Version 2 fixes a problem with skeleton not loading for Adam.
Version 3 adds secondary UV maps.
Ripping Instructions:
- Create a new folder somewhere called "DEHR" (you can call it anything you want though).
- Copy bigfile.000, bigfile.001, bigfile.002, bigfile.003, patch0.000, patch0.001, and patch0.002 from main game into a new subfolder (i.e. "DEHR\main").
- Screw bigfile_English.000 as it contains nothing important.
- Copy bigfile.000 from the Missing Link DLC into a new subfolder as well (i.e. "DEHR\missing_link").
- Screw bigfile_English.000 as it contains nothing important.
- Place ripper.exe and zlib DLL into the "DEHR" folder (or whatever you called it) and run it.
- Say "YES" when it asks if it can delete unimportant files (unless you want a million files on your hard drive).
- Say "YES" when it asks if to process "000" files.
- Say "YES" when it asks if to process "DEX" files.
- Say "YES" when it asks if to process "PCD" files.
- Say "YES" when it asks if to process "MOD" files.
- Come back maybe one to two hours later depending on the strength of you computer. The program touches everything so it takes a while. This is amazing because if you spend 6 to 8 hours playing a game, at least one hour is spent watching some kind of loading screen
.
Model Instructions:
- OBJ: For quick previewing in Noesis or other editor.
- SMC: Model + skeleton. This file can be loaded into Blender 2.49b using the provided plugin.
- BONECOUNT.TXT: A text file generated in the same folder where you put the EXE. This lists all model files and the number of bones in each model file. From this, you should be able to tell which models are main characters and which ones are not.
Other Instructions:
- Eventually, you will find some textures are in other directories and may have trouble finding them.
- In these cases, look at the bottom of the material MTL_A files in a hex editor.
- You will see data like the below example.
- In the example below, look for textures 00000ADA.dds, 0000002B.dds, 00000035.dds, and 0000003D.dds.
- If they aren't in the same directory as the model file, search elsewhere.
- Or you can also wait till I implement auto-texture.
Code: Select all
DA 0A 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 01 00
2B 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 01 01 00
35 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60 04 01 00
3D 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 8B 02 01 00
3D 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2C 03 02 00
2B 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 01 00
DA 0A 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 01 01 00
35 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60 02 01 00
3D 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2C 03 02 00

that version should be fine.
to run script, you run from within blender and not the python command line.
steps are:
1.) open blender 2.49b
2.) set one of the panels to Text View
3.) open the script or paste it into the Text View
4.) run the script (Alt + P I think is the shortcut).
5.) select an SMC file and click OK/Open/Whatever.
6.) done

Many years later... It does. Although it took 11 hours because there are more bigfiles. Whether I ever actually look through the 10,000(!) folders is another matter entirely though lol.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. A number of the files listed in the original post are missing, and when initiating the program the window opens only for a brief second before closing again. Can you provide some assistance in troubleshooting this issue?
