With the release of all the the Structure Arts model kits my anticipation for being able to pull undistorted geometry grows exponentially

Right on.

Any plan to add texture extraction to the completed product? Was noticing that dumping TIM2s from FM4 (TextER) results in a lot of garbled mess. My only real success is dumping textures with Ninjaripper and then fixing the half transparency in Photoshop. Though that misses any unused/cut textures li...

You need to provide a path in which to create and write the model file, which will be named after its offset in the DAT. Where lol? I'm assuming: with open(+str(offset), 'wb') as model: needs to be: with open('D:\path\to\file\location'+str(offset), 'wb') as model: or something? Edit Yeah, that work...

But seriously, intact UVs is soooooo nice. Saves so much time, even with splitting apart materials.

So I get thrown the same error with FM4, FM5, and FMO PS2 when attempting to run the 'FM DAT Dumper.py' IDLE Shell 3.11.3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\VideoGames\PS2\FM DAT Dumper.py", line 54, in <module> with open( + str(offset), 'wb') as model: TypeError: bad operand type...

Have you actually extracted the DAT and POS files from the ISO? Aw man, I missed your reply on the page jump, and have edited my previous posts multiple times. But yeah, I just keep getting errors when trying to extract both with FM4 and FM5 (DVDIMAGE.DAT and DVDIMAGE.POS copied from respective .IS...

with open('C\games\PS2\FrontMission5\DVDIMAGE.DAT','rb') as DAT: with open('C\games\PS2\FrontMission5\DVDIMAGE.POS','rb') as POS: Tried this, but then I get new complaints about: Dat Dumper.py line 24, in <module> OffsetsLocation = (int.from_bytes(POS.read(4), 'little') * 4) + 8 AttributeError: typ...

You just need to open them in IDLE or another Python IDE and provide the path of a model file where specified, so at line 20 in FM DAT Dumper.py with open(,'rb') as DAT: with open(,'rb') as POS: I need to put in the path to the Front Mission DAT and POS files? like: with open(C\games\PS2\FrontMissi...

Got the DAT parser working even while isolating models and have altered the FM4 script to go over them. You mind posting a quick overview of how to use these python scripts? They aren't Noesis plugins? Cmd line? Python Max Scripts? I am not a smart man. :oops: Attached is a Front Mission Online .DA...

Update: Just checked the second game, the key provided by hunshimowangzhy above was from it. Update 2: Builds are now merged into single one with support for 4 games, including Archeland, Kalpa of Universe, Doula Continent and Mecharashi. Update 3: Support for Bless Global is added. Nice, thanks fo...

Nice, one step closer to being able to get all the mobile weapons from FMO into modeling software.

Definitely would be cool, found the Front MIssion Online Driscoll/Raven encounter files, would love to see them in proper 3D

What are you using to extract the raw files from Front Mission 4 and 5? I think the last time I was digging for content I used Munge Explorer, and then more recently I came across some quickbms scripts on Zentax that I haven't really checked beyond using them for extracting some audio. FMO is easy a...

Google harder maybe.

Some animations get broken and most of the Arms Forts crash out Max but otherwise great tool.
