Frostbite model tools (Battlefield, Battlefront and others)

Python script to convert audio

Face-fixing SMDs for all 32 faces from SWBF2. I didn't check them all, but must be correct.

One strange thing: I checked all of the face animation assets, and they ALL present in VURs, except one! And this one also was in alpha, but no model corresponds to it. Must be some face they didn't put in the game yet.

what plugin would i use to port the models into say max or something
plus how do i get textures?

[daemon1]

Audio script in the post above updated. Now it must get all sounds, including 9 ones which used more than 128 chunks.

Texture Batch converter

Texture Batch converter

bug: it saves duplicates when the 'remove trailing zeroes' is checked. and i'd like to have a choice to output to another folder. build a copy of the folder tree, rather then converting into the extract folder.

Its not my tool, I just corrected it to support SWBF. I'm not going to improve it

okay. thx anyway.

ok every thing worked out great but the final issue is how do i open the mesh files to 3ds max

use an smd importer. max got wallworm. blender has sourcetools.

yeh. just refering to your facepunch post. i can't answer there anymore. they got a dumb mod and a stupid cat. /blah

i usually cant get answers there these days for anything
plus you are talking about the mesh files right or the smd files to fix faces
cus im trying to port some vehicles and other things
these type of files


ik it used to have a mesh file and a chunks file but that dosnt work anymore

[episoder]

have you read the 1st post howto use the tools? you gotta search the walrus_humanmale file, need the meshset files and find the chunk files. then put them all in the folder with the mesh tool. then use command prompt or a batch file with the command.

Fb_BF1_mesh <mesh> <chunk>

where mesh and chunk obviously gotta be replaced with the proper meshset and chunk file names.

to find the chunks you may have to use a hexeditor and read in the meshset files. there's the sha1 or whatever hash name in it. then copy those to the tool folder. then execute the mesh tool. that should give a sorta working smd.

if you wanna avoid all of this you gotta ask rancor022 on facepunch to give you the frosty version that has working export. nobody is allowed to share it, but he does it. i won't. still all good.

Did I do something wrong with the converter? Keep getting this at the end:

ok so if i would open the mesh set file in hex editor what is the general area where i can find the correct chunk file name

I will make a new version soon, that will automatically get the right chunk from "chunks" folder
