...is this the uncrackable one?? (.zm and .zm2) Carnevil Arcade

[ddadd]

I'm actually working on a carnevil fangame, so I'm looking for all the enemys textures, because I'm good at some forms of 3d modeling, but no good with textures.

Good old 16 bit texture times? (LeGreg January 07, 2007 04:00

R5G6B5 would be only fine, as long as it is used to display static unstretched images

anyways (tested with KRAMHED.WMS only!):

Code: Select all

from inc_noesis import *

def registerNoesisTypes():
    handle = noesis.register("whatever", ".wms")
    noesis.setHandlerTypeCheck(handle, noepyCheckType)
    noesis.setHandlerLoadRGBA(handle, noepyLoadRGBA)
    #noesis.logPopup(); 
    return 1

def noepyCheckType(data):
    bs = NoeBitStream(data)
    if bs.readBytes(2) != b'\x05\x80': 
        print("wrong sig!")
        return 0
    return 1

def noepyLoadRGBA(data, texList):
    bs = NoeBitStream(data)
    dataOffset = 40
    bs.seek(0x10)
    imgWidth = bs.readUInt()
    imgHeight = bs.readUInt()
    bs.seek(dataOffset)
    data = bs.readBytes(bs.getSize() - bs.tell())    
    data = rapi.imageDecodeRaw(data, imgWidth, imgHeight, "b5 g6 r5")
    texList.append(NoeTexture(rapi.getInputName(), imgWidth, imgHeight, data, noesis.NOESISTEX_RGBA32))
    return 1

btw: used scripts for getting textures from Ace and IronArthur as an inspiration - thanks for that!
(But without daemon1's "565" hint it would have led me to nowhere. )

Wow!!!
Thank you for the noesis script shakotay2!
Imma Test it later today

Yes! I had a friend helping me with the textures....so we sat there and tried a few things (this is how i came up with the 2 kramphed variants)
This Tipp really did the trick ^^

EDIT:
The script works super well! Opens and reads almost every texture correct:

I noticed, that stuff like fonts, effects and sprite animations seem to be exported with a wrong palette or wrong colors:

[shakotay2]

I'm not a "palette fan".

You may try out this swapping, though:
data = rapi.imageDecodeRaw(data, imgWidth, imgHeight, "r5 g6 b5")

(If it doesn't work, you need to search for the palette table and use it.)

I tried every combination ob rgb/565 possible...sadly without success.
I started out with your swap though, and it gave me this:

Thanks for all the info guys! I posted a tutorial on textures on youtube. Now we just need to find how to rip models. BTW just saw deaddy on texture resource

I posted a tutorial on textures on youtube.

Can you post a link? So people in the future have easy access

BTW just saw deaddy on texture resource

....I wonder who could've done that.....

Oh, just realized you were guy commenting

As far as models go, daemon1 already extracted them:

yes, there are 1520 files, and the models are very small and simple

However I cannot..... :-/
I might give it another try with hex2obj. But since most character models have alot of submeshes it requires reading alot of different vertex start adresses.

Carnefil_3D-Model_Files.zip

Here are the .zm files (and .zm2 ?)for:
-Maries Axe
-Final Boss Character Model
-Acid Bottle (should be simple)


So maybe you can give it a try yourself.
....or somebody skilled blesses us with a script

[ddadd]

It's kind of funny, I actually redid alot of the models in my Carnevil fangame, but either way I'll give it a shot.

[ddadd]

ZM are model raw data. Coordinates, normals, then faces with all UVs. As you could see, i made a test to check them, but it requires reading model infos from the GAME.EXE

So, I've tried running the GAME.EXE like he said, but I have found it is 16 bit and cannot run on my Windows 10. Can you open it? It was extracted with everything else so . . . .

[daemon1]

You dont have to run the exe. You just need to take submesh tables for each model. Number of faces/vertices etc. Since its hardcoded into it, i dont think theres a way to do this automatically. I can give a few examples where they are if you cant find them yourself.

[ddadd]

Please do. I've tried opening them into notepad, to see if any info about their models was there, but to no luck.

[ddadd]

Then we need to find a way to repackage textures and models, so we can make rom hacks/ mods

[ddadd]

So, do you need to open the models in blender or something?
Like I said, I'm not very good with that kind of stuff.
