All this beautiful work.. oh if you had only showed me this months ago, I'd have fainted! So happy to see this come to fruition.

The other thing that i like is you can import the driver model not many games can be imported like forza and are sitted

I'm sorry these files caused a crash?
I tested a few everything was ok, but missing some geo because they nest some model structures

Added a recurring loop to grab that geo, also added name support. please test

Thanks i can import the calipers/discs and tires/rims

Looks like the whole GENKI CLUB have gathered
It's currently 00:40 at my place. Just shut my pc off after playing lots of neptunia rebirth1. I'll try the script once i wake up @mariokartn64n . Also @KarinFutoGT, thanks for the bug report . I also tried importing akio's driver model. He looks as handsome as he should be in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune series (arcade game by Namco Bandai)

And lol @argonaut . Me too still can't believe that this came into fruition. All thanks to nfm for learning hex and made an extractor, and mariokart64n for making the maxscript

Okay, so i tried importing AREA_ZZ_00.GTF.XTD, AREA_ZZ_01.GTF.XTD, and AREA_ZZ_02.GTF.XTD .
AREA_ZZ_00.GTF.XTD contains Normal textures (or Bump Maps), while the 01 and 02 contains map related textures. 01 and 02 contains 555 textures, while 00 contains 87 bump map textures. In case someone doesn't know, bump map texture is the texture which is all purple, used for adding 3d-like details on lower polygon models (that's afaik).

I'm currently trying to experiment by importing one model of C1's road (AREA_C1_ROAD_MDL_000.GRID) which contains these textures after importing of model and dumping of textures :


And if someone is curious, i don't work on my models in max. I work on them in zmod, but i see no difference on trying to apply texture to each material in max and zmod (again, afaik). I'll try applying textures for the roads. If there are missing textures, then that means more bug report.

I've made another research, and found out a very VERY BIG problem.

Good news is : the new maxscript was able to import model with proper file name for every object.

Bad news is : dumped texture files are named like their source, instead of their REAL texture name. For example : AREA_00_XX_tex01.dds instead of ROAD.dds

Another bad news is : Material names are wire_xxxxxxxxx (9 digit numbers), instead of their real material names (e.g. "wire_006135006" instead of "wall")

With these problems, i can only think of these following solution :
1. Have the textures named as they should be (e.g. Wall.dds, C1.dds, Kandabashi.dds, hazard.dds, barrier.dds, etc)
2. Have the model materials named properly (e.g. Wall, C1, Kandabashi, hazard, barrier, etc)
3. Have the maxscript import map models with textures already applied

Another thing, i imported AREA_C1_BUIL_CUT_C1_AKA_000.GRID, which is highly possible, one of the buildings of C1, and no textures are dumped from the AREA_C1_BUIL_CUT_C1_AKA_000.GRID file. I know i said this before, but if the new maxscript can import the building models along with textures automatically applied like Chipicao's unity importer maxscript, it'll save hours, or days, or weeks, or even months of texture searching and manual apply.

That ends another bug report. Contact me if something is unclear.

sorry I don't know how to decode the material data, since there is alot of nesting and both internal and external texture calls.
the problem is there ARE NO TEXTURE NAMES in the texture files, everything is locally indexed within the model data.

anyway on the brighter side, I found a bug that was causing some missing textures do to the nesting.

here this script should dump more textures now

ooh nice a lot better thank you

Oookay...
That means there's extra work for applying texture for maps
Or is the new maxscript import the model with textures already applied? I can't try it now. I'm currently on school (recess actually)
Judging from KarinFutoGT's pic, looks like the exhaust is already textured (cmiiw)

Looks like more problems started to appear.
Since trying to convert shutokou models would be a pain in the a with our current status, i tried converting Yatabe Circuit (TEST_CRS) to see if all textures are extracted or not. While suddenly, i stumbled upon this texture while browsing all textures that i have extracted :



It seems that should be the missing grass texture. Here's a picture of all textures extracted from the GTF.XTD files of TEST_CRS (bump map textures not included)



And this is in game picture of an RX-7 running on Yatabe Circuit :



From the in-game picture, you can see that the sides are green (which is using grass texture, that is not on the previous image)

While on the other haaand... Seems like part of the map uses the same materials like trees (cmiiw)
See this picture below :



Guess there's still more problems to fix. Hope you don't mind it
That ends another bug report. Converting the shutokou map to another game is still far from reach with this progress tbh

Sorry to disturb once again. Even more :



Using the new script, i imported the Skyline R34, and this happened. Exhaust and plate uses the same material. Just asking if there's something that can be done to fix this. Is all
And sorry for the big pictures. I thought it's necessary for research purpose.

Errr... I guess there's a high probability that textures could be extracted with proper file names and not to mention the models containing proper material names. I accidentally found this when importing few C1 files with the latest script :



Any thoughts? Try giving this a peek mariokart64n

Textures aren't allready textured at least for me the pic is for the program 3Dsimed, i'm trying to open the parts one by one and changing the material name, the uv map is correct for everything except the body but maybe is for some shader at game, who knows...

You mean, even maps can be opened in 3DSimEd? If the material name and texture name matches, it'll make things easier.
I used 3DSimEd alot back then to extract NFS Shift and DIRT models, but can it really work with wangan midnight files? o_o
How did you do it?

3Dsmax to .obj with groups, import the .obj with zmodeler 2.2.6 996 build as groups, export multiple .gmt "rFactor1" format and then edit the materials.
