How can you say this, when you've just spent weeks on an animation format A week is not that much time. I usually only have a couple of hours in the evening for research, and not every day. So if we count the actual time spent it will be about 10 hours for a normal game. This including research of ...

This is untrue. I disagree. I'm looking at this from a different angle. Let me just mention that my first assembler was a PDP system in late 1980's. Then 8080. I had to write my own disassembler for that, because there was no one on a particular platform, and I wanted to disassemble games for that....

But then when you run into something not like this and you need your analyzing muscle, it'll be weaker than it should be.

For PC x86/x64 games, once you narrow down the range of disassembly you're dealing with, you can pull it out and compile it into your own program locally. This isn't terribly difficult, wow, amazing I'm doing this very rarely. Only if its absolutely needed, for some very complex procedures. Actuall...

and above that, you have to understand quaternions and all those geometry calculations needed to build skeletons and animate models. Yeah, I remember that when you talked about IK. I thought most games used FK data since they come from motion capture, but it makes sense to calculate data on the fly...

Animation research in "normal" games usually takes 1-2 weeks. That meaning they're using normal data types like ints, floats or half-floats. But recently I reversed Morpheme engine. This look about a month. They had mixed global/local rotations, variable bit-length packed data, specially p...

It only works on snake (Ground Zero format) skeletal animations now, but soon there will be support for all kinds.

http://i63.tinypic.com/24fmyyq.jpg I'm researching Metal Gear Solid 5 animations. They have unique and interesting system. So far I was able to read all position/rotation data for all frames/bones and unpack rotations to proper quaternions. They were packed another weird way I've never seen before....

If I'm not mistaking, you can convert them with my updated version of ealayer3, it was here somewhere... I'll find the link later.

p.s. send me examples of files that dont work

i mean this one: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13584

yes, all the latest frostbite games usually work with that extractor

tried star wars extractor?

Today I found some time to return to this game. Well, it really has submeshes for each material and crazy bone remappings. Here's the tool. Use it on .MDG or .MDL file. It will only work with skeletal model files. To get the skeleton structure and bone names, it needs any .ANM file of that character...

Tool always ignores file size. If they only add some textures, tool will still work. If it crashes, it means they changed the FORMAT.
