Glorious!

[kalmiya]

Nicey!

I made some modifications, can you give this version a try ?

[TheRealMethuselah]

On it.

EDIT:
FLAWLESS VICTORY!


Re-converting all of my .app files now.


Thank you so much for your quick response to inquiries, kalmiya. I appreciate it, wholeheartedly.

Working perfectly.


Chests!

Hey guys, been pretty busy the last couple of days, certainly with the D3 Expansion coming along.

I've taken every piece of code I could find, dropped it into a max script and now I'm able to import the app files into max, completely rigged and skinned.

It took quit some time to figure out how to apply all these things in Max, cause exporting it to obj does not involve bones, vertex weights etc...

it's not completed yet, just a wip..

I need some way to find the texture/material

in the code I took the example of Adria, so if you want to use the script ( as of Max 2011) you need to change the hard coded file of adria.app and here dds files to make it work

So theoretically any model I plug in to the line that defines what file I want to import should work, right?

Also, what's the workflow for getting the actual files? I feel kind of lost jumping into long threads like these.

EDIT: Just tried out that above script, doesn't seem to work with Max 2012, unfortunately, it throws errors about arrays being too large or something0. Hope taylormouse decides to update the script so we can get these out rigged with original bones.

EDIT EDIT: Just had a thought that maybe it's more the fact this script predates 2.0 and RoS that's the cause of the errors. In any case, hoping for someone to come through and get us rigged meshes.

[TheRealMethuselah]

My workflow is:

1. Use MPQEditor to extract the .app files from ClientData.mpq


2. Use MPQEditor to extract the .tex files from Texture.mpq


3. Use xvi32 with a textures.xsc file (below) to convert the header of the .tex files

textures.xsc

Code: Select all

ADR 0
REPLACE EF BE AD DE 2F BY EF BE AD DE 2B

batch file:

Code: Select all

@for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b *.tex') do ( xvi32.exe "%%a" /S="textures.xsc" )
exit

4. Use D3TexConv to convert the .tex files to .dds files

Code: Select all

@for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b *.tex') do D3TexConv.exe "%%a"

5. Use nvconvert to convert the .dds files to .png

Code: Select all

nconvert -out png *.dds

6. Use d3rs_app2obj to convert the .app to .obj files

Code: Select all

@for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b *.app') do d3rs_app2obj.exe "%%a" "%%a.obj"
REN *.app.obj ??????????????????????????????.obj
DEL *.app /q

7. Profit.


EDIT: kalmiya, in the previous iterations of the converter, I was able to select certain portions of it, be it wings, etc, and delete them. In this current version it looks as though it is simply one piece. Is there a way to extract the model with the pieces in tact?

EDIT 2: As TehDave mentioned. If there is any way to extract WITH the bones, you would make us all very happy.

EDIT 3: You've been uber generous. I've been racking my brain on the animation thread, trying to figure out how you view the animations... would you PLEASE give me a heads up or step-by-step?

[ibeckman671]

I wish d3rs_app2obj converted some of the models correctly. It seems the main characters and Tyrael come out blotchy. Here is the Monk for example. What am I doing wrong?

[TheRealMethuselah]

You're doing nothing wrong.

It seems that the models for the players have all of the items equipped, but that they are separate pieces.

That goes back to my question earlier. In previous iterations, you could remove those pieces. Now, it's just one big piece.

Same goes for Tyrael, there is some model pieces over his face.


As for the Barbarian, he's got everything on him too.

@1: The problem is with how 3dsmax imports it. Apparently 3dsmax only imports it correctly if the triangles are in 1 contiguous block. But that apparently broke the grouping. I might have an idea, will take a look. Update: Try the attachment ( completely untested ^^ )

@2: I can extract the bone-data in my parser, the problem is that the .obj fileformat is quite primitive (which makes it easy to export meshes) but it just does not support bone-information. I was looking for alternatives, only text-format I know is collada ( which is a real pain, and I was actually rewriting my engine to directly import .blend files instead of collada, before I got curious about the d3 fileformat ).

@3: I don't know how to import it into 3dsmax - I'm a software developer, not a graphics-guy ^^ There are some max-scripts in the d3-threads - I think by TailorMouse and ZeroGravity - I guess it should be possible with those. I'd actually be interested in a step-by-step tutorial on how to load it into 3dsmax.

As a background: I'm trying to use the bone-data to "magically" transform the vertices in my little sandbox engine.
So here goes a question of my own: If I look in the .app file, there also is bone-information. What is it intended for? Should that be applied to the mesh-vertices first - to bring the model in the "t-pose" as the starting-point for applying a keyframe from the .ani ?

For example, for the chest the .app contains the following info:

# model bone-structure
# [0] id=0 'Root_Joint' - parent-id=-1 (no parent)
# - q( 0.000, 0.000, 1.000, 0.000) p(-1.591, 0.000,-0.000) s( 1.00)
# - q(-0.000,-0.000, 1.000,-0.000) p( 1.591, 0.000, 0.000) s( 1.00)

Ok, I see. I'll try a few things here and there.

Adria (Adria_idle_01 34 frames)


Adria new with animation frame. (Click to enlarge 1920x1080)


Mallet Lord with animation frame. (Click to enlarge 1920x1080)

I think I've got enough data to animate to get some good model poses. Thank you again.

[TaylorMouse]

I redid the script, you can download them from here:

http://www.sc2mapster.com/assets/sc1-ra ... rt-script/

Also, if you put them in your startup script, the first time you run them it could throw an error ( don't know why ) just re-evaluate the script and it should work

Animation script included

T.

[TaylorMouse]

Btw TheRealMethuselah, where did you get the devil circle in the backgrounds from ?

T.

[kalmiya]

Trying the new script (from 2 posts ago) - it does load the adria-rs-model, but when trying to load the adria-rs-run/walk-animation I get a messagebox displaying "Maxscript rollout handler exception: --type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined"... ? Also tried with a rs-chest. Anyone else got that problem?

[Update]: Seems that 3dsmax doesn't like "echo".

[TheRealMethuselah]

Here ya go, TaylorMouse:



Here's my new gallery.

Got it! Fixed.


ibeckman, so there were a few pieces of Tyrael you had to get past:


A_restored_cloth
A_normal_mat
A_restored_mat
A_skeleton_mat

It now loads just fine.
