el matador

[Tosyk]

Recently I got into el matador files and wanted to play with models. Can anyone check the files? Here's some samples:

weird format, the vertices look like x 02 y 02 z 02, FVF size is 55 for civil_woman.mdl_bin;
in the upper left corner it looks like the shape of the head:

thanks for your attention! is there any chance to compile this info into noesis script or something? ripper can't rip this game in t-pose unfortunately.

I don't see a reason why not. For python script u just need to skip one byte each after reading the x, y, z components of a vertex as floats. The problem is to find the suiting face indices.

well, when I spoke about python, I obviously meant blender python, because Noesis uses rapi.rpgBindPositionBufferOfs()
for example which needs a continuous vertex buffer and I don't have a clue how to provide it by easy means when there's a byte (02) inserted after each float.

But you could modify the maxscript sample I uploaded for L.A. Noir, using readFloat for the vertices and
fSeek stream (1) #seek_cur
to skip the annoying 02 byte.

Hi
Here is blend file for import models and animations.
It requires to install Blender version 249b (32 bit) and Python 2.6.6.(32 bit).
Doubleclick file "Blender249.blend" and in Text Window press alt+p to run script.
Select file with *.mdl_bin to import model and for animation select file with *.anim_bin.

Szkaradek123, most part of models, expecially static from "missions' models folder, not loading with:

"TypeError: range<> integer and argument expected, got NoneType", or "got str".

Szkaradek123, can you still look into static models?
