I'm not fully convinced I've got everything I need to get his going, could someone point me in the right direction or even just tell me how to get this to work, basically I want to change textures of some of the dinosaurs, so if I can extract the current textures to edit, I think it'll be a good start.
thanks.

Open run it in a cmd (type: python ovl_tool_gui.py) to see what error occurs; you probably did not follow the instructions correctly.

Here is the truck to the new DLC if anyone wants to take a look at it. I tried Model Researcher, cant seem to find the algorithm.

I was able to decompress the file using Barbasol. It crashes or does something and just produces a .DAT file.
Here is that file.

Our tool (link posted by Harlequinz Eg0) works for the latest DLC still. Your RAR is missing the TourTruck.ovs.textures_l1 file, so the tool can not open the OVL archive.

Currently working on getting the tiled detail scales correctly into blender:

Yeah I cant figure it out. Tried for almost 4 hours now.. Nothing but errors.

Could you maybe just open this file for me ?

BTW i do have the textures in the OVL folder. There are 2 files.
Greatly appreciate it.

Hi all,

I was able to get the OVL extractor installed and can successfully extract the MDL2, MS2 and PNG files (yay!). Per my blender add-ons, I've also been able to get them installed and have "checked" them to be enabled.

However, when I try to "import" Cobra or anything similar isn't showing in the available options. Is there something additional I need to do?

Thanks!

Either you haven't checked the box in the addons list to activate them or you're using a wrong blender version? 2.79 only for now, soon to migrate to 2.81. You can get support on this discord: https://discord.gg/3AjAbdZ

Hi, Thank, great job!!!

Perfecto con Planet Zoo
Con JWE tengo un error: "unpack requires a buffer of 4 bytes"

Me puedes ayudar por favor. Muchas gracias.

Update cobra tools to latest release.

updated, but still the same error

Hi all,

I've been having trouble getting the ovl_tool.bat to work. When I first downloaded it and installed Python, every time I tried to run it, I'd get an error saying "This app can't run on your PC". I tried to retrace my steps and reinstalled Python numerous times. The tutorial says to use Python 3.6 or 3.7, I was using 3.8 so I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.7, I still got the same error. And yes I set it to the "path" whenever I tried to reinstall Python.

This morning I once again tried to retrace my steps by watching videos on how to properly install Python, as well as pyqt5 and imageio. I followed each one exactly and now when I try to reopen ovl_tool.bat I don't get the error message, but a command prompt window opens but closes after a second or two. Also when I try to run the file as administrator I get the "This app can't run on your PC" error again. I think another thing I should mention is whenever I try to run Python through the Run app on windows I get the "This app can't run on your PC" error.

All I want to do is increase the size of the Spinosaurus model, that's all. I'm no coder and I have no modding experience. I can't even get to editing models in Blender because I can't access MDL2 files because of these errors. I feel like I've followed every step exactly, but I can't get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this thread isn't the right place to ask about this, where should I go? Sorry if that is a stupid question

If you have installed python with a launcher, you can also double-click the py files directly instead of the bat shortcuts. (for some reason they are no longer 'trusted' by default, lol - used to be different)

If that doesn't do the trick, open a cmd or powershell in the ovl-tools folder and type: python ovl_tool_gui.py
If it doesn't run, you've probably not installed a python dependency, post the whole error log.

Thanks for replying.

I tried what you said in regards to opening a powershell in the folder (cmd isn't listed as an option for some reason.) I typed python ovl_tool_gui.py
and I got this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ovl_tool_gui.py", line 9, in <module>
from pyffi_ext.formats.ovl import OvlFormat
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyffi_ext.formats'

I'm not sure what you mean by a "python dependency". Do you mean pyffi 2.2.4.dev3, pyqt5 and imageio? I installed those, however I think I recall when installed imageio there was something in the message(I don't know proper coding vocabulary) that said something about the path or something. I don't know how to repeat the message.

I installed python with an exe file, Is that what you mean by launcher? Because when I do that a cmd window briefly pops up but disappears. Please excuse my complete noobiness and ignorance on figuring this out. Thank you for your help.

Update:

Good news, I was able to open the ovl_tool.bat. I used another version of cobra tool that I downloaded yesterday. It was simply called "cobra-tools" instead of "cobra-tools-master" in case anyone is wondering.

I was able to load the spino mdl2 file into blender and I seemed to scale it up as I wanted. Now I need to figure out how to actually get it to work in game. I followed the faq on GitHub on exporting it, but instead of applying the changes, it just made a copy of the original file(The unedited version). I'm not sure how you get modded models in game. I know it is really stupid to ask, but any help would really be amazing. Again, I have no modding experience nor am I a 3D modeler, I'm a complete noob on these sort of things

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyffi_ext.formats'

You downloaded the dev branch instead of a release.

Follow the instructions and tutorials, it's all written down.

I just downloaded the pyffi_ext-master file. I was missing that. I'm not sure what to do with it. I didn't see in the tutorials what to do with it and the readme doesn't say what to do with it. I tried putting it in the cobra tools folder and when I open powershell and type "python ovl_tool_gui.py" I get this:

"(null): can't open file 'ovl_tool_gui.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

The file is clearly in the folder, and I'm using cobra-tools-1.4.1. I have no idea what I'm doing...

Update: Never mind. I've figured it out. Disregard my previous messages. Thank you for your help again.

I am unable to open ovl_tool.bat so how do I do it?

Follow the installation instructions.
