trackmania noesis problem

[fajNYgosciu1234]

while i decompressed the gbx, i cannot convert most of the assets with noesis, because of the error, https://www.mediafire.com/file/00s01vin ... d.Gbx/file and https://www.mediafire.com/file/ss88lsre ... 9.Gbx/file are the files i tried

[fajNYgosciu1234]

actually, i fixed the mesh amount problem but i still need a fix for this one

[fajNYgosciu1234]

also, the plugin doesn't support ascii gbx

bumpy lumpy jumpy

and also everything is positioned at the same location

and also everything is positioned at the same location

The "clumped mesh" problem, maybe?

let along the vertices need to be transformed to the correct positions with the corresponding bone transformation info

--------------------
Concerning Gbx and the Noesis script: don't know the script (and if so wouldn't have the time to patch it), but mesh format looks simple:

here's the plug-in, it can't read some or most cars with gbx decompressed

Thanks; whom is the py script from? (There are not many scripts that use bs.data[addr:bs.dataSize])

btw: any script is rather worthless as long as it isn't accompanied by a working sample, here .gbx.
(Not working samples aren't very helpful for trying to patch scripts.)

This is the patched script (sorry to unknown original author for spoiling it ) to give you the idea.

the plug-in i found was from the vg resource forums https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-37380.html

Ok, the script author is Tuliopilloto.

This script was tested only with the file you posted, so there is no guarantee that it will work with all files.

Hi I would like to know how to convert a mod because gbx to obj
I am looking for a script for blender or noesis tools thank you.

https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-37380-page-2.html

i want to get these 2 mods for private use thanks for any help or info

several samples from mappacks which were extracted from a zip file
one of these contain textures, so it's like table top racing stores it in .amodel
opening these in noesis gives an error about uv size
