Inquisitor: Martyr Noesis plugin Commission

[kingfisher13]

Hey guys,

I'm very interested in a particular game that has some great 3d models, and I'd be willing to dish out the bucks for someone to work out a Noesis or 3ds Max script that can correctly import fully rigged and textured models from the game Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor: Martyr. Basically a set of tools for extracting useable models, both static and rigged, from the game. I'm willing to pay someone 60 USD via paypal or Google Wallet to help me do this. Is anyone interested?

I can share game files if needed. The game is produced by NeoCore Games, and uses the Coretech3 Game engine, very similar to the Van Helsing game engine.

Wow, this game was already released?! I'm a big fan of warhammer 40k universe. If you will provide samples I'll gladly take a look.

Hey, thats awesome! I am too, thanks for the quick reply! I'm uploading some files as I type, I'll link them in an update to this post. So I see some things right off the bat with this game, its file structure is very tidy and organized, which will make it very easy to work with.

The first thing I noticed is that model files are stored in compressed folders with a .N2PK file name. Each model has a "high" and "low" folder within its individual location, each containing a N2PK file, and a single N2PK file called Files.N2PK in the base folder of each model.

I'm guessing the "High" and "Low" folders refer to LOD quality of the model and textures. In the uploads I'm sharing, I include all the files for some sample models, excluding the "low" folder, for obvious reasons.

I'm uploading a weapon model, and an enemy unit model, as samples. I also noticed that the level models, which are procedurally generated, are actually made up of what appears to be single room models, which the game combines to form the levels. The level models folder contains a bunch of textures, in DDS format, a "High" and "Low" folder, again for the models themselves, and a set of special files for each room model.

I'll upload a set of the special files for the room models, I assume they contain meta data for the level models, for randomizing purposes. I doubt they will be of much use, as all I want from the level models is the rooms themselves, not the randomized obstacles, crates, etc.

EDIT:

Here is the link to a folder containing the files, I've zipped them using 7zip so I can upload them easier.

Hey Zaramot, have you made any progress?

[LumberingTroll]

I too am very interested in the results of this, Id really like to get my hands on these models as well.

I'm really wondering why you guys never seem to use forum's search?
If anyone had given the following hint we would have had the result 2 months earlier.

Look here at Szkaradek's Deathtrap script for blender 249b:
viewtopic.php?f=16&p=103512#p103512

It helps to unpack the n2pk to vhm (and other files).

Use hex2obj for a quick approach getting the mesh (first SM only, as always):

here is a quickbms script for extracting the archives.

Code: Select all

get msize long
math msize * 2
getdstring uname msize
set MAGIC unicode uname
if MAGIC != "Neocore Package"
print "Not Supported %MAGIC%"
cleanexit
endif
goto 0x24
get tbloff longlong
savepos base
math tbloff + base
goto tbloff
get files long
for i = 0 < files
get hash long
get nsize long
math nsize * 2
getdstring uname nsize
set NAME unicode uname
get null short
get offset longlong
get size longlong
math offset + base
log name offset size
next i

Im pretty new to this, would you mind explaining this process?

Talking about how to get addresses and counts? I've written a general tutorial about it (tut button in hex2obj, view link in my sig).

[kingfisher13]

Hey guys, so the blender script doesn't work at all, it doesn't even load. Also, I offered a commission on a 3ds max script, not a blender script. The offer still stands.

[sparksisalwaystaken]

I would also be willing to contribute some money towards this, if anyone can do it

[shakotay2]

Can't serve with any scripts, sorry, but I've got the table data (for use with hex2obj). Seems there's 4 lod levels, the formula for lod1 meshes is
(n-1)x4 +1, so for 3rd mesh object lod1 is #9 (1, 5, 9, 13, ..).

FI addresses in parenthesis (1cf1e or 1e4c6), first one is for FVFsize of 32, second one for 36, you'll need to try out (uvpos 16 or 24), HF_UV

Code: Select all

most detailed lods: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25
1st mesh object, number, vAddr, vCnt, FIcnt (FIaddr) 
# 1. 2abe 1650, FIcnt: 5172 (f8fe)  32/16

The result:

btw: lower lods are rather detailed, too, so not sure, whether it's really lods or something else

[zaramot]

I have a maxscript for geometry import only (characters, npc, enemies, weapons), bones might work only for characters, had no luck finishing it for the moment! I have plans later on, or more like I have a will for this - but not the strength aha ha ha

[kingfisher13]

Awesome work on the format guys! and I'm very interested in your max script, if you ever get it finished to the point where it can import fully rigged and textured models from this game, there's a nice sack of cash in it for you C:
