Hitman / Kane & Lynch series model tools

I hate to sound like a dummy, Tosyk, but how do I use the model sorter?

Is there a chance of adding Sniper Challenge support? It has several models that are missing in main game, like Birdie.

well,

• first you need to unpack all the game archives with unpacker from the first post;
• then put 'model_sorter_v0.2.cmd' into <you_hitman_game_root_folder>\runtime\ and run;
• after that all (actually almost all 'cause I'm still in working on the sorter — atm 87% done) the game assets will be sorted

you can use it in unfinished state or after I finish it, anyway it shouldn't conflict.

so you saying that archive unpacker doesn't work with SC?

[YourImaginaryFriend]

Yes, the tool crashes

[trexjones]

Thanks Tosyk!

And yeah, it's not completely compatible. I noticed a lot of the female meshes are coming out funny and not alligned properly or distorted, but Daemon's looking into it.

if you want SC to be supported you need to pass daemon sample files, don't you think he want to download the game just for you?

Thanks Tosyk!

yeah, I know, he already fixed uv distortion, but my sorter-tool is beyond the processes daemon's tools do.

My mistake. Here are samples if needed http://www95.zippyshare.com/v/ONrTvlGx/file.html

Here's final version of filesorter for absolution (PC, tested on final steam version but should work on any) I worked on. It will unpack and sort all the assets of the original game and DLCs.
how to use:

• unpack all the files from h5_asset_unpacker_and_sorter.zip into <your_hitman_game_root_folder>\runtime\
• put Hitman5.exe from first post into <your_hitman_game_root_folder>\runtime\
  • on this step you have 3 .cmd files and 1 .exe file in runtime folder;
• run 01_h5_move_bad_archives.cmd — it will move all the bad (not unpackable and ones with error) .pc_resourcelib files into temp folders:
  • all the neccecary folders will be creaeted at this step;
  • wait till the process is finished;
• [you should omit this step for now, do it as described here] run 02_h5_unpack_pc_resourcelib.cmd — it will find and unpack all valid .pc_resourcelib files:
  • you'll get a bunch of different nameless files;
  • wait till the process is finished;
• run 03_h5_asset_sorter.cmd — it will sort all the assets so you can find them in <your_hitman_game_root_folder>\runtime\unp\
  • wait till the process is finished;
• run 04_h5_move_bad_archives_back.cmd to move bad .pc_resourcelib files back:
  • wait till the process is finished;
  • play the game normaly.

After all the steps you can convert models and textures with the tools from first post of this thread.
Note that this process will work from <your_hitman_game_root_folder>\runtime\ folder only. Also if you moved any of the archives manually filesorter may not find them.

Many of the archives cannot be unpacked due to the Hitman5.exe archive unpacker incompleation (compleation of which is beyond my possibilities), that's why I moved them into temp directories. if they be able to be unpacked someday I will update filesorter. You can also pass not unpackable files to daemon so he can reverse them.

p.s.: Please report me on errors.

I'm currently working on cloth data from Absolution. They have special cloth engine unique only for Absolution. I've seen no other game like this. Even new 2016 hitman has all clothes as usual meshes. But in Absolution, jackets, ties and other cloth meshes no NOT exist in game files. Instead, they're built on the fly with their cloth engine, using special cloth generation tables.

So even to get one, initial geometry shape for it, I will need to reproduce their cloth engine and implement it in my tool. This may take weeks or even months.

Hey Tosyk -- I tried your new tools, but ran in to a couple of problems.

I did everything exactly as you stated, but none of the files actually got unpacked or sorted. The first cmd worked -- the move_bad_archives worked fine, but after that, all that happened was the appearance of a "unp" folder, with the animals, characters, foliage, garbage, props, vehicles, weapons folders inside, but none of the archives ended up in those folders... any idea what I might be doing wrong?

didn't you forgot to put hitman5.exe into runtime folder? can I see a screenshot of your runtime folder?

[trexjones]

Sure thing... Here's what it looks like...

[Tosyk]

Sure thing... Here's what it looks like...

seems like everything is correct at the screenshot. So you saying "bad" archives (.pc_resourcelib) were moved to the folders, right? Next you run second script and it return... an error or what? Is it doing something?

p.s.: is this PC version, right?

[trexjones]

So, I run the unpack_pc_resoucelib.cmd and this is what comes up in response...

And correct the bad archives seem to go into their correct places...
