got it. manual debug right now. the whole thing should be done using the adr files and all files dumped in a single folder to be able to load all files directly. i only got the bone relationships sorta figured. there're possibly a bone_id -1 (FFFF) and a parent_id -1 (FFFF) too, potentially unparent...

ugh. ehh... how do i get noesis to see the skelly file? i tried the local and absolute path, but it doesn't work, damnit. if (rapi.checkFileExists(str("D:\starwars\models\cwa_xtr_wip\ahsokaV2\Char_HumanFemaleBody.dsk"))): print("skelly found") sk = rapi.loadIntoByteArray(str(&quo...

those _mm look like merged rgb channels. it usually contains roughness and metalness and wtf all in one texture, just in the r, g and b channels. all good. the 'not to' do texture contains a normal map and some other stuff in the blue channel. the nottodothat stuff is the texture compression with mu...

same format. and looking at the steam demo data the models and textures might be in the atlas or zoe2 .dat files. still downloading. will mess with it later. well now. demo been played. ran pretty nice on my craptop. barely any cpu utilisation. had to play in 720p tho. my gpu got no fillrate with bs...

this url is compressed at the end of the file for some reason. https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/602143-texture-atlas-seam-issue/ that 'some reason' is developing the port. i know how bad the rendering code runs on emulators or the ps2 emulator out there. i'm sure they had to optimize a good por...

looks complicated. it's not packed but 'encoded' or 'encrypted'. this archive seems to contain only shader files and lots of text in it.

maybe noesis doesn't support the astc compression in dds files. this enum on this website is not official from microsoft either. i think i heard that astc was added to dx11 or dx12 but their specs and docs are lacking a lot of updates. sure i'm certain you could move the block data into another file...

is that question about modelling? is the map an entire mesh or multiple meshes. i mean basicly you can boil it down to editing the mesh, deleting geometry until only the parts that you want are left.

ugh. this animal code stuff again? i converted one of those already. i don't wanna do another tho. it's exhausting. this script needs an entire rewrite and further snooping, again. the author of this stuff is a damn moron. it doesn't work and it's not readable to improve it.

This style of palettes can't be merged in any windows style file format. Switchable palette? Nope. What you wanna do with those anyway? This display is entirely correct. I mean p00 is just a vga and 09 and 10 seem unused or broken. It's all good.

If you haven't noticed this, the samples on the old thread are not available anymore. We'd need something to try to work with tho.

multi chunk files, and they seem to compressed. no offset matches, no nothing. GNF header is 0x110 (0x112) bytes. some file size info at 0x0C, decompressed size seems to be at 0x104, format could be at 0x108, number of surfaces at 0x10A. no resolution info anywhere to be found tho. data start signat...

DXT5. And needs texture ordering. Is it Switch(ed)? I have no idea which order this brick uses. Google attempt lead me there . I recoded this "thing", but it seems to not want to work. It does a nice pattern, but it's a nope. It seems seriously wrong for plain block re-ordering anyway. i t...

This is a format error. You changed something in the header files? Or what tool you use to display those? Noesis displays them correct. I only get this error when i change the format at offset 0x80 from 0x54 to 0x53. signed and unsigned encode. This may be a decoder error in your texture viewer? Als...

neat info. i shoulda looked that up on microsoft github, not the webpage. it's a pixelformat flag. my standard picture viewer doesn't decode it. gimp and visual studio does tho. nice picture.
