Since I don't see any index buffers and it's a PS2 games, I'm going to assume it also uses one of those implicit face definition by just stringing together a bunch of vertices.

But I haven't written any code to do something like that so I can't verify it.
Do all of the files follow this format?

Code: Select all

int32 1
int32 0
int32 0
int32 5

char[12] "frame"
dword

char[12] "Micro"
dword

char[12] "Shape"
dword

char[12] "Hrchy"
dword

byte[404] just skipping

vertexSection maybe

[themonkeyman]

Yes, I believe all the models follow that format.

These look like related files so all of the counts are the same.
Try finding one that's distinctly different (maybe the name isn't anything close to SCN1)

Each file has a whole bunch of vertex groups(don't know how to determine beforehand. SCN1 has about 5000+ while SCN1B has about 10000+), and I don't know how the faces are drawn.

Any idea what this might be?



It's not all vertices...there are some weird parts too in between sometimes.

Code: Select all

for i in range(5000):
            unk1, unk2, unk3, numVerts = self.inFile.read('4L')
            if numVerts == 0 or unk2 // numVerts != 16:
                self.inFile.seek(32, 1)
            else:
                self.parse_vertices(numVerts)

I believe it is part of one of the levels.

How can I go about using this to import the vertices?

Code: Select all

for i in range(5000):
            unk1, unk2, unk3, numVerts = self.inFile.read('4L')
            if numVerts == 0 or unk2 // numVerts != 16:
                self.inFile.seek(32, 1)
            else:
                self.parse_vertices(numVerts)
