Ring of Elysium Noesis script

[PeterZ]

Based on this zaramot's script:viewtopic.php?f=16&t=20691&start=15#p159658
I rewrite this Noesis script to support skeleton loading.

Usage: Since skeleton are stored in "Ring of Elysium\SFC\Actors.sfc", you should unpack this file and edit the script line10 "sfc_Actors_folder"

You may need this extractor by LokiReborn to get all files from "data_bas_*.vfs".

zaramot's BMS script to extract files from *.sfc files.
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21569#p159192

010editor template included.
Skeleton weight support.
Some vertex normal support(maybe correct).

Code: Select all

2021.10.6 v1:Add MESH (.QSG) & SKELETON (.QSS) support.Skeleton weight & some Vertex normal support.
2022.1.3 v2:Add automatically finding match skel file feature.

More tests are welcome, please report bug with samples attached

Hello.
When unpacking *.sfx files, I get *.dat files. Are all the mashes in them? How can I view them?

For FPP meshes, they are stored in "data_bas_*.vfs" under the root folder of the game.
For TPP meshes and other meshes, they are stored in *.sfc files. You should be able to get all meshes you want.

I found meshes from the first person view. The 1st version of the plugin opens them.
The second version of the plugin gives this error when viewing *.QSG files and *.DAT files.

I tried DAT files from Avatars_Skin_X_F_SJ.sfc.

Thanks PeterZ for the script, is it possible to align the skeleton with the face\head mesh?

Have you exported "Actors.sfc" to your folder"F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Ring of Elysium\SFC\Actors\"
which dat file did you try to view

I have noticed it, but I don't know how to fix it, here is why:
"mesh" type .dat file contain boneMtx,boneScale and boneName.
"skeleton" type .dat file contain boneMtx,boneScale,boneName and boneParent.
However, boneMtx in these two types are different.
For normal torso "mesh" type .dat file,vertex use boneMtx that stored in "skeleton" type .dat file.
For face "mesh" type .dat file,vertex seems to use boneMtx that stored in itself file in some strange way.

As you can see I use 010 editor to analyse "00000000000000a2.dat" under folder "Avatars_Face". If you move the extracted mesh around 160 unit, the head vertex should be in the right position.
The problem is: I don't know boneParent in "mesh" type .dat file so that I can't link bones together.And I'm not sure which skeleton should I use,in "mesh" type .dat file or in "skeleton" type .dat file

Btw, what I implemented in v2 script is to compare whether all boneName in mesh file can be found in skeleton file.If so, I'm sure that the skeleton is belong to this mesh.

Could you explain the basic process of editing the .dat file within 010 editor, I am not familiar with using hex editors.

Thanks

010 editor is not for "editing" .dat file,but analyse the file structure.

I have attached mesh(QSG) and skeleton(QSS) template in zip file.
to use it, you should do following steps:
1. open .dat file in 010 editor, just drag the file to 010 editor.
2. open .bt template file in 010 editor, just drag the file to 010 editor too, It should show a window which show the content of the template.
3.Around top right corner of the window, you should see a "run" button, click it to make the template run on the .dat file.

Thanks for the info PeterZ, concentrating on moving the bone position of the eyes, which should be the best guide for the whole root placement, I found [X 0.0][Y -1.0][Z -63.5] rotates the eyes properly. [the XYZ will differ depending on the software used]

No, they are not corrupt. Those are just some insane hair styles.
