need help with DK2 models

[Rheini]

Since I do not like this game/model. It is hard for me to look deep into it.

Thanks for still looking into this mate

[Rheini]

any updates here?

[alariq]

texture coordinates can be extraced as follows:
x = (UV >>16)/float(1<<16);
y = (0x0000FFFF & UV)/float(1<<16);

X and Y could be swapped, i cannot check what is correct because do not have texture

[Rheini]

Unfortunately I can't provide you with texture samples cause they use an unknown compression: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2580

[alariq]

Yes i know, seems the only way to find out a compression algorithm is disassemble dkii.exe and trace it any considerations?

[Rheini]

Of course I already tried that, but it's hard to find the algorithm. Haven't had any luck yet.
Maybe I'll give it another try when I have my 2nd monitor (if I ever manage to buy a new one).

[alariq]

Can you tell me from what did you started? Some gudelines i also want to try, who knows

[Rheini]

Not sure, but since there is no magic ID, I probably set a breakpoint on CreateFile and ReadFile trying to get to the memory address where the texture data resides. Then I set a "breakpoint on access" on the data.
But IIRC it didn't break. Maybe they pass the compressed texture to the graphics pipeline.

[alariq]

aha same as i expected but you know if they pass it compressed to grafic pipeline this is even better this way we can find out texture format,

i'll try to see when i'll have some thime

btw, what debugger did you use?

[Rheini]

Good old OllyDbg
And sometimes I use IDA for disassembling, but I'm not very experienced in using this tool. Thus I only use basic functions, mainly the graphical view.

Hi,

I try to load .kmf model into .mesh ogre3d files. I successfully manage to read the vertices and normals seems fine, but I don't know where are the uvs.
Fatduck says it's in Vertex Data struct but I think these structure is for Normals and faces index as Rheini found.

Does someone knows how to read uvs?

Greetings,
