star wars : starfighter .pmdl models

[CZW]

a quick test with the new plugin from Unwrap3D

[Acewell]

So many import options to choose from now! Thanks everyone!

On this website, I have found an unpacker for Star Wars Starfighter.
http://gamefileformats.netfirms.com/

Star Wars Starfighter unpacker 1.0
http://gamefileformats.netfirms.com/fil ... ak-1.0.zip

You can extract the .msh/mtl files from the (packed) .pmdl file like this:
sfdepak.exe neutralfreighter.pmdl

since that webpage is gone here is a local backup of the pak/pmdl unpacker

sfdepak-1.0.zip

and this is the archived webpage where the tool used to be downloaded from

agree , Ace ...

but the sfdepack , fail on many .pmdl files , like cruisers, capital ships ....
we need to find a new way to unpack them correctly .. since now we can import them perfectly ....

@ Wobble ...
i don't think the .mdl file is read ...
i have do a quick test, delete the .mdl file , and import the .msh file...
with or without .. i have the same 3D position ....
i have redo the test, with text modifications into the .mdl file .. nothing change during the import of the model ...

the sfdepak maybe don't unpack and read perfectly the .pmdl file
maybe we need a better extractor ...

with the correct color code:

on some models:

the Toth Fighter
right and left canons are set to the middle into the cockpit, instead the right position close to the wings

the DeathBoat
the top turret and canon aren't in right position ...

coupe of others models, have some wrong position of parts

[Acewell]

Update your plugin and see how they look. The toth fighter side barrels look correct now and the deathboat looks ok to me though i don't quite remember where the location of the top turret is supposed to be.

i use the last version of the plugin ... still the same ...
laserturrets left and right, are always under the cockpit instead on wings ...



same problems , for turrets, canons on some models

ChemBomber , wrongs positions of wings



correct position:

Those are fixed in latest plugin update.
