Thanks for taking your time to look into this! Yes it does work with the 3rd Jan version of the blend file
Thanks again

I used the files you sent me:
phw_00_nude_0001_noalpha.pac
phw_01.pab
phw_06_01_stand_idle_00.paa
phw_04_01_move_run_r_00.paa
with Blender249.blend as of 3.1.2015 (3rd January) and all works fine
(apart from some oddities with the blender timeline window where the Play/Stop button had to be pressed several times)

Is there an updated version of these scripts that is needed to run the .PAA extraction?
I am using blender 249 and the script fails and says "Missing parentheses in call to 'print' (inside blender)
I'm just trying to extract the animations, but I can not get it to work...
Anyone have any help/advice/tutorial?
Thanks!

Here is an animation importer for models from this game.
It requires Blender version 249 and Python 26.
I used chrrox script for Noesis
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10909 and ArthainBaka file format research .
Steps:
1.unpack importer
2.run Blender249.blend
3.in Blender Text Window press alt+p and select:
-pac file - for importing a skinned mesh
-pab file - for importing a skeleton
-paa file - for importing an animation
-pam file - for importing static objects
Updated 2015-01-10:
-added pam importer
Updated 2015-01-06:
- added new animation importer
Can you please update the script? Its not working with many models in new recent game version

I used the method halftofloat from PAZ unpacker code to get 4bytes float values from 2bytes data representing float values
It worked for both formats PAC an PAB, even PAA keyframe values seem normal values but rotation and translation are quite weird, you can see tha t is moving but with an unacceptable result. Hope this put some light into this matter

In blender
2.49b: with the
suiting blend file open (yes, there are several .blend file
versions, which version/date are you talking about?)
with the mouse cursor in blender's script window:
- press alt-p, load pac (the mesh)
- press alt-p, load pab (the skeleton)
- press alt-p, load paa (the animation)
result:
.

Checking for installed Python... got it!

Hi folks, I'm trying to make Noesis script to import animation. I have achieved some success, but the animation still loaded not correctly. Maybe someone knows what's the problem?
(you need to put skeleton file [.pab] in animation folder)
Did you ever get anywhere with this? The animations work fine in Blender, but not in neosis. Can anyone who actually has some idea what they're looking at actually spot the difference here?
Blender py that works:
Code: Select all
def paaParser(filename,g):
action=Action()
action.BONESPACE=True
action.BONESORT=True
action.skeleton='armature'
g.word(4)
g.seek(16)
boneCount=g.H(1)[0]
g.H(4)
for m in range(boneCount):
g.logWrite('key'+str(m))
bone=ActionBone()
bone.name=str(g.i(1)[0])
c1=g.H(1)[0]
for n in range(c1):#scale key
g.H(4)
c2=g.H(1)[0]
for n in range(c2):#rotation key
bone.rotFrameList.append(g.H(1)[0]/33)
bone.rotKeyList.append(QuatMatrix(g.half(4)).resize4x4())
c3=g.H(1)[0]
for n in range(c3):#transaltion key
bone.posFrameList.append(g.H(1)[0]/33)
bone.posKeyList.append(VectorMatrix(g.half(3)))
action.boneList.append(bone)
action.draw()
action.setContext()
Neosis py that returns wrong results:
Code: Select all
bs.readBytes(4)
bs.seek(16, NOESEEK_ABS)
boneCount = bs.readUShort()
animationDuration = bs.readFloat()
NumFrames = int(animationDuration * 30.0)
bs.readBytes(4)
boneList = []
kfBones = []
timeList=[]
for m in range(0, boneCount1):
boneHash1 = bs.readUInt()
name = boneNames[m]
Parent = boneParentList[m]
RotKeys = []; TrnKeys = []
scaleKeyframeCount = bs.readUShort()
for n in range(0, scaleKeyframeCount):#scale key
scalekeyframe = bs.readUShort()//33
bs.readHalfFloat(); bs.readHalfFloat(); bs.readHalfFloat()
rotationKeyframeCount = bs.readUShort()
for n in range(0, rotationKeyframeCount):#rotation key
rotationkeyframe = bs.readUShort()//33
BoneQuat = NoeQuat( (bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat()) )
if Parent is not -1:
RotKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(rotationkeyframe, BoneQuat * BoneLocalRotList[Parent]))
else:
RotKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(rotationkeyframe, BoneQuat))
positionKeyframeCount = bs.readUShort()
for n in range(0, positionKeyframeCount):#transaltion key
positionkeyframe = bs.readUShort()//33
BonePosition = NoeVec3( (bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat()) )
if Parent is not -1:
TrnKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(positionkeyframe, BonePosition + BonePosList[Parent]))
else:
TrnKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(positionkeyframe, BonePosition + BonePosList[m]))
kfBone = NoeKeyFramedBone(m)
kfBone.setRotation(RotKeys, noesis.NOEKF_ROTATION_QUATERNION_4, noesis.NOEKF_INTERPOLATE_LINEAR)
kfBone.setTranslation(TrnKeys, noesis.NOEKF_TRANSLATION_VECTOR_3, noesis.NOEKF_INTERPOLATE_LINEAR)
kfBones.append(kfBone)
anims.append(NoeKeyFramedAnim("BlackDesert anim", animBones, kfBones, 1))
Not a big deal as blender works fine, but Neosis is a good bit more convenient. If one of you programming super geniuses know the fix without too much effort it would be greatly appreciated!

You might log the matrices in blender, then in Noesis and compare for differences. That's how I would do it if I had time.
btw: looks as if my earlier suggestion of using
shorts instead of
half floats was wrong:
.
goblin.png
well, from a comparison I guess it should be a
problem with the rotation values in the Noesis script because the translation values (starting from 71/0) look very similar in both scripts' log output (apart from the frames up to 70/103 which show a strange grizzling/whatever in blender, too).
Code: Select all

I wrote a structure definition file for Hex Workshop 6.7.0.5247 in helping to interpret the file format (be it PAA, PAB, or PAC)
Also worked on a Noesis script to port over the animation data, but running into the same issue with the quaternions. I wasn't able to get it to work even with the original script that was written for Blender 2.49b, so I'm guessing the data format changed?
