Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Well I tried with quickbms and I got a tons of files from all types: Tex, Dat, Pfb, Sbd, _Sv etc. I don't really know how to open the files with all these different files. I just want to use some stuff for enviromental purposes, not really into characters models.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Those files should be correct (judging by the names you've mentioned). There should also be .mes/mesh files these. These are the game models (both characters and props/environments).
If it's a bit confusing to you, I would advise using the max script zaramot provided (this thread - page 2). Even after all the work to get models to load in blender and unpacking with SGM I ended up using max. For characters at least it's painless. Load script, load mes file, done. Loads only the Lod0 with bones and skin weights too. Static meshes as well. I was able to load the police station main hall for example.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
So the .mes files (which im pretty sure I saw a few) are the models im looking for. If I use the max zaramot script do I have to unpack the pak file all over again? I would be very grateful if you could explain me how these things work or send a link for a guide, I never tried to see the models from something as complex as the RE engine can be so it's pretty confusing. At least I know the .mes files are the models im looking for.completenoob wrote:Those files should be correct (judging by the names you've mentioned). There should also be .mes/mesh files these.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
If you have unpacked everything using the Quickbms and the file list and you don't want textures, just the meshes then you're fine using just the max script. Open max, run the script and point to the .mes/mesh files. For characters it even imports bones and skin weights.
If you need the textures (really low resolution by the way) or want to use blender to open the files then you will need the SGM provided on this thread. Basically I used it for the textures because I prefer using max as the script loads only the Lod0. It was cool to see how far they go into optimization with the Lods (in blender) but other than that I prefer max. For a guide/tutorial on how to use SGM and blender download the latest version here and unrar it (images are inside). Hope it helps: http://xnalara.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t ... 6707f3057e

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Code: Select all
#IDK
elif dxtType == 72:
ddsFmt = noesis.NOESISTEX_DXT1
#Cubemaps
elif dxtType == 95:
ddsData = rapi.imageDecodeDXT(ddsData, ddsWidth, ddsHeight, noesis.FOURCC_BC6S)
ddsFmt = noesis.NOESISTEX_RGBA32
#Colorcubes
elif dxtType == 29:
ddsFmt = noesis.NOESISTEX_RGBA32
I'm not 100% sure.
Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
With regards to the textures, you are probably running into the same issue I ran into when I started working on my own RE7 tools, there is a separate folder for the textures called "streaming" which contains the high resolution streamed textures (sticking "streaming" folder between the path and natives/x64 should give the correct texture).completenoob wrote:If you have unpacked everything using the Quickbms and the file list and you don't want textures, just the meshes then you're fine using just the max script.

On the textures again, the type/format directly correlates with DirectX's DXGI_FORMAT enumerator for anyone concerned (from SDK):

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Oh that explains it! I knew they had to have different sized textures. I will have test it now thank you!Scobalula wrote:With regards to the textures, you are probably running into the same issue I ran into when I started working on my own RE7 tools, there is a separate folder for the textures called "streaming" which contains the high resolution streamed textures (sticking "streaming" folder between the path and natives/x64 should give the correct texture).completenoob wrote:If you have unpacked everything using the Quickbms and the file list and you don't want textures, just the meshes then you're fine using just the max script.

Have a lool at the previois posts dor a detailed explanation and tutorial. You can use SGM to extract just the textures.Anthony7888 wrote:I can have the max script provided by zaramot

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Well I kinda want the textures too, a model without texture wouldn't be that useful xD. Is there any way I can find the model with his texture in the files? Also there isn't a script or something that extracts the files with the names? It would be very difficult find something when there is only a series of numbers as a name.completenoob wrote:If you have unpacked everything using the Quickbms and the file list and you don't want textures, just the meshes then you're fine using just the max script.

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Hey, is there anything I can do to help get static meshes working? I'm really looking to get static meshes out of it. It seems like the vertices are connecting in a really weird order and it's making the meshes come out really distorted and jumbled up, with the wrong vertices making weird faces.zaramot wrote:Here's "alpha" maxscript and Noesis plugin for RE2 R, if anyone want to test it out. Skinned meshes should work, static partially xD Don't have a lot of samples. It's for those of you who prefer using 3ds max instead of something else

Re: Resident Evil 2 Remake - demo PAK file
Sure, send me some problematic models I'll see what I can do! But also note, that there's an alternative tool (and you can use Blender), just saying maybe you don't know
Making model-import scripts, PM
