Hello there,
thank you for your excellent guides and resources. They have been a huge help already. However, I find myself running into a wall here, so I would appreciate it if someone could give me a pointer.

I have checked all the linked posts/resources, including Crofty's sta.sh, and got past several hurdles, but I'm still stuck when it comes to using the face fixing tool for my custom Inquisitor.
I've used the Python3 extraction tools to do a full dump of Inquisition to my hard drive and Ninja Ripper to grab the warped mesh from the game. I've also run the ebxtoasset-Script. However, looking at the guide:

3 parameters: meshset, skeleton, morphresource
chunk will be found automatically

Code: Select all

Fb_DAI_morph.exe mt_basa_hf.meshset hf_skeleton.ebx hf_adamant_clarel.MorphResource
It seems to me that after the dump I should have .meshset files, but I don't. What am I doing wrong?

I don't have the .meshset or .MorphResource-files, and I have no idea how to get them. I assume that I need to run some other converter? Google search isn't giving me anything, and searching on the forum just directs me back here.

Could you help me out?

Fb_DAI_morph.exe can't be used to get custom Inquisitor
that tool is not public

Second question, what would it take to talk you into releasing it?


Originial question still standing - how do I get the MorphResource-files? Do I need the non-public tool?

i'm not giving this tool to anyone

MorphResource files are only present for models made with standard morphs, like adamant clarel

I thought, maybe that has changed in the meantime. :)

Although that IS the one to go to script, for complete full extraction since it has been thoroughly updated to dump everything from all supported games, patches and DLCs included, after many attempts in trying to explain the dev behind the scripts that old tools depend on proper names extension for resources inside the RES folder, you already have all required files in your dump folder, unfortunately they are all named .res as extension, and knowing which one it is on your own is nearly impossible.
So what I suggest is make a issue on his GitHub page and explain your situation, because there's a chance he might add support for it.

best of luck

Also this will help in getting the names of the files: viewtopic.php?p=147373#p147373

Hey mono,
thanks for the answer, here I thought I was stupid. :)
I have gotten in touch with the people already about dynamic path import, maybe we can tackle the other problem as well between the years. Thank you again!

Daemon1, do you have any plans on releasing your Frostbite animation extraction tools? I noticed that the thread was lost along with the Facepunch forums.

i had only test runs, with manual selection of somethings
completing the proper tool will require more work and i never had time for it
