Forza Motorsport Resource Extraction (.carbin)

[Ernegien]

I just wanted to confirm that it is indeed laid out that way. Thanks for your help man, it's much appreciated as always. This stuff really isn't my forte, but at least I'm learning something new everyday

[TomWin]

what a great work! game tools are gonna be ready before the game is released hehe

[matt55]

That's fantastic job man! The game isn't ready yet, but we got a ready script to open cars! Can't wait to play with Sesto Elemento..

@Ernegien: Will your Forza Studio use the scale of the models to the same size as FM3 models? Or will it export the new size FM4 uses?

[MMWsmokey]

that looks very good indeed, can you give us an ETA by any chance on when we can get our hands on the new studio ? cant wait !

[TomWin]

what about UV map? does it read already correct?

I would assume that the scale has remained unchanged throughout every release, but if not, I'm sure I could easily make some adjustments...

Well, there's still some things I haven't completely looked into yet. I haven't mapped out the new header format in its entirety, so right now I'm just specifying a static address in the file to start reading from. I also briefly glanced at the lod 1-5 carbin format and noticed some slight changes, so I'll need to dig more into that as well. I'm hoping to have a little free time over the weekend to address some of these things, but as always, I'm not making any promises...

EDIT: Below is a link to download an unsupported version of what I've been working with to research the new file formats. At most, it is currently only capable of loading the main lod0 and cockpit files, and likely won't load all of them due to minor differences I've yet to find. The regular lod1-5 carbin file format has changed quite a bit, so I'll need to redo the code for that, but so far it has been pretty simple to manually walk through the file in a hex editor. To keep it simple, you should be able to open a car zip and it will attempt to load all it can...

I would assume so, but I have yet to actually confirm this...

I think Ernegien was enough clear about lod1-5. It doesnt work yet because there is a difference between FM4 and FM3.

Loading lod0 and cokcpit works fine. I didnt try export yet

EDIT: exported, everything ok, but UV map is a big mess so far

[D1Racer]

Yup exports great apart from the UV Mapping, Good news too, seems LOD0 can be edited without getting all messed up At least with the models I've tried. And scale is the same as the FM3 models.

Thank you !
That is very nice progress. Indeed LOD0 and Cockpit LOD0 carbin's load fine and can be exported to obj, although without UV mapping it seems. Materials file is being created and seems to be correct. very promising i think

On a related note, forza 4 ntsc version is available for download now

[bigBear]

Great progress, Energien en revelation!
You both makes it able to for FM4 cars.
I'd like to donate you some money for what you have done!
Really awesome.


And now, I don't know what happened but it seems FM4 full game has been released haha.
Well, actually released on the internet.

The start is using Google.
So googling to forza 4 ntsc is a good start.
