Ok, if you can't find it, nevermind. That is a texture of a person's helmet, btw.
Just most part of textures in very small resolution. Besides checking UVW's of models, it dont need in principle. Because in PC Far Cry 1 game are used the same textures in original, biggest, resolutions, so the conclusion suggests itself :wink:

Textures with DXT 3\DXT 5 compression. TextureFinder_v21 open it, but with some artefacts.

Unpacked level Training_00: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hz3kd ... raining.7z
I made a Noesis plugin that will open your dat textures :D
tex_FarCryInstincts_xbt-dat.zip
it supports the dxt1 and dxt5 textures
i think less than half of those dat files are actually textures though (:

Great!

Thanks a lot :)

Among *.dat also can be:
*.xba files (Xbox Animation), *.bin (Maybe some binary animations, or anim info. Also it is can be analogs of *.cal files - animations lists from FC1, but binaries), and other map info files.

Reliable filenames with extensions and all pathes can be found in *.NFO files of Paradise Lost - arcade port of Far Cry Instincts.
Im already created the topic in archives research thread. If someone will modify Far Cry Evolution BMS script for using info from this files, it would make a unpack is very simple.

I don't understand why these haven't been renamed to .xbg.
I might have missed some, thanks.
And i not rename all extensions before when i upload this unpacked level. All files with names - it's models.

Btw, characters models don't have multiply mesh files or something, what can be looks like Morphing data? (Characters face expressions morphing)

I see you already writing a plugin\scripts\importer for some 3d viewer\editor program (Noesis?)
Maybe you can share it, if it already can load static meshes?

In principle, for me while would be enough any importer/converter only meshes from xbg. H2O still quite difficult for me =(
In the first, i want to import environments and decorations models (buildings, props, etc.). Sry for my English :~

It is will not work with other Far Cry .xbg files. For Far Cry 3-4 exist other scripts. There is topic: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12339&hilit=xbg
