I finally bought the Rage Toolkit to see if it would offer any insight. What else can you do with the Rage Took Kit? I read it has a MD6 Model Editor. Can it be used to reverse the md6model format? I still don't know how bone-vertex assignments work. No, it only allows editing maps, creating walls ...

I finally bought the Rage Toolkit to see if it would offer any insight. And I did find it useful to create a test dataset. I made 4 textures, which are 512x512, with a simple descriptive text on each layer, saying what it is. (Diffuse/Specular/Normal/Bump). I then created a simple map with only this...

Images are compressed with HDphoto, not Jpeg XR. This specs are similar, but has some difference. And yes, duffuse map using YCoCg color space. Ok, I'll have a look then. I've saved files as both JXR (Jpeg XR) and WDP (Windows HD Photo) using a popular imaging app, and the formats seemed identical....

Data blocks represents HDPhoto bitstream without IMAGE_HEADER (see "HDPhoto_Bitstream_Spec_1.0.doc"). It's very complex format. I tried to adapt HD photo decoding library, but without results. yes, i've been pursuing that as well, though using the JPEG XR specification (which is materiall...

Well guys here it is... I have successfuly tested all fonts and english.lang file and it works great. Quick overview: "Load file" - accepts resources or index file, you need both of them "Export all" - exports all files into selected folder "Export" - exports selected ...

Here's a BMS script to cut out the first 3 page_blocks it encounters as 3 discrete files "Page_Block0.dat", "Page_Block1.dat", and "Page_block2.dat". It also prints the header info for those blocks. # Dumps 3 pages of data, displays header for each page that is dumped e...

Nice work many THX. :bravo: How can i load this script to test it. It's scripted in 010 Editor. http://www.010editor.com You would open the *.pages file with 010 editor, then the file I pasted above as a template (usually named *.bt) For viewing data 010 is pretty good. Things like QuickBMS are bet...

Also, some of the older ID/Doom formats (MD5,etc..) don't store things like vertex normals, binormals, tangents, for lighting. I think these values are pre-calculated. So, if they don't store this info, then what remains? Bone weights? That is a lot of room for just bone weights. These don't look l...

Well, thanks to the info m0xF posted, I can now navigate the QuadTree pretty well. This 010 script will break down a single branch of the quadtree in most any *.pages file: //-------------------------------------- //--- 010 Editor v5.0 Binary Template // // File: // Author: // Revision: // Purpose: ...

I'm looking at a model called commander60_01, and if I use the 4 bone indices found in the vertex, they don't assign to the correct bone. For example, I see his "head" bone is mapped to his left leg vertices, which is not correct. name1: "head_02_msh" name2: "models/charact...

Yeah, it looks like the older bmd6model files had the skeleton data embedded in the file, but then later, it was ripped out to an external skeleton file for the newer models. So, for the newer models, if you read in the skeleton file first to get the bone count, you can continue parsing the bmd6mod...

Also, in the .bmd6model file, there's a list of bytes after the skeleton string. Without knowing the bone count, I don't see how it's possible to continue parsing the file. It's just an odd dependency that seems sloppy. Yes for my parser I did a bit of guess work. From what I have seen the format i...

I'm just looking at these MD6 formats, and I don't understand why some of these values are stored as Big-endian, while other values are completely reversed in memory, like a 4-byte float. This is neither little-endian or Big-Endian, and easily confused for a Big-Endian WORD or SHORT (which a 4-byte...

I've found there's actually a bit more to the *.bimage format. The above information is correct with single channel 8 bit textures, but there are more types of textures with varying formats stored in the *.bimage format. So far I've found they are using *.bimage to store headerless DDS files, of ty...

Had to do second post for the Blender file.
