Sad to hear that.
Seems these models are packed as max and ma formats. Have you looked at the textures files? Maybe they ain't DDS files. Look like PNG files imho.

It didn't work for the lastest so-call "Biggest Update Ever". Crashed immediately and extracted nothing.

there may be other files that contain the models and textures that you have not discovered yet. Most of the files in the EntityTemplates folder should contain models and textures. Only five characters have separate meshes and textures. I replaced the textures of these characters and they look like ...

if i were you i'd take these big archives to zenhax and have aluigi make a bms script to split the files which would make them easier to work with. :) Well, have never noticed that forum before though. Maybe I can do some explorations there. However as I know, splitting an archive could require a l...

@AceWell Sorry to bother you again. (: After finishing that three game I was going to extract meshes from Ben 10 Omniverse, another game of Ben 10 series powered by Vicious Engine 2. However the game structure was totally different from its previous three games. While its files mainly named in hexad...

here is a zip with a bms script to split the textures from the xbx files and a Noesis python script to open the resulting textures for that game :D Wow, great! Thanks a lot! :D i just realized Noesis won't use a particular script selected in the dropdown list, alphabetical order seems to be the pri...

ah, had another closer look and the data offset is just different :D try this Noesis python script for that game textures Thanks! Textures extracted successfully now. But when I sorted out the maps I found some textures were missing, same as Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. Interestingly, these textures are ...

looks like an additional layer of tiling on top of the 360 untile, i don't know, can't make anything of it its a different game from a different year so things probably change in development. :scaredy: I dumped some textures from the Wii version with Dolphin and found they had the same content but ...

i updated my previous post with a zip file containing a better bms and Noesis python script to handle both PS3 or X360 textures :D I've also successfully extracted some meshes from another Ben 10 related game, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL. The textures' headers also start as 0x90 43 40 0...

Also another successful test of g_wh.ps3:

this post explains what i was talking about for patterns http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?p=120284#p120284 find the pattern, i find it easier to see on the text side set the text column width to reveal a vertical pattern to see where it starts follow that pattern to where it starts and you hav...

yeah - I really like that spirit! :) Unlike many others you really want to know what you're doing. Well, I have to know that if I want to extract a mesh successfully myself. :D So that's nothing since I know I cannot always rely on others. But as a beginner, I know measly about this field and there...

While for FVFsizes a good method is to divide the size of the vertices list by the vertex count. Thing is that often it's unclear where the vertices list to end especially for half floats or words. So even doing a calculation is not always working. Then what's the pattern AceWell spoke of? It reall...

This should not be referred to as patterns (I feel guilty :cry: ), since it's different from the ones, AceWell spoke of. Whoops, I thought a pattern was a piece of sequence differed from file to file, since you said it was some assumed pattern in your previous post. So what exactly does it means wh...

i just locate a pattern and follow it to the beginning or end and record the offsets and length. The question is how am I supposed to locate the correct pattern? That is, how can I know whether it's the pattern I'm looking for? I've noticed that the pattern of g_ad.ps3 is B4 01 58 1D 00 00 00 00, w...
