Thanks to Ekey for the Castlevania LOS 2 Demo ".packed" archive script. The textures are just plain old .dds files. The models have been changed somewhat from Castlevania LOS format.

Here is a link to some of the .msh files from the characters and levels. Support in Noesis would be unbelievably cool. The files are from the XBox360 version for no other reason than it was easier to get. The PS3 and Xbox archives are about the same size so I'm guessing there's not much difference in the texture resolutions.

I added the Mercury Steam Engine 2 (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2) *.MSH loader module to the 3D Object Converter and I uploaded this version to my web page:

I did not find the material assignments, but my loader program generates a default material to all subobjects.


You can add the texture file to the material table by hand using the following procedure:
- open the .msh file
- click on the Object, Bone, Material selector on the toolbar (from right the 1st icon on the toolbar)
- click on the Materials line
- right click on the Material* line
- browse the texture file. (The texture files must be in same directory than the geometry files) .
- OK

- (Click on the textured view icon.)

Excellent work, thanks Karpati. I have tested the updated 3D Object Converter and a few of the levels give a "stream read" error or loading, but it works perfectly with all of the character/object models. Thanks!!

I did not know that your sample file package have several .msh files in the levels directory.
I did find an unhandled vertex format and I modified my .msh loader module a little bit.

I don't have this game, but can you send some sample .msh files to [email protected] ?

Hi Karpati, I have sent you a pm

Can someone send me model samples from final PC version of the game? I wrote maxscript with bones+weights support for final PS3/Xbox 360 versions of the game, I want to check PC version too. Thanks

Thank you for your great sample files.

I tracked down what was the problem:
The XBOX and the PC version are using different byte order in the .msh files (it is a simple, but classical problem.)

I modified my .msh loader module a little bit and I uploaded it to my web page:

Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot for PC samples, works great. Format is the same as for Xbox-360/PS3 versions As Karpati said, PC version just using different byte order

Is this possible to do for LOS2? it works for los1, reverie and ressurection ps3 files! As you can see you did this once and this is a really nice feature. I requested this a long time ago! In LOS2 almost all dds textures are located in other folders than the model foldres so its hard to track down dds files, but in this way it is easy to see exactly what the name of the dds texture file is. if this is possible to make again, then, please make it so. Thank You!!!
