i rarely finish any game unless it's coop and i have friends with the game as well. even with games that i like such as boob raider i get through maybe half and get bored. there are even some games like re orc that i get bored with so quick i dont even bother finishing the first level lol! mgrr is like that for me too. by the time i got to where sam kicks raidens ass on the train i was bored already.

still, rich was mocking mah python skillz lololol.

Haha! I see, I guess that makes sense.
Don't know much about Python, so I can't really say much, lol.
Anyway, it looks like you guys have made a huge progress on this.
Keep it up!

I just saw that big chunk of code to handle triangle indices in your screenshot, and I was going to remark about how that big mess would be boiled down to a single fast native-side call in the Noesis Python API, but then I thought it would be much more fun to make a MGR boss rant.

MrAdults wrote:The threads I've seen on facepunch have led me to the conclusion that their culture centers around the elevation of the people who run scripts to rip models and occasionally do the braindead job of reskinning and/or setting up ragdoll bodies before illegally distributing the content that they've butchered. So I imagine that actually providing scripts and/or tools there could make the sad little men who rip and convert models feel insecure in their position of communal knobslobbing, and we certainly can't have that.

I've been meaning to do MGR support for Noesis, because I finished playing through it the other week and it was awesome. I was initially going to plug it into the Bayonetta plugin, but I saw that the format is in fact very different, and I've been too lazy to actually look at it since then. It's easier to pick away at little bugs and crashes that take 5 minutes to fix when I can actually muster the energy to sit down for a second after work or on the weekend. Programming for a living all day really ruins the appeal, and usually when I have a programming job and I start working on Noesis a lot again it just means the job has become boring as shit.

howfie, manually checking index ranges? You just don't get it. I have a dream, that one day every developer on this forum will control their own software. A framework of the truly free, dammit. A framework of action, not design goals, ruled by functionality, not committee! Where the scripting changes to suit the developer, not the other way around. Where the power and flexibility are back where they belong: in the hands of the developer! Where every developer is free to think, to act, for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick script kiddies and chickenshit rippers. Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of model requests and hentai bullshit! Fuck engineer pride! Fuck the common software packages! FUCK ALL OF IT! Blender is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it. We need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN. And from the ashes, a new Blender will be born. Evolved, but untamed. The framework will be purged and the developers will thrive, to code as they see fit. They'll make Blender great again. In my new Blender, Noesis will target and bridge to it. Not for money, not for users, not because it seems convenient. Noesis will be free to work with software that doesn't suck!

lmao . looks like someone ripped your speech and put it into the game

Updated to handle xbox360 textures now. For the most part, xbox360 textures are a better but quite a few models use the the same low quality textures that the PS3 uses. Now with stage geometry as well. There are bones and weights but no auto-texture yet since textures can be located in folders that are all over place.

ripper.exe


Instructions:

1. Rip game. There are a number of tools to do this.
2. I forget if this game uses CPK (someone told me they did), if they do, use QuickBMS's CPK script.
3. Make a backup copy of your game and copy game files from the media directory to another directory.
4. Place ripper.exe and Unbundler.exe*** inside the media directory.
5. Run ripper.exe.
6. Come back maybe a half-hour later.
7. A few useless GUI textures may cause errors, just say OK or whatever and it will continue.
8. When done, you will see lots of files.
9. SMC files are intermediate model files for which you can load into Blender 2.49b using the included smcimport.py Blender script.

*** This game uses XBox360 XPR textures. You must either have Unbundler.exe (from the XBox360 SDK) or you can also use Noesis on the XPR files.

Notes:

Some models have UV maps with only a couple dots in it. These are for an outer skin and the textures for these skins are some kind of semi-transparent effects texture. Not sure WTF to do with them but the geometry is there and for the dog sample (the one Raiden meets just before he meets Mistral), I just deleted it.

maybe you meant half body, even if they are they will come in handy for something, anyone knows where they are?
