If you have the limited edition, we need to see some sample files. What files are in the game's root directory? CPK? If so, it's the same and you must use HCS's CPKEXTRACT tool to extract the ISM2 files. Also, for a PS3, you must know how to dump and unencrypt PS3 files. Check psx-scene for more info. There are also less honorable options if desperate. Figure it out.

I've tried to do this, and I even have a computer that allows BDs to be ripped/extracted. I've tried a ton of PS3 extract tools already, but it just doesn't want to work. I've basically become desperate, because I've gone through so much already to extract the models, but nothing's worked so far. I've even requested that people rip them for me, but to no avail.

I know I saw your post on the tr forum. What version of the game do you have. It is not possible for them to haved locked it due to my extractor. I think the limited release was already out. Need screen capture of what's in your ps3game directory where all the files are.

I also think aluigi has an updated script to handle large cpk files.

I'll try this script before going any further. I'm truly desperate to get these models. ;_; Especially Uni, Neptune, Black sister, and Purple Sister.

Apologies for the two-month bump, but I do feel there are a few things that should be looked into.

1. In the "Chara" folder -- 022, 023, 027, 032, 052, 057, 087, 088 and 159 don't convert with the latest program (but do with the older one), and give the following error:

Code: Select all

Parent bone not found.
An error occurred while reading the file.

Those are the only things (other than the maps, which I haven't tested yet) that don't export using the script.

2. Is it just me, or do the bones with no rigging applied to them make the rigging screwed up in Layout (and when exporting them to an FBX file)? Manually removing the unrigged bones from the *_bones.ls file seems to fix that problem, which is quite unusual.

3. The "brow_00", "eyelid_00", "mouth_00" and "pupil_00" textures are really, really screwy. Any way to get them to show up properly? Best I've been able to get is something like this:

Yes,some of the textures are screwy. I never was able to figure out why but I've been meaning to go back and redo all of the games I've ripped. This was like the second game I ripped and it's not as complete as I want it to be. My new ripper now exports directly to lwo for which I am testing it with onechanbara. I am far from home and only have access to blender on a laptop that only supports opengl 1.2 so I can't look into the problems at least until saturday.

((This post had a link to a texture file from the game, but it got trimmed.))

Is there any chance of converting the other .tid images (like the character sprites used in the status menu)?

They seem to be just 32-bit RGBA images, which you can view (with the right settings) in a program such as TiledGGD.

You're right. Thanks a bunch!

This was NOT fun to repair.

Before:

After:

Neptune's pupil textures, unscrambled... without its alpha channel because of the way I did so (manually in Paint Shop Pro 7, took me a good two hours). Now I just need a way to both explain how it's done, and find a program or whatever to unscramble those bloody textures because I really don't want to waste my time doing so manually...

(EDIT: Oh, god. I just realized how the textures are stored... Heavy Weapons Guy was right -- it is just stacking! Basically, stack the image as 2x2 tiles, then 4x4 tiles, then 8x8, then 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256 and finally 512x512! Now how would I go about converting that easily...?)

(EDIT 2: So, yeah. The bytes need to be converted from this:

in order for those textures to be proper, with one "byte" referencing to a pixel (4 bytes -- ARGB).)

(EDIT 3: And here's the same texture I showed earlier, now with 100% less jumble.)

wow that is one fucked up texture format lol. i am currently working on the USA version of this game now. there are a few more texture formats in this game than in the JAP version. these messed up ones are of type 0x54494487. i'll see what i can do.

Fancy that.

awesome. thanks. i will add that to my library... a fixed version of my texture extractor ought to be ready in a bit... man, why do they do fucked up shit like that lol?
