Code: Select all

Absolutely fake
Aion uses modified (not original) CryEngine 1 files that could be also encrypted.
But can Aion “understand” original CryEngine 1 format? In case “yes”, official exporter can be used.
Chrrox, how to modify the files?

Thanks.

they modified the material data slightly other then that its just the first few bytes of the header one says crysis or soemthing and the other says aion if you change it you can use any crytec importer.

Or maybe someone who sucessfully used this script will help....what exactly need to be changed in header?
I tried to change first six bytes in Hexeditor to CMAion or CryTek, but that doesn't help.
Or maybe the problem is in verson of the game, say on what version it was sucessfully converted.

Maybe someone who succeed with this script can upload some cgf file that works with script, to understand where the problem is - in script or in cgf. I think that maybe the problem is in game version. I tried two version of Aion 2.0 and 1.5.1.4 (i couldn't find older versions) and both doesn't work...it gives me the same error message "Invalid File Type".

Here is one of my cgf files

Hi, At last i solved my problem with script.
The problem was not in the version of the game and not in the script, the problem was in Unpacker. I used RPGViewer to extract cgf from .Pak files, it show no errrors, extracted files but this files i think was with encrypted header, about 30 first bytes of every files was wrong. So, when i tried to use the unpack tool from this topic viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2848&p=32129&hilit=aion#p32129 everything gone well.

I don't even think taht problem was in unpacking :) ...

P.S. And one more, this wasn't worth spended time, the models are dull and rough, who want some interesting models better to try LA2 for example...and sorry for my bad english
