Jet Set Radio HD Level Model File

Well that was quicker than I thought. I just need to do this for the rest of them and then I guess I can call it a day.

Huh, nice! Also I'm just curious, is there seperate head/hand models in the bin files? In JSRF they used seperate head/hand models for different facial expressions and hand poses, just curious if JSR did the same

[egregiousguy]

I'll have to check if they use separate models for the head and hand. I would imagine so as there're separate pvr textures with the different expressions in the _txr.bin file and they most likely correspond to a separate mesh that gets swapped out.

[egregiousguy]

So it looks like the .bin data has a few models stored in it. For Beat there are 5 models: Normal, Glow, Normal with can, Glow with can and then a separate face model for different expressions. I'm not sure why all the textures won't load (like the spray can) I must not be writing the NJTL section correctly.

I'm pretty sure the spraycan is a separate texture, at least in JSRF it was.
Ya' think you'll be able to grab maps as well? Or is the format too messed up? I can send more level files if it would help.

I have the texture of the can but I'm not sure why Noesis didn't pick it up. It might be scripting error on my part as I've been doing all this manually and the texture doesn't load on all the other player characters that I've done either. I'll see what I can do about the maps but that might take some time since it's such a larger file.

Started on the map models. I was able to isolate each of the meshes but they're all centered at the origin instead of their correct locations. I'll need to find where that data is stored and implement that somehow.

Also, here's what I pulled out of bikedat.bin. Not the cleanest of models but it's something.

Hmm... I'd imagine getting the map textures to rip with that might be a little difficult too. The level textures are separated into several separate .TXB files as far as I could tell. (inside the .AFS files)

They're still just PVR's though.

Funny enough, the "_ALL" file does not actually contain ALL the textures. I don't get it, these files are wild lol.

[egregiousguy]

Yeah, they're just pvr's packed into a single file so I just made a simple Lua script that searched for the header and split them. We could then use PVM Editor to create a PVM out of it. One thing to note though is that the header info for the file length is incorrect on some of the PVR's so I had to make a file length check in the script to fix the header if it didn't match in order to load those properly.

Got hung up a bit on the map so I wanted to take a stab at the collision map model. This was a lot more complex than I had hoped for but I managed to figure it out. Aside from the complete triangle strip sequence, there are other tables further into the file that describe the triangle strip length, pointers the start of the tri strip and pointers to the vertex group they belong to (which I used to add up the face count as they start over for each group). I ended up writing a small Lua script for it but it's not fully automatic just yet as I don't know where in the file these table offsets are stored but it should work for each map as long as you spent the time finding the offsets for each table.

The resulting collision map model looks like this.

Is there any way you could upload these models and/or share the process needed to rip them? I've wanted to rip the JSR models for a long time but have no idea how.

[jetoralive]

please if at all possible share the player character models or the process to extract, I'm also someone who's been looking for them for years. this is awesome work!

[Kexana]

Sorry if necro posting, Has there been any update on releasing the models, even only the meshes? I'm very excited and this seems very promising!

[jetoralive]

any new updates for this?

[shakotay2]

Sadly egregiousguy left nothing but pictures, afaics. So all his work doesn't help. It's rather unlikely that someone else will take up the tedious analysing, imho.

Latest valuable input came from JSS442, see here (click on up arrow):

Many thanks again for that!
