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...

As you can see it's very simple code. So I'd suggest to learn C (or any other programming or script language). Up to then you might try out this tool (for ps3 only) to create the H2O files for you: MakeH2O-bins-Ben10UA.zip Thanks a lot mate! It works fine for almost all *.ps3 files. But as you've s...

g_hm.ps3 :D g_hm_ps3.png Thanks! Actually I did have tried that startaddr of the face indices, but using a wrong vertices startaddr. Since 4532*44(dec) equals 0x30af0, subtract it from 0x1b3b00 we get 0x183110. Then why should the correct address be 0x182fe0? And I'm still confused about the FVFsiz...

And here the result for the g_hm.xbx:

Models are simple 1-mesh models (at least from the first look) http://i.imgur.com/DPbwcbH.png I've read the tutorial again and again and indeed I've learned a little more than before. However I'm still not quite good at this: g_hm_ps3.jpg (Also tried the g_hm.xbx, with similar results) Seems I'm on...

The only way is to learn how textures may look like, find some patterns inside of data, and then find a way to detect this. I can compare several dds files to figure out their common characteristics however these characteristics may only shared by the several files I compared. Namely I'm not likely...
