This format, like most of the other formats documented on that site, use ps2 vif tags. The "chunk_id" in this instance is not going to be constant throughout the file, as it is actual a bitfield with a number of values determining how to process the data that follows it. i explain a bit about the fo...

The stage.dat encryption is already known for mostly all MGS games, 2 - 4, TTS and a number of the psp titles. If you would like to get better acquainted with the unencrypted format, investigate the slot files for now. They are basically stage.dat files without the directory tree. They have a defini...

ps2 vif tag are very tricky to handle solely on a visual basis if you do not take all the commands and flags into account. For instance the "patterns" you are seeing of this form: 02 01 00 01 04 04 00 01 04 01 00 01 are set cycle commands. The specify how often values are either read or written into...

Only have the first game, and still a lot of catch-up work to do at the moment. i'll compare against the other games once i get the chance. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/442/altairjk.jpg Once i work out a more reliable way to dump the data, i can hopefully move a bit quicker.....Have only mapped ...

Well,...i finally found the initial compression method. Seems to work so far, through will have to test more and ensure that this is the only method used. The algorithm is so simple i am somewhat embarrassed it took me so long to find it. Hopefully everything will pan out and the rest of the interna...

Load the model first, then drag and drop the animation file onto Noesis. Press "No" at the prompt that asks you if you want to replace the current scene. You can either press cancel at the file load dialog that pops up for the HSKN file, or pick the file that corresponds to the animation. Usually sh...

Noesis plugin has been updated with map support.
Check display all models in the Data Viewer if you want them all to render at once. Cycling through the models can allow you to fame the scene closer, or simply zoom completely in to fly around the scene.

Nice work Mr Aults,this is really awesome , also i test the plugins for avp and uinleashed and they work great. :wink: Edit: Before any one ask the plugin dont work for unleashed 2 models. Please make sure you have properly decompressed the files for TFU2 before claiming the plugin doesn't work for...

Where did you see that bones are done?

Yeah, since all the emulators should know the start and end addresses of dynamically recompiled blocks of code, should hopefully be somewhat trivial to sort of set up an interface to set break points at the pseudo instruction locations and catch the related exceptions that are thrown. i have been me...

Never thought to ask this here, heh. I would be interested in this as well, as i had planned on making my own conversion for either IDA Pro, or another more open source debugger. Just that it would be a really big project at the moment. Unfortunately the last i checked the pcsx2 team cannibalized th...

Format doesn't seem to have changed much. Header added a data size value making them 0x14 bytes now instead of 0x10 bytes. Some data chunks also no longer duplicate the chunk header information in the actual chunk data. There also seems to be a flag to indicate when data is big endian, instead of li...
