I have trouble finding a way converting these files from .bdae and .tx format to a more common format.
Can anyone help out?

Re: How to convert LSW Castaways .bdae to .fbx, .obj or .dae
I used this modified gcbf bms script and it made the .png files displayable, also the hex of the files appear to be much more coherent after extracting them through quickbms.
The .bdae files now start with "BRES" in hex code, however the output doesn't seem to have changed when used with HextoObj.
Are the models really that janky or do I need to play around more with the settings of the program?
The .tx files seem to be just navigators for applying textures in the game (my guess).

Did you get the same result for the helmet as in my previous post?holladolla12 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 7:26 amThe .bdae files now start with "BRES" in hex code, however the output doesn't seem to have changed when used with HextoObj.
Depends on. Each model needs its own parameters, of course.Are the models really that janky or do I need to play around more with the settings of the program?

I did yeah, although I was expecting a helmet, not a messy mesh lookalike...

That's the result of my 15-minutes-check (as mostly always ).holladolla12 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 11:58 amI did yeah, although I was expecting a helmet, not a messy mesh lookalike...
Maybe some parts are missing from bdae extraction or there's sub meshes to be re-arranged. I have no idea.

Re: How to convert LSW Castaways .bdae to .fbx, .obj or .dae
Could you tell me if there's a trick to determining what the start address and the count number is, I seem to have trouble getting it to work?
What dimensions and what number of BPB should I use to get my .tx files to open? (Also asking how to know for different ones in the future )

There's no trick (except learning to read/understand hex data). There's dozens if not hundreds of posts (different formats) with hex screenshots which show where the counts are located; preceeding the vertex block in most cases or in magic tables. Search for the counts as hex values in files. Sometimes you'll need to search for blocksizes (= FVFsize x vertex_count).holladolla12 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 1:32 pmCould you tell me if there's a trick to determining what the start address and the count number is, I seem to have trouble getting it to work?
Take square root of filesize to estimate dimensions (1024x1024 for an 1 MB file). If BPP8 doesn't show results try others.What dimensions and what number of BPB should I use to get my .tx files to open?
