These missing parts are the ones (arms, hands) which carry a weapon, and they are stored in a separate file.ReeceMix wrote:I can rip most of the EMD's but some have bodyparts missing, I can even alter the TIM and texture them in blender.
Yep it's like the EMD file is a kind of raw format, and the game engine must know where to pick what it needs.because the EMDs are all different they all have different amounts of TIM texture pages, and probabally located in different places within the EMD so at the moment I think the Importer struggles with picking out all of the meshes
Unfortunately, if I don't know the size of the texture, the UV coordinates for each vertex can not be calculated (they must be converted from width,height image space to 1.0,1.0 normalized space). And more than mesh data, there is also the link between them (bones), needed to display a complete body with parts being correctly placed relative to each other. I found it, but I did not found a correct tutorial to make the importer build it for Blender.Its cool that they have texture support, but if the importer could just extract all the mesh data and not worry about the TIM texture file that would still be very useful for me.
For an exporter, the whole format must be well know and understood, to create a correct file, or the game will surely crash when loading it.And secondly, could the process be reversed and have a EMD Exporter, that way people could mod resident evil 2. (personally I just want the models extracted)
Well, I don't know about RE1 files, but RE3 ones seem to be very similar to RE2. As said in the mail I sent you, I'm busy atm.Are there any plans to include Resident Evil 1 & 3 in the importer? (I havent used the TMD importer, but I know for RE1 the EMD Headers just need changing to a TMD header to be opened in milkshape, surely it wouldnt be too difficult to have the importer recognise a RE1 EMD alter the header upon import)
This isnt true for every EMD , when I open the Ada wong EMD she is just a torso with no legs, head or arms, the rest of her must be within the EMDPmData wrote:These missing parts are the ones (arms, hands) which carry a weapon, and they are stored in a separate file.
Im not sure what your saying here, Ive opened RE2 EMDs with the Importer and extracted the TIM image into BMP with Yu_Ri, I rotated that image 180* and added the UV to the ModelPmData wrote:Unfortunately, if I don't know the size of the texture, the UV coordinates for each vertex can not be calculated (they must be converted from width,height image space to 1.0,1.0 normalized space).

What I said is that in EMD file, you have x,y position in the TIM image (so x goes from 0 to width, y goes from 0 to height of image). And u,v texture coordinates of the mesh vertices must be in the range 0.0-1.0 instead. So you calculate u=x/width and v=y/height, it means you need the size of the image, to have correct coordinates.Im not sure what your saying here, Ive opened RE2 EMDs with the Importer and extracted the TIM image into BMP with Yu_Ri, I rotated that image 180* and added the UV to the ModelPmData wrote:Unfortunately, if I don't know the size of the texture, the UV coordinates for each vertex can not be calculated (they must be converted from width,height image space to 1.0,1.0 normalized space).

The Importer Keeps the UV texture location, Yu_Ri (Rips TIMs from any files with TIM inside) ripped the UV and I combined them.
It works great. I was suggesting that the importer ignored the TIM reference and just focused on picking out the meshes (but keeping the uv coords is a good thing).
For TMD files, you must use the TMD import script. For PLD files, the EMD script won't work as is, because the PLD files have less sections than EMD files, but the sections contain same data, so modifying the EMD script for PLD import should be easy.Goomba wrote:I decided to try the plug-in again and it worked for the Resident Evil 2 PC version. But I do not know how to get Blender to import the RE2 PSX version? Do I use the .emd python script or the .tmd script? I assume the .PLD format is the same as .EMD?
. Ok, I did it 'quick and dirty way'. I took the EMD import script, remove texture image loading, modified to get the proper sections, and it works, for both PLD and PLW files. PLD seem to contain body parts of the player (when it get hurt I think), and PLW contain the hand+weapon. A different PLW file for each weapon. It's on my site now. Note: there are some errors at the end of import, just click on error message, and the model should be displayed. Will have to deal with that later.Goomba wrote:I read that PLD has 4 sections and #3 is the same as section #7 in the Emd file. But I do not know how to rewrite it, I am a intermediate C programmer, so SOmeone Please rewrite the Python script for ME!!!
