MMO Black Desert Online

[joqqy]

I edited the maxscript, it did not load .pam correctly in Max 2021 due to a syntax error in the declaration of a dictionary type.
Here is the edited version of the maxscript, only tested with Max 2021:
-snip-

Edit 2020-12-11:
Found some additional bugs(spelling error) when loading parVer 1030, here is the updated script with bug fixes:
Blackdesertpam_bugfix2.rar
Additional stuff added is handling of normal maps and decal maps.
Standard material is changed to Physical Material.

Hey,

thanks for your Script.
I work with 3ds Max 201264 Bit and i get this Error:

It’s Lynix’s script, so all credit to him.
I did some bug fixes and changes, but only tested on max 2021.
You should use the script I edited with max 2021, because I am not even sure Dictionary types were even introduced in Maxscript for the 2012 version of Max.
So your simplest solution would be to use the script with Max 2021, maybe a student version.

nice addons/ changes on the script ^^

Can u add the Script for older Max Version?

i will look at it... ...

For newer PAC files, looks like all that's needed is updating lines

Code: Select all

	if parVer == 515 or parVer == 771:

Code: Select all

	elif parVer == 259 or parVer == 515 or parVer == 771:

Hi,here's the Noesis script I fixed for remastered game Version 2100 in 2019 DEC.Tested all classes nude model.
I skipped some data after flag 256&1025.
But,what they mean?

Thankyou 48464385 for the Noesis script update, much appreciated.

Noesis updated script by 48464385 works on all models/meshes, I convert PAC to PSK workflow.

I'm glad to see that and trying to make Skykila's paa script work based on Szkaradek123's [2015-01-03] blender script to export correct animation.

Noesis script I worked based on:viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11849#p102530
blender pab&paa-working script:viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11849&start=15#p116515

I gave some changes and added many comments.I wish there's some genius can have a look.
All data are loaded correctly from paa,I checked with working blender script. But I need some help with Noesis's BoneQuat/rotation.
Here are samples .pac. pab .paa

Yeah, some genius would know!
Looks like there's only a minus at the wrong place (== two differences) in (all) the rotation matrices:
bone count/kf count (97.27 / 97, 28)

Code: Select all

97.27  Noesis
((0.9774166941642761, -0.0, -0.21127915382385254), 
(0.0, 1.0, -0.0), 
(0.21127915382385254, 0.0, 0.9774166941642761), 
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0))

(97, 28) blender
[0.977417, 0.000000, 0.211279](matrix [row 0])
[-0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000](matrix [row 1])
[-0.211279, -0.000000, 0.977417](matrix [row 2])

(And the keyframe count is off by one, dunno why.)

I got the matrices print right,but the result is still wrong

[Joschka]

I took a quick look at the script and there were a few things wrong.
First the quaternion needed to be transposed (i.e. transpose the associated rotation matrix) :

Code: Select all

BoneQuat = NoeQuat( (bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat(), bs.readHalfFloat()) ).transpose()

Then there was a problem with these lines :

Code: Select all

if Parent is not -1:
	RotKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(rotationkeyframe, BoneQuat * BoneLocalRotList[Parent]))#Not sure what this means
else:
	RotKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(rotationkeyframe, BoneQuat))

According to your comment you were confused about what this step was for. These lines here are used to convert the quaternion from local space (relative to the parent) to model space (relative the model's origin/root), by accumulating the transforms along the bone hierarchy (assuming the bones are well ordered in this case).
However in Noesis, contrary to the bones' transforms that are expected to be in model space, animation data is expected to be in local space, as this is what most games use. So instead you just need to give the transform as is :

Code: Select all

RotKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(rotationkeyframe, BoneQuat))

and

Code: Select all

TrnKeys.append(NoeKeyFramedValue(positionkeyframe, BonePosition))

You also gave the timing data as frames whereas Noesis expects it as time. So I created a variable called framerate that I set at 30 (no clue what the actual anim framerate is, you'll be able to change it if it's not the correct value) and divided all your timings by it to get the value in seconds :

Code: Select all

positionkeyframe = bs.readUShort()//33/framerate

Finally you set your animation to be at 1fps for some reason. I corrected it to use the framerate variable above :

Code: Select all

anims.append(NoeKeyFramedAnim("BlackDesert anim", wholeBones, kfBones, framerate))

And set the Noesis preview to it too

Code: Select all

rapi.setPreviewOption("setAnimSpeed", str(framerate))

If you have several different framerates later and want to use the anim framerate instead of a global one, go to Tools->DataViewer->Persistent Settings->Other->"Always use anim framerate" and set it to 1.

Do all that and you should end up with something like this, not sure if this is perfect but at least it looks better


Hope that helps

Script does not work with many enemies. For example when opening m0001_goblinmagician, I get the message

Code: Select all

Detected file type: Black Desert anim
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Utilites\_Extractors\Noesis\plugins\python\fmt_Black_Desert_paa.py", line 128, in BDLoadModel

Traceback (most recent call last):
... in BDLoadModel
boneName = boneTable[str(boneHash1)]#name = boneNames[m] #load boneName based on bone's hash
KeyError: '3785025464'
---------------------------

This happens when there is no/not suiting *.pab file (contains skeleton/bonenames) in the folder where the *.paa resides.

("KeyError" means: wrong bone hash, afaics.)

Thankyou shakotay2 for reminding me about that procedure, all motions are functioning within Noesis.

Just tested Character+Motion, all seems to be working ok.
