360 - Dead Rising 2 .BIG file

How'd you do that anyways Dean? Did you do some bms scripting?

Hi Chrrox,

Excellent script for quickBMS. Worked like a charm including the tex to dds. I'm asking the same question as someone else though. how did you get the model into max (or any other program for that matter). I looked inside the combined vertices 56 file but couldnt see a pattern to any regular file formats i knew.

I'm continuing to investigate but it would save heaps of time if you can shed any light on your workflow.

Cheers,

Mat

No, just keep extracting the .big files it churns out. I did that 2 or 3 more times and got what looks like bone file names, and the combined vertices files. Don't know what format they're in, though.

No, I meant on FP, you had stars uniform texture for the swat gear. Did you somehow open the tex and converted it back?

[Dean]

That was with Texmod, nothing of the sort. http://filesmelt.com/dl/texmod.zip Launch deadrising2.exe with logging mode, use numpad + and - to sort through textures, rip the ones you want, exit the game and edit what you want, then create a package of the .log file it creates and re-launch the game with package mode or whatever it's called.

Thanks. Much easier to extract .big files, but it still doesn't help me with what format the model files are supposed to be in.

I looked in valuesets and saw some words. In the srv_matthew it said 'srv_matthew_mtl_pants.pdv'

Any way to unpack the .BIG files of the 360 version yet?

The means to unpack every version of the game's .big files are right here in this thread.

Im not a programmer but the vertex/uvmap was stored inside:
geo_torsoShape Vertices 0

Im converted the file into float from srv_lulu:

I've tried both the BMS script and Gibbed's tools and it doesn't work for me
