Any help would be great!

[melechdude]

so is there any news with this?

or did it die...

[reappper]

so whats the news about the project?

I mean can we now mod the force unleashed?

I really would love the models from tfu....

I hope its not dead any body?

[revelation]

Things are not dead, i just haven't had time to look into the conversion to max script yet. Reading the format is not an issue as like i said, i listed how everything works above. just that i don't normally need art import support, so i don't currently have a code path in place that allows it to be done. Once i get some time i will look into what i can do in that regard.

Hi All,

Just thought I'd post my findings so far. I'm interested in the animation data format which seem to be held in the .animations files. No surprise there

I wrote a some code over the weekend to try and extract the key data, but can't quite get there.

I got the data from http://www.zshare.net/download/6802877050e22834/ and once I decompressed the lp file with quickbms I found the animations in Scum\animation\characters\PCDX\MaleAverage\Player\navigation.

I think I've managed to get the overall structure right, but I've not managed to extract any keyframe data for translations or rotations.

I hope some finds this useful and can help me get the key data.

[Noob disclaimer - I've never tried this before and I'm guessing about the entire format so best not to assume I've got anything correct ]

Hello to all!

This is my first post on these forums and I actually joined the XeNTaX community to ask for help by making a request.

What I need help with is as this topic's title suggests, extracting a specific file from the game's archives. What I am looking for is the "Cybernetic Reconstruction" 3D model and it's textures.

I am not very knowledgeable about these reverse-engineering/HEX tweaking operations so it's nearly impossible for me to do this by myself...

So here I am, unsure that I'm even posting my request in the right place, asking someone to extract 2 files that I'll be able to open in a modeling program.

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers

Any chance for the sounds?
I found some sounds like tem_jeditemple_b.st.nv.pcp are RAW PCM (so maybe game can works with uncompressed audios), but normally the files are like "crypted" o compressed, looks the same header in a lot of files.
The compression ratio in Winrar it's 60-65% (not too bad) this indicates is not a dpcm (maybe i'm wrong in this) or mp3..(but who knows) can be a xma?

I tried to follow some hints from here http://hcs64.com/mboard/forum.php?showt ... 8&lastpage
But i failed..

[reappper]

so hey has any one got some of the models out of the force unleashed or at least one a program that can?

[Zerovisibilite]

Ok, So I'm Brand spanking new here(as a registered user). I have taken some of the development that has been done here and moved forward with it. Using VB i was able to make an automated model extractor for this. It is still in the raw stage, but should be cleaned up enough to post a link in a short while.

[Zerovisibilite]

Ok, Her is the automated ripper. I used the BMS script above to get the GTO files then this program to ripp them into .obj. There are 2 radio buttons to select which bone weight to use 3 or 5. I have found that 3 works for most and for those that dont the 5 will work. It prompts for an export folder on first run, then never again unless you click change export folder.

Use the dds files that are ripped with the bms script above to skin the models when done.

Hope you enjoy

No credit necessary as all i did was take the maxscript(by the way is brilliant on how the face points are handled,Still having a wonder on why it works that way but, hey it works) and code it in vb and automate the front end. So if you thank anyone thank the above that paved the way

You talking about weight data, but .obj format do not support bones. So how can i convert models with bones from .gto to my 3ds max?

[Zerovisibilite]

The boneweight in the App is for placement of the typedata I used. It will not export bone weight or bones for that matter. Until I (or someone else) spends some time on the bone and animation stuff, t is what it is. Sorry

oh, it's to bad. But any way your tool it's great progress. I'll be waiting for support weight data and bones in your tool. Thank you

[Zerovisibilite]

Here is the latest Ripper. It auto finds the number of "Weights" for each verts segment. Exports as one obj, however I cant figure out the Material assignments so that is still manual. IE the .mtl file is bogus and just a place holder. I am looking at a different format to export to that will make the bones easier to attach but haven't had much time to play with it.
