When I convert the .pme files to .obj using 3DObjectConverter and open the converted file in blender, the model does not display. Can someone help me and tell me how to convert?
Thanks :keke:

As you can see there are a lot of unanswered questions, if there was a solution we would all be on it already ^^
But by the way, how did you get your .pme files? I only have .tga and .ptf files
In the same way as for .tga files but with this .bms file; https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
You will have all the files of the game except the .tga files which require another .bms file

Are you sure the model doesn't display? For me it display but it's very small, so you have to zoom in or change size of the model.

Yes, it doesn't display Image

How do you do the conversion? To avoid polluting this forum too much, you can answer me on discord if you want

I'm not very good at all of this, to tell the truth I only do it for 3D models and textures ...
I have decompressed the .csa files but I don't have any .tga files. Could someone help me?
Thanks :)

This is probably because you used an older BMS script. As for me I have followed different forums and such and there was a ascript that extracted .tga files for you. I can't rememeber but someone named Lisa (or sso ghosty) rewrote the script and shared it with us. With that script you can get .pte, .pme etc. files.

and put these files, replacing the files.
when you click "play" within the game, look for a black starter horse, see if it has a different texture.
Also Samyy, can you send me a pm with these files so I can try these too? The drive seems to be locked.

the only .bms I find on this forum is for textures and not for 3D models... I don't know where I found the .bms for .pme, .pte, ...

.pme files are the model files. You need to convert them in 3D Object Converter if you want to open them in Blender.
Yes, that's what we know already, the problem still remains within the texture compression/decompression.

I know. I replied to @some1hippiebullshit comment, because she had problem with 3d models. I thought she didn't know that .pme files are the 3d model files.

After multiple researches for the pixelated picture, I think that except to put itself to the programming one will not have the solution so easily. So I went back to the Texgenpack.exe program. It was created in 2016 and a year ago, a post about its functionality was posted :

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods ... escription

So that shows you the way to set it up but my problem with it is that I have an "R6034" error that I'm having trouble rectifying. Here's a little hint, I hope you haven't given up.
what is that for?

It's something like Crunch. It's for decompressing, compressing and converting texture files using a genetic algorithm. Btw, the github page says that it was mainly developed for Linux. It contains a Windows port, but it "requires some configuration to provide pthreads and GTK+ for GUI". If someone has time you can create a virtual machine with Linux and try to use texgenpack.

For modeling and animating they use Maya and for textures I think they use photoshop, but I'm not sure about that
