it was before i knew how to convert models very well i just remember checking existing tools and they did not work.

the format is based off of sony's sdk that uses collada as a base.
so in a sense it is using a standard just a really annoying and complex one.

i think i looked at fire emblem a long time ago and it did not use a normal wii format.

your texture looks wrong.

i only had one model to work with as all i had was the demo
you can try editing the script
change the lines
tu = bs.readShort() / 0xFFFF + .5
tv = bs.readShort() / 0xFFFF + .5
into
tu = bs.readShort() / 0x7FFF + .5
tv = bs.readShort() / 0x7FFF + .5

click on flip uv's

and the scale i think is in th ematerials but if you flip them you can place them correctly.

there is an example in the noesis program.

if you look at the output folder the files will have names ignore the text.

Noesis importer for heavenly sword.

just wait for the 360 version to come out there is a 99% chance it will already work.

some games list 3 floats and 4 bone id's then the leftover weight gets assigned to the last bone listed.

the command in the documentation
{"createProceduralAnim", Noesis_CreateProceduralAnim, METH_VARARGS, "generates a procedural animation. (OOi)"}, //args=NoeBone list, NoeProceduralAnim list, numFrames

noesis has a built in animation test you can use. also you can rotate the bones in noesis.
all weights will add up to 1.0 because a vertex can not have more then 100% weight.
