Motorcycle Club .PAC files

Post by REDZOEU »

I need help to extract these files, or at least load the motorcycle models into MAX or any other program (but i prefer MAX).
The game uses .PAC files entirely for model files, and .PAF for sound (maybe?)
Well, if someone is willing to help me, these are the files :

The ZIP includes both .PAF and .PAC files. Good luck to the ones who's willing to help :D

rename *.pac to *.7z for example and unpack the contained *.tmp file.

Used hex2obj (view link in my sig) to extract one submesh (of ten?):

Normals might be no normals (other than stated).
As you might know I always ignore them to keep things simple with hex2obj.
(If required let them to be autocalculated by blender for example.)

After your exams trying out the hex2obj tutorial sample should gonna going to be rather relaxing... :D

well, hex numbers, this could appear to be a "plot stopper" :cry:

Other than the decimal system with a base of ten there's 16 "numbers"
in the hexadecimal system: 0,..,9,A,B,C,D,E,F (with a preceeding 0x to indicate that we have a hexedecimal number).

But it's not too hard - you only should know how to convert between the two systems:
0x100 = 256 for example

(you could use windows' calculator.exe)

Last not least be informed that hex2obj is intended to be a helper tool
for a quick format reversing.
It's not a one-click-solution.

Once you know how to get a (sub) mesh it would make sense
to create a maxscript for importing models.
