Or these params for H2O:

Using AMR:

delete strings with "Restart" words, make correct numbers in VTX, and after blender plugin is work. But in model has many holes, and wrong gluing polygons... The "Restart" identifiers are used to mark the end of the triangle strip. Perhaps the plugin supports only normal triangl...

I believe will provide potential reference for decryption. Yeah, for sure. [roll] The data is definitely compressed. Calculate the CRC32 of the corresponding "unencryptedERF" file and you'll find the result as a little-endian integer at offset 0xE in the "EncryptedERF" file. So ...

The normals have a vertex count field (as a 4-byte integer) before the buffer, same as positions and uvs. So just search the count in the file and you should be able to locate to it.

First LOD:

You need to use something called Blend material instead of Multi/Sub-Object material.

There're about 14 submeshes in this file. That's why the UVs look such heavily chaotic. As the header indicates, this is just a buffer object with limited info. The actual submesh info must be stored somewhere else, most possibly in another file, which the author of this thread probably failed to me...

You were just using the wrong indices.

The count fields of the vertices/indices are usually stored before corresponding data blocks, if ...

could you please help to look into them?

Quick patch:

It's not yet a tool. Everything is still experimental. And the research had been paused for a long time ever since that post was made. Though I shall return to it in the near future. Just a matter of time.

do you think it would be possible to extract Battlefront 2 mod with this script ? I don't know. Never look into any samples from that game so no way to tell how different they're. But aren't there some existing tools that can do the job? I seem to have to seen that title a couple of times in this f...

Unfortunately none of these samples I checked come with a valid top projection. Same circumstance might be applied to most of the meb files from PC3. So it seems pretty obvious that it's not meant to be handled in this way.

Just an attempt to restore the X factor based on the overlapped top projection and use the UV to determine the sign. Also need to remap the factor to its original boundary since it uses a different scale.
