Help with a script for 3D models from Everybody's Golf World Tour [PS3]

[Magilou]

Hello,
I need help making a script to import models from EGWT into blender, similar to the one made in this old thread by Szkaradek123 that worked for a different game in the same series, (also on ps3):
viewtopic.php?t=12715

They're using the same .xb files that need to be unpacked, and I have a few samples from an ISO that I think anyone could practise with (I assume pc_xx is standing for player character):
https://www.mediafire.com/file/k7w7vxts ... s.rar/file

If anyone could help and make a script to unpack the xb files and load the rigged models and animations into blender, I'd be very grateful. The first script may just need a tweak but I don't know much about coding to know what is needed x)

Thanks in advance for to anyone who helps out.

Hello,
why do you think so? In fact they are different, compare any of the EGWT xb files to a HSGW xb:
.

The "29000000" is a count (41 decimal for said model, used in for m in range(A[1]):)

For most EGWT xb it's 00000003 (50331648 dec.), so not a count, obviously.
Structure is different, too.

Sorry, my bad.

Like I said, I don't know enough about code. Does that mean it can't be done?

At least offzip did not work (use forum search to understand how it works).

(So you'll need someone to uncompress the .xb files.)

Thanks for taking a look for me.

If anyone could have a look at uncompressing the xb files, that'd be very helpful. If it's a lot of work I don't mind sending a donation through paypal for your effort. Just let me know first, so I know if I can afford it Thanks!
