Team Sonic Racing Tool (PC)

Post by akderebur »

A tool for extracting models and textures from Team Sonic Racing. Geometry/Skeleton/Skinning supported. My main focus was character models as always. Car parts seem to load fine too. Other stuff may or may not work.

Tool overview and example exported model

How to use

Load
  • Browse : For selecting the .cpu.sp2 file. Corresponding .gpu.sp2 file must be in the same folder.
  • List : Found models will be added to the list. Select one to load it.
Export
  • NEX : Exports the model in custom binary format (.nex), intended to be loaded by Noesis. Noesis script for this format : Nex Script
  • SEModel : Exports the model in SEModel (*.semodel) format by dtzxporter. There are import scripts for Maya and Blender 2.79/ 2.80
  • DDS : Loads all the textures inside the selected file and exports them as DDS.
  • Note : Models and textures will be exported into the folder Export.

Good stuff, but would it be possible to make the tool able to work with stage Background characters?

Ones like King Boom Boo end up with their skeleton pre-posed and out of alignment:

Would be nice if this was addressed, but overall, really good tool!

Can you tell me the name of the .sp2 file, and also the name of the model if possible? I will take a look.

The file is: booshouse.cpu.sp2

King Boom Boo is found within it as: root_tsr_sp_room_4_sand2

Sometimes the vertices need to be transformed with "SE_LOCATOR". The tool already does it for stuff like car tires, because they had ids corresponding to the locators. The character models don't seem to have them. So the problem with that model is that it is not getting transformed to where it should be, and doesn't align with its skeleton.

I can try a quick hack like finding the first locator based on the name. It would work with the model you posted, but would not work for more complex stuff with multiple locators. Still it might be better than nothing. I will try to see if I can find a better way without needing to do too much work. I will update the tool when I am finished.

That works for me. I'm more interested in ripping characters found on the tracks, anyway. Namely the Boos and King Boom Boo, as stated.

I hate to bump this, but has there been an update to the tool to properly work with the background characters, yet? It has been a bit of a while, so I just thought I'd check in.

Okay, that makes sense. :)

Take your time.

Any chance you can give out documentation or code on how the models,materials, and skeleton chunks are structured? Would help alot.
