Tecmo's Soo Gonna Sue

Yes, Tecmo is very sue happy and have shut down sites before.

BTW, did you guys get all the tools you need? I am pretty sure I still have most, if not all of them, on my HD somewhere.

a friend linked me to this site (NSFW)

some show that DOAX2 texture edits.

although I have my old method of getting textures in and out of the TPR. I do not know where the transparancy flags are..

I'm trying to find any additional tools on DOAX2.

[gjinka]

What about DOA4? I couldn't find any tools for it

[mariokart64n]

format wise doax2 and doa4 are almost the same. most doa4 tools or doax2 tools are interchangeable.

[gjinka]

Ive heard the opposite somewhere, and noesis has importer for doax2, but doesnt mention doax4 in the description.
btw, where are the clothes in doax2? Are they in different format? My guess is since swimsuits can be used by different bodies, so they maybe contain multiple "morph shapes".

[mariokart64n]

theres like a few height variations, but this time around all the girls share the same breast size.

and as for noesis, I dont think MrAdult had samples for doa4, so thats why theres no support for it.. although in turn they are the same format.. doax2 has different vertextype or strides. otherwise they are identical formats.

[mariokart64n]

I only use readbyte and readfloat in maxscript.. doesn't get any simpler than that i'm afraid.

[gjinka]

I dont know what you mean by vertextype or stride. does that mean the importer for noesis will need a slight modification.
And in what afs are the swimsuits?

[mariokart64n]

thats a silly question, theres are 2 afs files that are like werone and wertwo ... the others are fairly simple to figure out, like stg or bgm.. O_o werone probably means swim wear one

[gjinka]

Is it? I got only werone.afs (only 300 mb) and I cant access anything inside it, maybe its corrupt.
I used this tool to extract from ISO: http://www.tacoban.eu/cxboxtool/cxboxtutorial.htm
what did you use?

[brienj]

First, go to, http://xbox-scene.com/tools/tools.php?page=isotools, to guarantee it's virus free.

Then scroll down to Qwix and download that.

Their website is not up anymore, so instead of Googling for a download and potentially getting a virus infested one, go to that page to get it. But Qwix is the best iso management program for the original Xbox.

[mariokart64n]

i can just FTP to the 360.. anyone into modding should have a hacked jtag 360. :\

[gjinka]

assume i have a x360 iso legally and try to answer on how to extract x360 isos.

[mariokart64n]

huh? your wording there is a bit awkward O_o i'm not sure what you just asked there???

but assuming you just asked about how to get files from a pirated game (ISO)
um.. just use wx360... this guy made a whole set of useful 360 tools

[brienj]

I thought he was talking about a DOA game that was only on the original Xbox, meaning he needs an Xbox iso extractor, not a 360 one, because I haven't found any 360 tool that works on original Xbox isos.
