I allready told you a few posts back..

Ok. I'm start localization.
and I understand it correctly
you give it the tools when your translation is finish, right?

Yes i will.. Might someone make some other loc tools sooner, you never know But you have all text allready. I can guarante this is all text in game + DLC include MUL file Cines..

Greatest news ever! Thank you! Then we will began translation and I am looking forward for you tools!
To what language you are translating the game? My language is so different from English so i definitely need to completely edit/change the game fonts, do you have a solution for that too?

Im replacing Polish Lang. I suggest do the same think.

I'm a one questions mate,

MUL_Cine_EN.txt and Cine_EN.txt
There are the same lines
which translations?

Hey! I made a video showcasing the problem I have. Is that because of the DRM extractor? Is it because of the method I use to extract the mul files? Is it because of the tigger unpacker I don't know.

Does anybody know how textures are referenced in material files and materials in mesh files respectively?

I extracted the asset names from the .tr2pcd files, hashed them and brute forced the material files for values containing the hashed
name. Unfortunately it didn't yield any match.

For example:

Code: Select all

// Repeat for every texture asset name.
hash = HashName("assets\textures\environment\manmade\rh_hub_uniq_wood_pile_v01")
ScanFiles(hash)

I also tried various asset name combinations like prepending "pcx64-w\" or appending ".tr2pcd", ".pcd", ".dds", ...
Does anybody have an idea?

By the way, I use the hash algorithm from http://svn.gib.me/public/crystaldynamics/trunk/ is it still valid?

This is pointless, I'll save you the trouble and explain why.

1. Each DRM section has it's own unique hash name which is a unsigned 16-bit integer. Ekey's unpacker does not extract the sections with their hash names.
2. Each meshInfo[] contains a 32-bit integer which is an index into the material list (stored else where in the mesh file). The material list is just an array of 16-bit hash names which match the material hash section it uses.
3. At the end of the material files you should see a struct array sized 0x10. These are the texture definitions, each array starts with a 16-bit hash identical to the corresponding texture section it is referring to.
4. It is almost impossible to implement auto-texturing. The materials specify all textures it utilises. Within the material file there is no flag which determines whether a texture definition is diffuse, normal, mask or specular textures. This is controlled directly by the shaders which are compiled so it's pretty much impossible. I have confirmed this information for Tomb Raider Underworld by modifying the material file itself. Modifying the other data stored in the texture definition struct does nothing in regards to what texture is diffuse etc. Replacing the shader proved that my initial concerns are correct. This may have changed since Tomb Raider: Underworld but it's highly unlikely.

You can take a look at my Tomb Raider: Underworld Noesis script which does load material files and partially auto texture the meshes but it's not accurate all the time.

I don't understand what you mean. All that material info has been known for some time now.

If you are suggesting that type 0x1 is the correct texture for diffuse maps then you are wrong. There are several material files with multiple texture definitions with type 0x1. Either way, this is all controlled by the shaders, any other work around is nothing more than a hack and will never be stable/accurate enough. Looking into the materials is a waste of time.

to Gh0stBlade
Lara for example is in the mud, and sometimes came out of the water. Both of these files have one type = 1. File selection goes according to the game script . These files also has type 1,(128,138,ff) but their purpose I don't know yet. For the model they are not needed.
I tried your plugins, they just use the indexes of the graphics. Therefore concluded that before the end of you in this matter is not sorted out.

[T0M099]

Does someone know how Lara's new hair - Pure Hair are stored ?

I know that they aren't made by polygons, probably they are curves/splines.

Also, would be possible to extract them ? Thanks for help.

I have no idea, if you do find them let me know!

Edit: lara_hair_all.drm It's most likely stored in Section 1.dtp custom mesh format it seems.

[T0M099]

Thank you Gh0stBlade, maybe another silly question, but I'm curious if whole level/scene could be exported (e.g. main menu scene) ?

Depends, scenes are just composed of terrain meshes and tons of statics. The only way to do that would be to load the data which states what parts of the scene/statics are needed and where they go. I have no idea where that's stored, I'm betting it's part of the DTPData and the format for that section type is completely unknown/inconsistent.

Maybe this tool will aid you, texture replacer for Directx11 games, it will be updated this week so keep an eye on it.
