[PS3] Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost (2014)

Preview:



Notes:

1. Game uses some messed up cell-shading type shaders.
2. Good luck getting them to look good in Blender, Max, Maya, etc.

Instructions:
1. Create a fresh, empty directory somewhere.
2. Put DATA00.PAC and EXE inside this directory (not in C:\, I said A FRESH NEW DIRECTORY).
3. Right-click on EXE and Run As Administrator (temporary files, folders, etc. need to be created and removed).
4. Answer questions.
5. Wait an hour.
6. Browse DATA00 folder for files. _t are pure texture directories. Other folders contain other stuff.

After answering the questions, the command prompt shows text for a split second then closes. No files written, xentax.exe no longer in my running processes. Any idea what the issue could be?

Yes, I ran as administrator, and yes DATA00.PAC and xentax.exe are the only files in a brand new folder.

I recall reading something about there being several methods of psarc extracting and they don't all produce the same file. I used the "PSARC PS3 Extractor" command line tool. Could that be related?

EDIT: I just tried Total Commander, the extracted file was a totally different size than the other, but same result.

I ran xentax.exe in an administrator command prompt and it stated that it failed to open the file.

[howfie]

to prevent console window from closing, open up a command prompt in windows using

Start > Accessories > Command Prompt

use the "cd" command to navigate to where the EXE and DATA00.PAC are.

type in xentax.exe at the prompt.

what is the error message?

screencaps also help

Ah, yep, I just edited my post, that was my next thought to try as well.

[howfie]

can i see screencap of console window along with your folder window?

BTW, I use a tool called PSARC GUI from aldostools.

[TallgeeseIV]

Ah, ok, just tried that tool, same result:

thank you very much for the ripper howfie !!!!
do you by any chance have a ripper for Another Century`s Episode R ??? there are some really nice models there

[howfie]

You're welcome. And about ACER, no, very sorry; like chrrox, i have entered into a state of semi-retirement lol. Really only doing projects that I know are going to be easy (like this one was similar to Tekken Revolution). Was thinking about doing the Macross 30 one next...

How to use smcimport.py?
I'm a mere beginner.

* Download Blender 2.49b. The script only works for that version because I used Mariusz's scripts as a reference for my own.
* Open a Text Panel in Blender.
* Choose Text > Open (Alt + O).
* Load the scmimport.py script.
* Choose Text > Run Python Script (Alt + P).
* Select script and OK.
* It will ask you for an SMC file. Navigate to one and select it.
* Click OK.
* You now have model.

macross 30 sounds nice too ! looking forward to it !!!!

I only followed orders from howfie, nothing happened.
Could you elaborate on that?
