[PC] Lords of the Fallen 2014 maxscript

[zaramot]

Hi guys! Here's maxscript to import [PC] Lords of the Fallen 2014 models with bones and weights (3ds max 2009-2014) if anyone interested
BMS script by Aluigi & Ekey to extract files http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/bms ... fallen.bms

P.S. This game requires some 'digging" in files, but those models are definitely worth it, IMHO. Report bugs

[TheMask85]

thank you very much for your work!
would this also work for environmental pieces/static objects?

[zaramot]

Well, not planned, since there's no proper way to extract files with right names for now I bet you will have hard times with finding even character models which should be supported by my script. So, if there will be any questions with that, I will gladly answer to all of them

[TheMask85]

unfortunately that file doesn't seem to work.

Sample:

using 3DSMax 2012

Nice work, man. Unfortunately leg meshes won't import.

[zaramot]

TheMask85, sorry was a small mistake in the script - fixed. Let me know about other not working files

EDIT: Fixed script for some legs meshes, thanks Tosyk for files and bug report!

How can I extract the .dat files?

[zaramot]

You just need to extract .pkg files. Then you will get .dat files right? Then, you just need to identify models among this files - by opening them in any hex editor and look for line char_ or monster_/npc_ at the beginning of file or just trying to import them with script (not with word _apex first). Generally model parts are near to each other, so if you find any part - like boots others are near too. That's the only way for now - game is very well protected, so it's impossible to extract files with correct names and so on. I'm trying to create a list of models now, you must know what most of models are in common.pkg

Hi
Here is a small script for less digging in searching for models.
It finds name model in dat file, creates new folder 'fmesh_files' and copy dat file as fmesh file with model name.
For importing use maxscript.
It requires Blender 249 and Python 26.
How use:
1.run blend file
2.in Blender Text Window press alt+p , select any dat file and wait some time.

This game use probably the same game engine as Blood Knights.
And like in Blood Knights all informations about textures, materials, meshes and models are in managers,
in this case in "data_bin.pkg".
Unfortunately they use full names of files , not numbers or hashes.

Updated: 2015-02-15
- for cloth files go to new folder 'cloth_files'. No names. (try search at offset 447 )

Thanks Guys!
Here's another Sample:

"char_blacksmith" still appears without leg meshes. maybe it's stored somewhere else? couldn't find them though.
"char_demon_beastmaster" and "char_boss_demon_03" won't load.

keep up the great work!

[zaramot]

Fixed. Here's updated script. As for this blacksmith guy, I think he's some sort of a ghost - so, don't have legs (but he should have skirt, hmm strange). Maybe skirt is somewhere else?

EDIT: Updated for Tosyk's model

EDIT: Updated script for models to use same skeleton, without creating a new one all the time

[Tosyk]

found a model with broken weights.

thanks for this, Szkaradek123. really helpfull. what about all the rest files, which your script doesn't touch, are they not meshes?

[zaramot]

I assume there should be other type of LOTF meshes among them, it's physics-clothing meshes like all capes, cloth, skirts of player's armor and so on. You can see them in my picture at the first post - and they should be imported with LOTF_Apex script

wait, but this is common _body mesh.
