That's what I was saying, that there are not any major resources for 360 mods, at least with this community. You'd have to try 360iso or something. Unless someone PM's you with some crazy resource, I wouldn't hold your breath.

***
I'm working on getting some DLC stuff prepped for testing. For some reason the startup_setting.exe does not seem to run, so I can't mess with any of the config settings. Anyone have any issues or insight into that?

***
I also got the coordinate snapper working, I just need to clean up the code and do an actual test. Should be able to have it up over the weekend.

Tmc files with textures now opens correctly, as for save, there seems to be some kind of limit either on subsection (TTDM) size or on whole size of character's tmc file. Model with ~5Mb of textures in tmc works fine, with ~6Mb game crashes. There is an idea to convert such models (for using only tmcl textures).

I caught that quite late, but this means that entire texture limit for a single TMC is 5MB? That's quite poor lol.
This throws high res retextures out of the window basically.

Also i have another question about DLC tool.
I've been tinkering about face/hair options. Indexes from 0-9 work fine, but after that the DLC tool only accepts inputs like 23, 34, 45 and so on.
I don't quite get the logic behind this index and i'm just trying blindly, also using indexes above 100 will load actual head meshes for hair.

Ok, as promised: MeshWarp. It's still a bit hands on and requires ripping the verts from 360 & PC containers manually for each group, but it does work stand alone. I've tested it with a model having multiple mesh objects adjusted even of different buffer length. I included a read me this time. Use the int value of the vertex buffer & divide by 4, for the buffer length values.

It looks like buffer lengths have been changed differently based on the vertex group. I still haven't worked on a 32 yet, but 28,40,44's all have different buffer lengths.

360(int)/360(hex) -> PC(int)/PC(hex)

28/1C -> 36/24
40/28 -> 60/3C
44/2C -> 64/40

Edit: Resolved DLC Tool / BLP Issues, was missing PC updates.

Thanks, sounds useful.
How do I run it exactly? I tried with python but it doesn't work, same with noesis.



As for chara_common, I have no problem opening it with archivarius 1.8.

open it in IDLE python GUI

Pro,
Think you're referring to the second to last post. viewtopic.php?p=104985#p104985
It says it requires cracked .ini

While working on some stuff a few questions popped up about the utils. Hopefully someone can point me in the direction.

Archivarius PC
1) chara_common did not want to open... anything... Am I missing an update?
2) Tropical DLC blp did not extract one of the TMC's correctly. Nyotengu White Swimsuit

BLP Converter
1) Does not read Tropical DLC blp, is there any update needed for it to read PC files?
can this convert pc to 360 as well.

Yep, LSC explained how to use the actual file. If you mean how to get the data though, that's a bit more involved with finding vertices in hex and saving them into text files. Feel free to ask specifics if your still learning that.

Thanks, looked like I missed that one too. :-P I thought I had one more recent than that, but looks like its working. Does the swapping work with the core stuff, or is it still an issue with the game.exe that causes the game to crash?

No, isn't much advantage right now without having without the ability to edit PC vertices. If that means happens, it might be easy to adjust it to do so later.

I don't think there are any new importers yet. marios unpacker/repacker is within the last 10 pages, I think.
