[Request] Cabela's Dangerous Hunts - 2013 .msh Format

[TheMask85]

the animals in this game look gorgeous and would be great to have
in a common 3D format such as .fbx (if there's even bone support possible).

there's a script for quickbms which can be found here.
source: http://www.extractor.ru/ipb/index.php?showtopic=8588
to extract the conent of the game from the .CRF container file.

however, now that these files can be extracted, i'd like to know if there's
someone around here who might have a look into the mesh files.
for a possible import into 3DSMax, Blender, Noesis or C4D via script or plugin.
i know the most talented people are around here, so i try my luck.

here's a sample containing 4 animals from the game. (extracted files)

thanks for your time.

Since there's PC version of the game, I guess you could get models with Ninja Ripper or GA. Did you try them? As for .msh format, it's structure almost understandable. Though I didn't find bones info there.

thanks for the quick reply.
well i tried Ninja-Ripper but it's spitting out the model with very wrong texture coordinates.
i tried a lot of varieties in 3DSMax with the UV Coordinates. none of the settings seems to work.
the Ninja Ripper Noesis plugin also only gives wrong texture coordinates.
as for GA, i've only found a japanese version once. and my "eastern language skill" is ... non existent.
isn't the bone information for the Anubis model (for example) stored in the "papio_anubis_skeleton.msh"
or the "papio_anubis_skeleton.scn" instead of the "papio_anubis.msh"? just wondering.
so i was hoping someone could get the models with bones intact, since hours and hours of re-rig
every single model could be avoided that way.
looks promising so far, though. so you were able to get it into max? good work!

here's another Sample with skins included and their searchpath to the specific meshes

First off the .msh files that have the name skeleton in them are for the xray vision models. The real bones are in the regular .msh files.

Here is a quickbms script I made to convert the animal .MSH files (not tested on humans):

YOU MUST RESCALE THE UVS DOWN ALOT (there are so big you will not see them)
Use the script as follows, making sure you ONLY use the version of quickbms found here (versions on other sites are too old):
http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

When you use the script you MUST use it with the microsoft windows command prompt IT WILL NOT work by double clicking quickbms.exe. Also the w in -w must be lowercase! No Asian characters or spaces in the path names. Place stuff in the appropriate folders.
Use the script as follows on one command.
C:\dh2013\quickbms.exe -w C:\dh2013\DH2013MSHto3dsUV.bms C:\dh2013\wolfboss.msh C:\dh2013\output

thank you so much! i will have a look at this. should be very useful!

Here are some scripts for the WII version of this game:
Use this to extract the CRS files (The WII version uses the .CRS extension)
http://ps23dformat.wikispaces.com/file/ ... 3andHE.bms
Then use this script to convert the WMH files into .3ds files with UV coords:
http://ps23dformat.wikispaces.com/file/ ... o3dsUV.bms

[joqqy]

I have added a quick fix for the big UV problem in the PC version.

After you import the model into 3DS Max, select the object, chose the preset and press the button and the UVs will be properly resized and moved.

Nice work. By the way the textures are all .DDS. Also for anyone that wants to make mods:
Extract ALL of the .CRF files into the same directory as dh_2013_demo.exe (or the .exe file from the full game).
Then delete archive_list.rmf
The game will then load the extracted files, which you can then mod. I have been changing the .AI, and switching animals. I want to eventually switch the player model with an animal model, and switch the animal models with hunter models. I got the AI switched so that the player uses animal AI.
I want to also enable the debug menu, but it seems to have been removed.
