Ride (by Milestone) .BIN format

Post by RiccoChicco »

Hello,

As requested by some others members in another topic, any help to get a script to import .BIN 3D file format from Ride would be awesome.

This game has a huge content, including more than 100 bikes (Yamaha, Ducati, Honda and more).

For example, here's a Bimota Tesi 3D render, just to show you how beautiful are thoses bikes :

Image

Here's the complete game folder of a bike, including the .BIN, shaders and textures (in PICTURES folder).

To be honest, just having the 3D without textures autmatically applied is perfect for me.

I really hope someone can help :)

yeah, is very likely to become my next Make_H2O project!

whoops. What a tedious task:

And that's the wheels only, different types, lods, whatever.

Whahoo! :eek:

I was a bit worried because in this gme vehicles can be customised (wheels, exhaust, mirror and some other little things).

I'm a complete noob in reverse engeneering 3D models but if any help is needed feel free to ask :)

Anyway, thanks a lot for taking time for this game :keke:

The BML file called BIKE001_GC seems to talk about rims. Not sure if it helps though.

EDIT : Maybe got an idea that could be easier :

Maybe we could extract the bike itself (without wheels) and extract all customisable parts somewhere else. Then, if someone want a specific bike he extract it and add the customised parts manually in his 3D scene.

to extract all the parts is the problem atm: the ones left from the black line are crappy and a whole bunch seems to be missing:

made some progress:

Attached some H2O files. You'll need hex2obj_023e.exe to create obj files from them.
(Archive hex2obj_0.22.zip required, too).

Load Bike001.bin into hex2obj then one of the H2O files. Press the 'mesh' button.
BIKE001.BIN_H2O.zip

Hi!

I really don't want to bother you, but is there any news? :)

It's a whole bunch of H2O files (246 atm) I'm stepping through from time to time
because there's still some point clouds I don't have the suiting face indices blocks for:
Bike_pointClouds_.JPG
Those H2O files generate 800 MB of data. That's a little bit unhandy.
I could recalculate the face indices from absolute to relative ones to get rid of redundant data
but understanding the hierarchy has higher priority.

edit: the news is: found a tire

Thanks for you answer, really appreciated! Really interesting and very impressive.

About your point clouds, they really look like front lights and mirrors of the bike.

Thanks again for you help :)

good news: for some unknown reason :D it imports the accessories at the correct positions.
Wouldn't have expected this. Great.

A new version of hex2obj was required to handle absolute/relative face indices.

Maybe I can upload it together with a set of H2O files for the accessories next week (for one bike only).

finally - (well, not really but I think that's all what I want to do):
--------------

To get hex2obj working you'll need

1) the zipped version 0.22 and
2) hex2obj_0.23g.exe

from Xentax: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=10894

Extract the first zip to a folder of your choice. Then copy hex2obj_0.23g.exe into it.

--------------------

There are 247 H2O files of which each can used by hex2obj to create a bike's submesh.

If you decide to use hex2obj's multimesh feature on ALL H2Os at once
be sure to have the RelFI checkBox checked (view pic below) else about 800 MB of obj data will be created!

YOU have been WARNED!

With the RelFI checkbox checked there will be 20 MB only.

Naming of the submeshes by numbers only is a little bit poor, admitted.
To give you some overview I've sorted the H2O files into subfolders.

Load the BIKE001.BIN (8.7 MB, not included) into hex2obj_0.23g then select any H2O file in
the example_bike subfolder (view attachment).

Then choose File "SaveAs Mmesh".
Some obj files will be created in the folder where the *.bin file resides.

Use the load_multi_obj_blender2.69.py python script
to get the obj files loaded into blender.

Code: Select all

When executing load_multi_obj_blender2.69.py in a blender Text Editor window with alt-p
make sure to have set "path_to_obj_dir" to YOUR *.bin/*.obj directory.

Just replace ('O:\\', 'Eigene Dateien\\Downloads\\Samples\\Ride')

Alt-p should import the obj files in that folder into blender.

(Make sure that there's no obj contained in a maybe existing subfolder.)

(numbering in the outliner window of blender 2.49 is a little bit weird; 
in blender 2.69 you can be sure that BIKE001_128 represents BIKE001_128.obj)

(There are 8 objx files with a vertex count of 0. They are created for debugging purposes only.)

Numbering of H2O and obj files is async. First line in each obj file reveals its H2O "source".

Some H2O files may contain an incorrect vertex start address. Feel free to fix this.
