hello everybody. I had to dig really deep in some backup hdd. I attach to this post all the resources I found. GR2DecMax7 is a compiled version of the 3dsmax import plugin for 3dsMax 7. That's what I ended up using most of the time. https://www.mediafire.com/?dbn8jja6fyex8c2 https://www.mediafire.co...

this community inspired me creating the GR2 importer:
There's page with a list of the games tested.

I suspected that the problem laid in the dll version and I was right. The 2.7 dll can import and convert those new files. I had to change both the gr2 converter and the max plugin because they changed the format a bit. I'm still working on this, next week it should be ready. http://img360.imageshack...

No, about the Caesar model I don't see any handy solution for the next future. I said it was the raw format. I was wrong, it's kind of a new format compression (from granny 2.7.0): form oodle0 to oodle1, they say in the granny site, does anybody know what does it mean? and if there's some tool for t...

Thanks for your discover, but it's a shame: Cesar IV models use the granny RAW format, which we are not able to open (though the grannyviewer can). The asian dinasty models use a format for vertex strucy really unusual, in fact even the grannyviewer is not able to display them correctly. I don't thi...

Ok, good. :) So, if I correctly understood, using the cavalery models the hacked grnreader worked just fine but the Asian Dinasty expansion crashes the app. I could look at your new files. About the expotron plugin. I really don't know how it could work with your game. The plugin is plenty of option...

Nirvana Jung, I really want to help you, but I'm not a magician. Really, I don't know what's going on in your computer :D So you just have to provide more information. The screen you sent just tells me that the program has crashed but not why. So as I said: Could you please import the cavalery model...

:D Have you read carefully the docs? Milkshape imports SMD files. the .ms file it's just for backup in case of failure of the SMD format. Have you first imported the gr2 in 3dsMax? Do the importer generated the two gr2.smd and gr2.dat files? Are they in the same directory of your gr2 file? Try to be...

I attached to this post a version of the grnreader that correctly exports the model files you sent me. In the vertex struct there's another parameter: granny_real32 Tangent[3]; I'm not completely satisfied by this hack because it won't export the standard gr2 format. Probably it should work on the S...

The Download link of the Gr2 Mesh Converter was broken, now has been fixed. I also added the SMD tools you could need. Check out the


Added a new game to the games list: Catz II by Ubisoft. Thanks Topper Carson for the info!

really, anyone?

Thanks to the useful infos and tools provided by F. Fischer (aka SiENcE), I wrote a little tutorial to import .grn Granny1 files using the gr2 tools


Confirmed support for the game SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month by Awe Productions (.grn format).

Confirmed support for Dungeon Lords by Heuristic Park, distrubuted by dreamcatcher. Screens and infos in the Credits Jwatson.

ok, that's a noobish question, I know. I think I have figured out how every gr2 file start so I suppose I have all the data to iterate through the archive and extract the files. every .gr2 file starts with this hex: B867 B0CA F86D B10F 8472 Well :oops: do you know if there's some c++ example that I ...
