Lost Planet 2 - arc extract to .mod and .tex

[dragbody]

Hello everyone.

I've done a fair amount of searching for a way to utilize the models and textures from Lost Planet 2, but the other threads on this site were dead and I've been unable to find useful info elsewhere on the web.

What I can tell you is that Noesis can export mod and tex files from the arc files with no problem. For Lost Planet 1, it could view and export these files too. However, the Lost Planet 2 versions cannot be previewed or recognized.

Here are two arc files and their unpacked contents: *SNIP*

I just yesterday installed the game and had no idea how very nice the models actually are. It's like killzone I also wonder what magic stuff is in those archives

[dragbody]

I agree. I don't want to bump my own thread so I was just letting this drop off without notice (sadly). I don't imagine it would be that difficult for one of the talented individuals here to figure out. I'd be glad to upload many more of the mod and tex files if someone were willing to take a crack at them.

it's a dx9 and dx11 game so I guess you can rip with 3d ripper but you will not get bones etc. I am just starting to learn 3d model reversing and it is really hard for a fellow like me

[dragbody]

I've tried but I can't get 3dRipper to work with the program. If anyone else has had success, I hope they will share the settings they used.

Anybody have any luck with this? I've tried several tools but none of them worked with Lost Planet 2's particular format.

What tools have you tried?
And do they have source?

[Tribalizer]

Most of the tools I used came from this forum (http://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evi ... owforum=35) Even though they use the same file formats there is something different with the Lost Planet 2 versions that the tools can't work with.

did you try noesis

just post in the noesis thread with the samples i think he already added support for lost planet 2 but they are the 360 files.
it should take him no time at all to update it for the pc files.

[dragbody]

I just posted a request in that thread. Thanks guys.

Hi everyone. I'm sorry to bump this old thread of mine, but I figured it's worth asking one more time (and since Mr. Adults said he does not plan to support any new games with Noesis). I removed the link in the OP due to the new rules so if you need more information, please PM me.

The Lost Planet 2 files can be easily extracted into files of the same format as the original Lost Planet (.mod and .tex). However, Noesis cannot read them. I imagine writing a plugin for Noesis to work with these files wouldn't be too difficult for someone with knowledge of these things.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I agree with others, Noesis support for LP2 .mod and .tex would be great... A little something from LP1

Here is a quickbms script I made to convert the .mod files (seem to have no extension but named like om8254) from lost planet 2: run it for example as (the w in -w must be lowercase):

Code: Select all

C:\quickbms\quickbms.exe -w C:\quickbms\script.bms C:\quickbms\om8254 C:\quickbms\

When it asks you 3 times to open another file just make up names of non existing files

Code: Select all
