succesfull modded MK9 textures help creating QUICKBMS SCRIPT

[darksoul]

okay the things i posted earlier i deleted

so heres what im going try to do now

i want to make a bms script for the texture2d files and convert them to .dds dxt5 files
texture2d files from CHAR files can be obtained useing the tools from gildor ,Unreal Package Extractor
when you extract a CHAR file you will get a map with the same name as the CHAR file you extracted
in there is a map called textures this is where the .texture2d files are located

looking at the texture2d files i figured how the are put together and what pixel format it uses namely .dds dxt5 with mipmaps
i already edited succesfully the textures and replaced them back into the texture2d but all useing a hex editor,so i want to make this absolete by making a script for quickbms and i know that with the latest version you can also use the same script as a reimporter.

now im going to tell here how the texture2d are put together and how i was able to edit them in photoshop
first there are 4 major textures for characters which are _diff.texture2d _normalHQA.textur2d _spec.texture2d and _pmsk.texture2d and characters also have damage textures which are called DMG_diff.texture2d DMG_normalHQA.textur2d DMG_spec.texture2d and DMG_pmsk.texture2d plus more textures like for hair or weapons stuff like that,but i edited the _diff.texture2d in photoshop so i could change the colors like for skarlet and made her blue in stead of red






so im going to use the _diff.texture2d as an example (the other texture2d files are put togheter in the same way so)

first 100 bytes of a _diff.texture2d file

Code: Select all

00 00 06 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 06 19 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 02 F4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FB 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 07 00 00 04 D2 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 13 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 05 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 CD 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 04 67 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FB 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 05 09 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 FB 60 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 D3 FB 70 00 00 00 0B 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 D3 FB 84 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 49 4A C7 39 BF BF 1D 3D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 84 24 21 5E 5E 5E 5E 00 00

everything is in endian big and everything is 4 bytes long


so when we go to 0xCA in a hex editor you will the number of textureblocks 00 00 00 0B

then you will get a NULL 00 00 00 00

then you will get 00 10 00 00 2 times which is the size of the first texture block

after that you get 00 D3 FB 84 which is an offset specific for the CHAR_file but not relevant if i want to just convert the texture2d to a dds dxt5

after the offset begins the textureblock which is 00 10 00 00 long in hex

so jumping 00 10 00 00 further with the hex editor you will get

Code: Select all

00 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 E3 FB 9C

first 4 bytes after the first textureblock is 00 00 04 00=1024 which is the height of the texture
2nd 4bytes is also 00 00 04 00=1024 which is the width of the texture
then you will get a NULL 00 00 00 00
and then you will get filesize for the 2nd textureblock within the texture2d 2 times again 00 04 00 00
and then again an offset before the 2nd textureblock begins 00 E3 FB 9C which is again specific for the CHAR file

so this will go on 11 times 00 00 00 0B

what i did is i took out all the the textureblocks and placed them togehter in the same order put a dds dxt5 header above it.

the dds header and texture for the texture2d can easily be obtainted for the correct width and height.

i used umodel (also from gildor) for the char_...xxx files and when useing (for ps3) the commands -nomesh -noanim -ps3 -export you will also get a map called texture2d in there are the textures only in .tga just convert the .tga to .dds dxt5 and then we already have the dds header in the correct size(witdh and height)

it opens in photoshop (dds plugin) loaded it without mipmaps,edited it saved it again as a dds dxt5 with generate mipmaps and put it back again with hex
editor

the sizes of the textureblocks will be the same as the mipmaps ,1st was 00 10 00 00 so selected first 00 10 00 00 hex (1048576 bytes) (-.dds header))of the dds and swapped it in the texture2d then the next 00 04 00 00 and so on



the .texture2d is actually the same as a .dds dxt5 format with mipmaps only the texture2d puts the mipmaps seperatly in with width,height and size2x (and a offset specific for within the char...xxx file)


so now that i explained how its put together,i want to make a bms script for making the texture2d into a dds and edit it,and then use the reimport option of quickbms to reimport

ive been trying to make scripts but with no luck,i find it hard to understand,i know it can be made i saw the topic of chroxx and uncharted2 that he made a script for making a file of uncharted2 into a .dds file.

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6901&p=56077&hilit=quickbms#p56077

so any help here is much appreciated



here are the textures and the diff texture i used in the example

[darksoul]

so here is a script i made thus far

Code: Select all

goto 0xCA

endian big 

get files long

for i = 0 < FILES

get null02 long

get unk03 long

get size long

get NAME long

savepos OFFSET

getDstring OFFSET size

get WIDTH long 

get HEIGHT long

Log NAME OFFSET SIZE

next i

which gives me

Code: Select all

  offset   filesize   filename

  00000000 16         12992329

- 11 files found in 0 seconds

so what am i doing wrong here ?,i got files and filesizes right,but every file starts at offset 00000000

how can i change that to get the right offset for the right file,tried several things but keep getting same error

[Itze]

Sorry i can't help with this but awesome work so far. Nice that you kept trying

Hopefully chrox or some other hexwizard will come to help

thnx itze

i initially first posted a new topic just for help

but when no one helps you out with knowledge of scripts and quickbms ,with exception of a few people,you have to find things out for your self,its also the best way to learn new stuff

anyways got a little bit progress on the script

Code: Select all

goto 0xCA

endian big 

get files long

for i = 0 < FILES

get null long

get unk long

get size long

get unk1 long

savepos block

savepos OFFSET

getdstring block unk

get WIDTH long

get HEIGHT long

log "" OFFSET SIZE 

next i

which gives me

Code: Select all

  offset   filesize   filename

- 11 files found in 0 seconds

which means i now have extracted the mipmaps/textures correctly,but all seperatly,so i must now let it extract as 1 file togehter and with a .dds header above it.
so now looking further into quickbms.

now the texture2d extracts as a .dds ,but it will not work on all the texture2d files e.g normhqa and more(different offsets)

Thanks to the info provided by darksoul, I've managed to add support in X-Packer for MK9 files. Download the latest version from my site.

[Itze]

as charly sheen would say: WINNING!

thanks to you guys we can basically texture mod every unreal engine game now without texmod

[Itze]

guess i spoke a bit too soon...

this is how the xpacker converted diff texture looks if used from a 360 package (i've used the alternative costume of sonya):

here is the already decompressed character file:

would be nice if you could xpacker to work with the 360 version too

the desizzling problem has been solved and a new version of my app has been released which supports the xbox version.

[interloko]

i'm not sure if this helps you but new version of umodel can export textures in dds format

Thanks, but I've already solved the issue.
