*script updated December 1, 2016*
made my first model import script for Noesis to open these models
supports mesh and UVs only
textures will load if they are in the same folder with the model
some models might display transparent if the texture has an alpha channel,
but i don't know how to turn off displayed transparency
3d object converter can open these models too

Re: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (*.dme)
great to see your progress! (though I find this python crxp is harder to deal with than 'C' or maxscript in many cases )

Re: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (*.dme)
thanks! i have no clue how to do this in C or maxscript and i'm still not sure of many things in python, i mostly just used what i learned from texture scripts.
i used your Hex2obj program to confirm vertex and face counts, vertex strides and UV positions for each model type, this would not have been possible for me otherwise so thank you for wonderful program.
now is time for some of these

Thank you for your information.AceWell wrote: 3d object converter can open these models too but it mirrors and rotates them for some reason
It loads the 3d points as X,Z,Y, but I did not realized it mirrors the loaded objects.
I fixed it (X,Y,Z vertex order + transformation matrix to get the correct view in my program).
I released the v6.408 as a web update now, so just use the Help/Check for updates... function to get it.

Re: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (*.dme)
i have updated the script in the top post so it prints the texture names in a more readable vertical list under the model name in the logPopup so it looks like this
and i added mesh IDs to each submesh so Noesis won't merge them all into a single megamesh!
this was a problem when models had more than one submesh that used different textures and
the UVs were layered making it difficult to apply textures to the right parts.
Code: Select all
* * * modelname.dme * * *
texturename.dds
texturename.dds

That's the older version of the format used by Planetside 2/H1Z1.

Re: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (*.dme)
i have updated the script in the first post so it auto loads the textures as long as they are in the same folder as the model.
if a texture has an alpha channel the model or just parts will display transparent, i don't know how to turn off this transparency.
also, if someone knows how to read normals properly for the dme format i will gladly fix the script.
i am not 100% certain i am doing it right as of now.

Re: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (*.dme)
you can contact me right in this very thread about this format, that is why this thread exist
i don't own the format so i don't discuss the research in private any more, i think everyone has a right
to see the research and add on to it if they know something so they don't have to start from nothing.
Karpati seems to have this dme format figured out and i'm hoping he will share some specs

Re: Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures (*.dme)
I would like to speak with you privately fist, but if you insist. You have only DME files, or you have CWA game on your computer with all the files?AceWell wrote:you can contact me right in this very thread about this format, that is why this thread exist

I also have this game and I wanted to share all the necessary files,but looks like you have everything you need.AceWell wrote:i have all game files, but i only research dme files because i am only interested in the models and textures
Do you add bones support in the future? As far as I know the skeleton is stored in dsk files.

i have no plans to add bones, skinning or animations unless you can show
me the python code that is needed to add these things to the script.
