And how to unpack the *.mdl file

please help me

Some small patch to Kotcrab's great Noesis script from here: https://github.com/kotcrab/fate-explorer/releases

vita-sv0000-mdl.jpg

Some extra faces which I did not have the time to fix.
(Would need 2 or 3 more model samples to check if the patch is sufficient.)

Thank you very much for your reply and help

thanks! Here are the changes to patch into the original script;

####################################################################

This is the most important change for VITA models; the vxstEntryCount is located 8 bytes earlier (reading 0x10 bytes instead of 0x18):

Code: Select all

        vxstEntryCount = []
        for _, des in enumerate(vxstList):
            bs.seek(des.offset + self.nearOffset, NOESEEK_ABS)
            bs.readBytes(0x10)

Then additional vertexStrides to be inserted (you might insert 19 and 27 and see if it improves anything). The UV1BufferOfs
should be (vertexStride -4 ) for HalfFloats; but pay attention that it's constant (0x18) / doesn't follow the rule in the original code from vstride= 32 and above.

So it was a bit wild guessing; choosing 0x1B for vStride=31 made sense to me (but not tested); for vStride=35 I just decremented 0x18 (for vStride=36) to 0x17; but not sure.

Replace the lines in the original script from
"if vertStride == 24:" to elif vertStride == 36: by

Code: Select all

            if vertStride == 20:  # 
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x10)
            if vertStride == 23:  #
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x13)
            elif vertStride == 24:  # 0xC, 0x10 unk floats
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x14)
            elif vertStride == 28:  # 0xC, 0x10, 0x14 unk floats
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x18)
            elif vertStride == 31:  # 
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x1B)
            elif vertStride == 32:  # 0xC, 0x10, 0x14 unk floats, 0x1C unk
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x18)
            elif vertStride == 35:  # 
                rapi.rpgBindPositionBuffer(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_FLOAT, vertStride)
                rapi.rpgBindUV1BufferOfs(vertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_HALFFLOAT, vertStride, 0x17)
            elif vertStride == 36:

For the additional faces: as I said, don't have the time to fix this.

Anyways, HTH

The script can work with the vita model
Not perfect but still thank you very much for your help

I added support for PS Vita models based on this. New script also works on Fate/Extella Link models.

https://github.com/kotcrab/fate-explore ... g/mdl-v1.2

Hello, I am trying to apply materials to the MDL files of fate extella link, when I go into noesis my model has 7 materials, all of which have textures, but aren't linked for some odd reason.

you guys! Why not just print out the texture path in Noesis?
It uses ".mxt" as texture extension.
If your extension is different for whatever reason then change it, like such:

Code: Select all

            for sstv in sstvList:
                def getTexPath(extension):
                    texPath = self.stringBank[sstv.texPathSid]
                    texNormalizedName = path.splitext(path.basename(texPath))[0]
                    #texFinalPath = rapi.getDirForFilePath(rapi.getInputName()) + texNormalizedName + extension
                    texFinalPath = rapi.getDirForFilePath(rapi.getInputName()) + texNormalizedName + ".png"
                    #print("TexFinalPath: ", cnt, " ", texFinalPath)
                    if rapi.checkFileExists(texFinalPath):  # check in current dir first
                        return texFinalPath, texNormalizedName

Works for me:

So what do I do with this, add it to the python script? I tried that, and nothing happened

[shakotay2]

Uncomment thsi line (delete the #):
#print("TexFinalPath: ", cnt, " ", texFinalPath)
to find out what your problem might be.
In
def registerNoesisTypes():
this line's required: noesis.logPopup()

yeah, sorry, forgot that I added more lines:

Code: Select all

        cnt= 0
        for mate in materialInfo:

...

                cnt = cnt + 1
                if texFinalPath is None:
                    continue

Take care of correct indents; and use blanks or tabs but no mixing

I'm still struggling trying to figure out what to do with this, and where it should go :c

[shakotay2]

what do you mean?

search for the line "for mate in materialInfo:" in the script
and put the line cnt=0 before it.

search for the line "if texFinalPath is None:" in the script; there's two occurences;
put the line
cnt = cnt + 1
before the one which is followed by "continue".

Or, even simpler, just use
print("TexFinalPath: ", texFinalPath)
(should do the trick, the "cnt" is not that important)

Ok, I did it exactly like I think you are saying it goes, and I get this now

[shakotay2]

dunno, what's going wrong there-
Maybe you should follow Kotcrab's tip:

If you want textures automatically loaded in Noesis you just need to open .mdl file from original extract directory without renaming or moving anything.
