.hgs model file conversion

Post by NeoJones »

Hey guys,
I have a .hgs model file from the game "Monopoly" (Steam version by Sperasoft) and i dont know how to open that file format. Noesis cant read that format.
Its 100% a model file, cause the name of the folder called "models". Iam trying to open this file with a hex editor (Hxd) and iam found some strings like "HG3D" (at the head), "root", "skeleton", "car_mat" and so on. Iam try to searching for this file extension, but i found only hgs = harvard graphics.
But i dont know, if its the right keyword for that.

About the game files & folder structures i believe, some hgs files contain animations, too.

Can someone help me please? I searching for a few days for that and its hard to find about that... :cry:


Best regards,
NJ

Once you've found out that the FVFsize (vertex stride) is 56 here the format appears to be pretty simple:

Just re-script it using the video, and stop being so demanding.

@mariokart64n
you should consider moving all your tutorial links to a new thread in the "Tutorials" section of the forum like what daemon1 did so they don't get buried and lost :D

@PhillipGamer3264
are you refering to yourself in 3rd person? it is very confusing :P
