Bus Derby (iOS) - tibberojVER .obj file

[LukeAndBobPro]

Greetings, my fellow XeNTaX users!
it's Luke here back with yet another one of those "Un-accessible" file formats!
this one is called the ".OBJ" format. and no, I'm not talking about the "Wavefront" .obj format, I'm talking about the tibberojVER .obj format.
which serves as the main 3D model format in Dimension Technic's most popular iOS racing game "Bus Derby".
or Bus Derby: The Original for some people. and yes, it is accessible, but the problem is is that when I load it up, it shows nothing.
and yes, I've tried to use hexeditor on it, but it's very impossible to use because the tutorial doesn't properly explain the program's functions to me.
at least in my opinion. if someone could at least give me some advice on what to do with this format, that would be great.
here's the format if you need it.

Which tutorial are you talking about? A hexeditor usually is for displaying/editing hex data (as the name states), not for showing 3D models.

Using hex2obj (view link in my sig):

1st of all: Don't play "Stupid" with me! [NO OFFENSE OR PUN INTENDED]

2nd of all: I meant to say "hex2obj" instead of "hexeditor"!

and 3rd: HOW COME IT WORKS FOR YOU AND NOT ME!?!

Calm down - I don't need to help you. So.

[LukeAndBobPro]

Shako, wait!
I didn't mean to say that!
please come back!

I'm talking about the tibberojVER .obj format.

The red_1.obj file has references to the external textures files:
red_lampak_color.png (it is OK, because you sent me this file)
red_color.tga (??, because you sent me the red_body_color.png file)

Do you have the red_color.tga file?

I know this is hard-to-solve question, but how in the world do I get the texture files from these "DTI" files?

@LukeAndBobPro : It's a container for jpeg (rgb data) and zlib compressed data (raw alpha channel). You can use attached script to extract both from such containers. Though in both provided samples alpha data can be ignored, apparently.

Update: Updated script is now converting raw data to respective dds files. It can now handle different dti format as well.

Well, that was quick.
Thanks! I guess?

[LukeAndBobPro]

Look, I appreciate you trying to help, but I've already found a solution on how to import the files already.

dti_textures_extract.zip

it works perfectly, thanks!

you're not alone... maybe someone needs it too.

[LukeAndBobPro]

I understand that, Durik256.
it's fine if you keep it here just incase somebody needs it.
