Granny .GR2 Reader plugin for Noesis

[feldarzt]

Sorry if I'm being annoying. I kinda lack experience with the BG3's way of storing models and textures.

I tried using the Modders Multitool too. When I open the model in its object explorer, I only get the model files listed as being used in the "whole" model, and no textures are mentioned or shown in the 3D preview window. Am I looking in the wrong place or doing something wrong?

Also... When you mention "manual work to convert textures", do you mean like saturating those weird maps "hidden" in the channels of HMVY textures with appropriate colors and so on? If so, is there a simpler way of doing it rather than photoshopping them and trying to pick the colors necessary by guesswork?

Wow.
How did you get that model textured? When I'm opening BG3 models in Noesis with the plugin and granny2.dll, I get them with 0 textures associated.

it works pretty well with Baldur's Gate 3 characters. I must also note that this is the only tool that converts BG3 models properly with skeleton.

I use this tool to find connection between resources:

But there’s no way to just open model with all the texture applied. It’s manual work to convert textures and combine models

characters are using 3 types of texture: skin, eye, clothes. Skin is under the HMVY+CLEA maps, eye is also using a complex shading system, clothes are using virtual textures - you have to manually unpack them first, then look for the textures cuz there are no names. Most of the textures are virtual textures. However, there's a way to name these virtual textures after unpack with this script. After renaming, you'll be able to find corresponding textures by model name, most of the time. Sometimes, female model HUM_F_ uses male's texture named like HUM_M_ etc

I'm afraid there's no way to AUTO do things. Having the list of models is already a huge gift.

I hope it does make sense.

p.s.: if you want a specific model, check my deviant page, maybe you'll find there what you need.

Yep, that makes sense to me. Thanks a lot for the explanation! It's always great to have someone experienced to show you the ropes

Also, that's a great DA page!

The link you posted for the script doesn't work if you aren't in that discord. Would you mind posting it here? Or if it's a public server, would you share an invite link?


Thanks so much!

OK. I keep getting PM's about "Encrypted Files" and how to break into them.
I'm not going to tell you how I can get all the meshes and stuff but I'll tell you this.
They are NOT encrypted!!!! All the information is there!

Here's what happens...........
On export from, say 3D Max, there is options to NOT include information. Like Model name, mesh names, and so on.
Granny Viewer and most other Tools look for the names and such. If not there? You'll see nothing, get nothing!

This seems limited to Metin2 files so far.

[Jawwad]

Hello


someone know how to fix this?

[05SpeedMaster]

Not enough information to go by.
What Game files? What granny2.dll. And Why version 121 of the script?

[Milkage]

Any idea which part of the hex code is the model list?

Looks like the invite has expired
Could you give us another one? I'd love to get that script.

Heck, those so-called virtual textures blow my mind.

Does anyone understand how are they different from the "regular" textures except for having chaotic and non-structured names and in-file placement?

[cvaqabond]

Can someone please explain to me how to do this? I've been trying for hours but I can't do it.

I am using 3dsMax 2018 and have all the necessary plugins. However, I don't know how to adapt an animation I found on the internet to a gr2 file. I tried many times in Metin2 but the result is unsuccessful. If there is anyone who can guide me step by step, I would like to thank you very much in advance.

I don't know exactly how I should implement the import and export operations. That's why my character looks like a stickman in the game.

[05SpeedMaster]

Example of the files goes a long way to help.

[SphinxRa40]

Thanks for all your work^
Tho of all the games listed, there is sadly no support for the game Rise and Fall?
That game has a GrannySS.dll, tried both scripts and renamed the dll (for 3.5) but no luck :/

[05SpeedMaster]

Do you have a sample model file?
The GrannySS.dll is version 2.5.0.11 so it's NOT going to work.

I'd like to check the model files with exporters I wrote.
