Initial D Arcade Stage (5 to Zero) Noesis Script

[GreenTrafficLight]

Updated here

I know I've made a thread for this, but since I think a lot of people are following this one, I'm posting this here.

I wrote a Blender Addons 2.8+ (tested in Blender 2.92.0) to import the models. More details here.



The characters are all skinned now, except one which is Miki (since he has 4 bone weights, and the bone indices isn't in the right order in the vertex buffer).

Miki sample (one vertex buffer at offset 0xC64A8, stride 40, last 8 bytes being the bone indices and bone weights)

In order to import the trees, you will need the folder path with the extension .pa8. Also I don't think the trees in the game have random rotations, but there is some informations in the .pa8 that I skipped (It might not be important though). The file format is like this :

Code: Select all

char	Header[4]
int 	Unknown
uint	FileSize
uint	TransformationCount
bytes	zeros[16]

for i = 0 < TransformationCount
	float	Translation[3]
	float	MeshIndex  // the float is always a int, except in Gunsai sometimes
	byte	Unknown[28] // Maybe rotations ?
	float 	Scale

I'm posting pa8 samples just in case : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bhCx-O ... sp=sharing

Also, I admit I'm lazy to set up everything to play the Zero version, but I will be glad if someone could picture a high quality picture of this corner in Gunsai since the index for one of the tree isn't precise, so I don't know if I'm importing the right one.



(Unrelated, but I can't believe I've been interested in this format for since 2018)

Hello
I tried opening just a random file, "title.efo" int he ADVERTISE folder
Edit: lot of efo files from folders like PRIMITIVE, RENDERER and SPRITEBG also don't open. I'm not having a lot of luck...I tried to open some 3d meshes such as "balloon.efo" and it just throws an errorr saying bad size or bad read
Edit2: Sayuki from CHARACTER folder crashes

You may have to continue some basic research which had been started here:

or here:

helper tool (unfinished) for getting params

----------------------------

When using the script on JZA80C_Body_genuine_00.efo I had to export as .dae from Noesis (while .obj contained QNANS).

(dae import, uvs missing or lost, whatever)
