no the positions in the image are multiplied by the 4th float. I took [X,Y,Z]*W to get the X,Y,Z of each position. of course anything multiplied by zero equals zero, thus why the head is in the center. because the 4th float must not be a multiplier as I preivously thought here is an image without us...

so what do you feel the numbers represent? ..anyways I compiled more bone positions, and I'm going to try and mimic the ground hog file. since the ground hog is the only character model that doesn't deform in game. according to b0ny it has its own skeleton in the cat. my goal is to put the skeleton ...

I just put the mesh objects together, and copied the coordinates from 3dsmax. from objects like the left and right hand, the distance between the two should have been relative to the positions in the file. however there not. I'm afraid I'm out of ideas on importing meshes with proper positions :\ as...

I dont think its radius, I think it was mislabeled.. theres 4 floats, naturally you would associate such a pattern with an object position.. EDIT1 ok, well I assembled one of the DOAU meshes.. and the pivot of the vertex weighted pieces seem to be relative to the bone positions. meaning after aligni...

@b0ny you made alot of advancements, truly awesome :D if you got that far, why didn't you make a model importer? @ganjul I think the radius assumptions are wrong, I wrote a bunch of zeros and theres no change ingame.. I think it sounds kind of odd to hardcode these things into an EXE, like a skeleto...

O_o interesting stuff man, well done.. I wonder what happens when I implement a custom skeleton back into the CAT file. I'm going to focus my scripting on the PC port of DOAU. Dead or Alive Online. they used the DOAU files directly, but stripped the XPR header from the files. Modding can't get any e...

alright I think the XPR info is pretty complete then :D still I can't get that mesh positioning info to work ? it may be relative to the position of the bones. but theres doesn't seem to be any clear signs of bone or parenting info :\ I moved onto the secondary file (.CAT) hoping to find bones, but ...

there not codes, there just someones notes.. you can't do anything with these really. unless your the person who wrote them

lol
for me its the opposite, I have no education with programming. but have been looking around in a hex editor for a couple of years.. just as a hobby

alot of my format details are based on my own assumptions, so you shouldn't feel confined by my format specs. its best if you solve the format on your own. that way a consensus can be made on the specification of the format. I posted what I know just to give others an idea of my own thoughts. but si...

I haven't figured out the tables yet actually... anyway the 5th long in the XPR is the address to the tables. to make this not soo confusing, your going to read that LONG and add 0x14 to the address and jump from the starting of the file next the table entries all start with a SHORT 0x0001 then foll...

yeah that ID x80 00 00 00 gives you a jump relative to that address. but don't follow the jump yet. keep reading until you reach 0 to terminate your loop then to evaluate the table that the ID x80 00 00 00 points you to. you just loop until -1 is reached. I need to re-script, to include DOA3 and DOA...

OK, I've written a format spec based on what I've been able to figure out in the past day. please help fill in the holes if possible. The models are stored into a xpr file, which from what I recall. someone mentioned that XPR was a microsoft file container for the xbox. I don’t know if this is true,...

do you have format specs on DOAU?

EDIT
found an old doc; http://www.viewdocsonline.com/document/wpe6kq

its not very detailed, only reconfirmed what I had just figured out in the past hour.

do you have any additional information?

if people are stealing your "work" then I'm not sure why you posted this here?

hackers, be hackin!
