Noesis script for Guild Wars 2 broken in current Noesis buil

Hey Guys.
So I've got the newest Noesis, I've got the Guild Wars 2 .dat extracted, I've got all the folders with .pf files in them.
However whenever I try to open one of them I get the following errors:
http://puu.sh/gjBVx/7015e80743.png
http://puu.sh/gjBTx/bc05985a6a.png
I'm guessing the way data is handled has changed a little bit.
Could anyone confirm that this works in any build from 2012 at all? And if so, perhaps be able to share a Noesis build from back then, Rich's website doesn't keep older versions it seems.
The script is from here:
https://code.google.com/p/noesis-plugin ... c=svn3&r=3
The files are in the correct place, script written by DemonsAngel.

They most likely changed the model format after beta.

This was the suggestion from Mr Adults (which reminds me I need to share a file or 2 with him).
it was probably written in a buffer-overrunning way and stopped working when I safe-guarded the index/vertex/etc. buffer inputs from Python, if I had to take a random guess.

That was just a blind guess, without having seen the script, the error, or the data. If they changed the actual data as demonsangel suggests, that's your problem.

Yeah its a guess, but hopefully its correct, I've PM'd you the code and some files to take a look at as you mentioned.
If its changed theren theres not much I can do about that I suppose.

Long time ago I wrote script for Guild Wars 2, I looked at Noesis script when I tried this format. Noesis script is half-done as far as I remember, there's a lot things left to cover in order to make it work. Mr.Adults will need to make it from scratch I guess, if he will not finish this game I'll try to find where's mine lol and will post it here if I'll find it

Uhh, I didn't write the Noesis script. And I'm not doing anything from scratch, I've no interest in supporting this game. You're at Demonsangel's mercy.

with this change some pf can be loaded:
Code: Select all
if Format.uv16Mask != -1:
rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertexBuffer, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, Format.vertexSize, Format.uv16Mask)
#if Format.uv16Count >=3: rapi.rpgBindUV2BufferOfs(vertexBuffer, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, Format.vertexSize, Format.uv16Mask+8)
print("matName: %s, vSize: %d, group: %d" %(material.name, Format.vertexSize, Format.group))
if Format.group != -1:
rapi.rpgBindBoneIndexBufferOfs(vertexBuffer, noesis.RPGEODATA_UBYTE, Format.vertexSize ,Format.group, 4)
if Format.weights != -1:
rapi.rpgBindBoneWeightBufferOfs(vertexBuffer, noesis.RPGEODATA_UBYTE, Format.vertexSize, Format.weights, 4)

(doesn't work for skeleton and animation pf)

I haven't touched a model format in over a year and I don't think I still have the files for the format.
Edit: it looks like I was rewriting the script somewhere in 2013 but ragequit because the animation was some kind of stupid granny format.

Sorry to make a useless bump, but I was wondering if there was still any interest in the subject. GW2 has some awesome models, it would be a shame if interest in them were to die.

from time to time I've a look at skeletons in different threads.
Here it's 00009978.pf skeleton file with this mesh contained:
GW2-09978-skel.JPG
(Remember: it's a skeleton file, so the mesh is not too nice.
)
Once I got the skeleton displayed (if so) maybe I'll find another patch for the above mentioned
Noesis python script (v 0.0.7 as of 24.11.12 by Demonsangel)
to make it work with this small pf. (But it's of very low priority for me.)
Had some troubles getting the zero-terminated bonenames 'til I realized they are expanded for DWORD alignment:
if ((cnt%4)!=0) { cnt /= 4 ; cnt++ ; cnt *= 4 ; }
edit: I checked for the skeleton (hierarchy built manually, may be errorness), have some odds with rotations.
Clavicles and Shoulders share
the same position, same with Hips and Knees (don't understand it).
The py scripts points to a bonemap that reads like this:
6 14 11 12 9 10 2 4 19 20 25 22 32 28 31 27 24 23 21
I've added actionpoint:LeftHand/Righthand but the resulting skeleton doesn't "convince" me.
It could be helpful if someone sent me an
old pf (skeleton) file which is loaded correctly by Demonsangle's script.
Otherwise I don't think that I'll waste more time on this.
