[PS2] Jak 3 & Jak X: Combat Racing VAGWAD extractor

While extracting Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy and Jak II: Renegade VAGWAD audio is fairly trivial, Jak 3 and Jak X: Combat Racing has custom compressed file table entries, and I couldn't find any other tool at the time of writing this that fully supported it. Below is a command line Python...

Re: The Simpsons Game PS3 - txd files

(Sorry for the 3 year bump) [...] i wasn't 100% sure about type 0x2 but i only saw one of those in all your samples. :] I've seen texture format 0x2 in other RenderWare games, and depending on how it's stored, it can either have an accompanying palette with an 8-bit bitmap where the palette is store...

Re: [Noesis Help] Splitting one massive mesh into submeshes (Bully: Anniversary Edition)

Now looking at Joschka's script closer when I'm home, I can clearly see where I made the one mistake that prevented the whole thing from working :P I was multiplying the submesh faces amount by two originally which, well, means Noesis is expecting twice as many and failing! Fixed up a few other thin...

Re: [Noesis Help] Splitting one massive mesh into submeshes (Bully: Anniversary Edition)

Those "submeshes" of yours are the smoothing groups I believe 2. Splitting by texture usage is not the rght way - what if one of those separated meshies is using more than 1 texture? You will end up with hundreds of small fragments. No, the amount of groups in the many meshes I tested mat...

[Noesis Help] Splitting one massive mesh into submeshes (Bully: Anniversary Edition)

Hey there, I'm writing a Noesis texture + model plugin for Bully: Anniversary Edition, and I've encountered into a problem - most of the models in this game are one single massive mesh, and at the footer of each of those meshes is a list of where to divide the faces (e.g. from 0 apply to 2052 faces,...

Re: Conflict/The Great Escape .sch files

While I already answered with this on the Discord server, I'll post here just in case as well. The problem here seems to just be the presence of IMUS and PFST sections. I made a QuickBMS script to strip those and only keep BANK/PFSM sections, which then works just fine with vgmstream. https://raw.gi...

Re: The Sims 2 PS2 3D Models

Ah, I think I've finally figured it out :D (A bit broken still, but the general outline is clear, which I think I can probably solve that too) Seems like I was just looking at the wrong places before. Thank you shakotay for making hex2obj

Re: The Sims 2 PS2 3D Models

Still not sure if I'm even on the right track, but I tried putting the whole file (unlock_lot v2 in this case) and seeing if I can find any sensible coordinates that aren't wildly all over the place, the few I did don't seem to be the right ones (or maybe they are?), so eh... Is my general line of t...

Re: The Sims 2 PS2 3D Models

I think I've got the face indices set right, where? how? Alright, maybe I spoke too soon, I probably don't. Anyway, from what I understood, the face indices would have some form of vague pattern of kinda incrementing values separated with a 00 on either side, though (currently on unlock_lot v1), th...

Re: The Sims 2 PS2 3D Models

what do those tuts tell about getting the face indices? Autocreation of faces is not recommended here (or it's just a matter of choosing the correct starting points for submeshes) I think I've got the face indices set right, though the other two steps kinda just confuse me, though maybe I'm just ba...

The Sims 2 PS2 3D Models

I've been working on a project related to The Sims 2 for the PS2 for quite some time. Most of the stuff doing work with textures and sound and similar to that is already out of the way, all that's left are the 3D models that just baffle me. Either I am dumb/too tired or awful at reading and couldn't...
