World at War research complete. I'll think if I create a new thread for it, or put them all here.



So for now, latest versions for 007 Quantum of solace and for WaW

Some mistake in release. Get the latest version, must work.

is there any special technique to obtain models out of ps3?

No, it must work. Send me example files.

Andrakann wrote:I think my header miss some mip-levels data

No. Normal DDS first have biggest mip, then all small. Here its otherwise. So the best way is to cut off all small mips and save it as 1-mip DDS.

Actually it work on a trigger of a pistol. But for other submeshes blender just ignore it all.

Andrakann wrote:Maybe it's because nobody's extract those FF to big DAT file with unpacked data iside?

No its because proper parsing unpacked FF file is almost impossible.

Tosyk wrote:I'm just saying that since they are autogenerated

No they are not. What you see in current tool is autogenerated by 3Dmax because I didn't put proper normals into the tool yet.

Tosyk wrote:So I don't think devs had much time to bother making smooth groups for the models.

They made them. I see them. I can extract them. They are proper normals.

So, maybe devs uses autosmoothed models + normal maps for rendering? NO. They have normals in models . You don't understand what I say. I posted a tool without normals . Because I can't apply them to the model. I only made 1 file with normals extracted to show you that they don't work. Может так бу...

I checked files from World at War. They are all different. So I need time to reverse their formats.

Why is it all needed? I thought all CoD games were already researched. Or they can't be ripped now for some reasons?

Andrakann wrote:but this lines looks wrong

The problem is not in this line. ALL NORMALS are not working. They are properly extracted from model, but they just don't work. Until someone can tell me how to fix them, I'll leave them for autogeneration.

Andrakann wrote:They looks like autogenerated averaged normals

I know. I've sent you file with normals from the game. Look at them and tell me whats wrong.

Andrakann wrote:Looks like normal smooth is recalculated, not original?

They look ok, but don't work. If you can tell me whats wrong here, I'll apply them. Sample file: http://www109.zippyshare.com/v/3F4DUaVP/file.html

ok I found the cars wheels. Now its all ready and published at the first post. Have fun.

Yes

Yes, cars have bones too.
