read is always going to return a bytearray, as is the standard behavior for all such reads in Python. And you can't treat bytearrays as strings directly. readString will give you back an actual string, though. It should also be noted that you're probably going to see significantly decreased performa...

I was just relating how games get model data into rendered triangles to how triangles are meant to be fed into the rpg interface in Noesis. The purpose of that interface is to provide a graphics API-like interface for feeding data, mainly because that's usually (but not always) the way data is alrea...

If you construct the meshes yourself (by creating the mesh/model/etc. objects and attaching them manually) you can do whatever you want in whatever order you want. If you are using the RPG interface then you must know the material at the time you commit triangles, just like OpenGL/Direct3D. In actua...

Python is only able to import correct? To export in a special format We need to code a dll correct? Not sure why you would think that, you can also export with Python scripts. Image exporting is done in the Q2 WAL and SoF M32 scripts, and the __NPExample.txt script shows how to import and export to...

the colors of the body in FF7 Models doesn't appear As mentioned, you need to set the diffuse color to the vertex color channel(s) on the material(s) on the model. From memory, I believe there's a "Vertex paint" or "Vertex color" map type or some such that you can assign to the ...

I moved away from struct arguments because I usually get confused which is which, and anyone that's reading the code would probably have to figure out which is which as well. In that case, is there any particular use for the readLong readShort methods? Not sure what you mean by figure out which is ...

Yep, what chrrox said. There's also already a function in inc_noesis.py to do the decode/strip for you, with a default argument that assumes "ASCII" for the string formatting. So you can also just go
yourString = noeStrFromBytes(bs.readBytes(Length))

Alright I finally had time to look into noesis python API and quickly wrote up a script for a very simple format and the geometry came out (didn't look at referencing textures yet but it should be easy) But when I look at the code I wrote and the format outline, it's pretty hard to follow along unl...

Export to another format other than FBX. Then go to Blender and convert to FBX and see if that works. Maya and Max I think have trouble with his FBX and DAE exports. Last time I tried using Noesis to convert some FF models to DAE (which was like, uhm, yesterday), Maya went bonkers when I tried to i...

Indeed.

No, it loads the actual CZR's and un-lzh's them on the fly. That one he uploaded just has something fucky with the actual model, or it's a bad dump. You never can tell with these people.

Your rip is fucked. Correct size for 000_ken_mdl.bin is 1,402,992 bytes.

PS- Zegapain XOR files are supported by the new Bullet Witch script in 3.72.

So you signed up, and made your first ever post about your outdated version of Noesis not doing something that was added in the most recent version of Noesis. Impressive. Very impressive.

Just some very small changes.

I'll make a build some other time, probably after I shove the LZH algorithm into Noesis so you can just open the czr files directly.

They changed the file version as well as the vertex formats. chrrox's script works because it doesn't care about weighting but Noesis does.

Go grab Noesis 3.71. It still has issues with the new weighting though.
