[dainazinas]

Releasing early versions of a tools (yes there are bugs)to import models from upcoming EA/DICE game Star Wars Battlefront 2015. (V1.1)(01/08/15)
To use the mesh import tool you`ll need to :

1. Dump game archives using Battlefield 4 python script by mr FrankElstner.
1.1 Where? = https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/881 ... cripts.rar
1.2 How? = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR4dSlGxN-4

2. Then you need to run my chunk&mesh file tool. Tut is made using bf4 and bfhl but it all works on swbf.
2.1 Where? = https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/881 ... h_Tool.rar
2.2 How? = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EKxrBnRNBc

3. Then you can use my maxscripts. Tested only on 3ds max 2012x64
3.1 Where? = https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/881 ... cripts.rar
3.2 How? = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdgwQpWCk84

4. Then for textures use my texture tools to get the files.
4.1 Where? = https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/881 ... WBF%29.rar
4.2 How do I view DX10 format? = http://pixelandpolygon.com/
4.3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/881 ... verter.rar Paste these three files to the texture folder ur working with and run ctex_all.bat

Credits to Mr Frankelstner, Luxox_18, and very helpful guys on Xentax forum.

Good luck.

Why not just convert the cape to .obj for people that can't do it themselves it'd be so much easier and nicer for everyone.

Also you need to fix your bone tool the one in the 3ds max scripts download as it only imports half the bones (44) on one side and the full bone count is 266 or 267.

1. You are missing my point here, this is a tool release(work in progress) not a model request thread.
2. Bone tool has a variable "bone_count =*" change * to whatever you need.
good luck

Your missing my point as well don't include the cape mesh in your max scripts download and not tell people it can't be opened with your script cause the mesh has no chunk file since the data is in the mesh file and the mesh can only be converted with hex2obj and finding the mesh data with a hex editor, your GIF you posted indicates you can get the cape out with ease.

the cape is in the *.mesh file, not in the ebx file.

imperial_snowtrooper_male_01_cape_new_mesh 66a52387cd251531 c0110000e03e03007001000090003001.mesh

cape in obj format.

http://download1324.mediafire.com/w52af ... 1.mesh.rar

info:

the mesh data for the cape is in floats not half floats contrary to the other files. The vertex data start in 0x11c0 not in 0x0 , the size is 56 bytes ( total = 1595 vtx), faces in 0x16EB0. UV are in Half floats with 52 bytes size.


NOTE: Relax guys.

Yep neither does my tool i have it just completely crashes it, i think it's cause the script and my tool are looking for a update folder and the beta doesn't have that.

Um sadly his mesh and chunk tool doesn't work with the beta.....

EDIT: Nevermind i fixed it on my own here it is http://www.mediafire.com/download/8bk91 ... Reader.rar

Um you will need to run it twice, once in the chunk folder that is put along side the bundles and then again on the chunk folder inside the bundles folder.

also the exe is in Bf3_MeshFile_Type_Reader\bin\Debug .

If i can get the Itexture working i'll past it here.

If you just wanna find the chunk for a single mesh, a faster way would be to download HexEdit
http://www.hexedit.com/

right click on the mesh file, open with HexEdit, then the chunk id will be somewhere in there

for Star Wars Battlefront, the chunk id starts at 00, 0F0
example; for a280_mesh1p, the chunk id is 703182a1ec3d43c1c70f781a679886e3

then search for that id in /chunks/ & /bundles/chunks

anyway, if you can get his 3ds max mesh importer working too, that would be cool

Yeah that sadly is a very time consuming thing and i don't have a lot of time to waste these days, but i am atm trying to figure out the Max Script.

[JakeGreen]

Sorry to double post but it's been awhile.

Any chance you could update your Itexture and 3ds max script to work with the full game, i'd be willing to supply you any of the mesh and chunk files you need to get it working.
