Update: The game engine is pretty flexible. Deleting the Animation.kfs file disables all the animations, putting the models in T-Pose. However, any specific game action like NPC interaction freeze's it up.

So geometry capturing with GA or 3DR is possible.

I suspect you are talking about the remake of King's Bounty, called: King's Bounty: The Legend. As I'm a big fan of Might&Magic universe I'll follow this topic. But can help right now, as I'm very busy with june exams and want to finnish cmp images for darkfox before.

Anyway best luck with this.

P.D: I couldn't analyze those models cause rapidshare is always "already taken" in my student's residence.

[AceAngel]

Yep, thats the game, corrected it, been a M&M fan myself for a while.

Uploaded a smaller sample in the Topic Post.

Also, another thing. Geometry ripping with GA and 3DR during gameplay is no go. For some reason, during combat the rippers freeze, but work normally with the 'world' models.

I did a SilkRoad-Online(SRO) maxscript years ago! I think the source code had lost but I just found the maxscript!

So if you are lucky you should be able to import BMS mesh into 3DSMax! Should works with MAX3+ version!

PS: Don't ask me for any further, I don't interested anymore and I am busy ATM!

Good Luck!

Wow, fatduck! I did extreme research on Google for the SRO converters/importers and never saw this one. Extremely useful, thank you! Bones, here I come!

Update: Tested fatducks importer on KBL, it says "Invalid Integer".

[Balder]

So the formats are different. But they may be only slightly different. If fatduck has 5 minutes he can take a look at it to determine thos divergences, I think.

[fatduck]

Unfortunately, 5 mins is not enough for this format!

This format is completely different form SRO, although the file extension are the same!!! (Same engine but upgraded version??)

From what I can tell, they use long integer(4-bytes) as chunk header!?

0x5535B is material.

0x867C6B is vertices data, each vert is 24 bytes each! The first 6 bytes are 3 short integer for the XYZ coordinates.

0x141FB is face indices, in word format, 3 indices per faces!

0xAA057 is collision/LOD data?

0x50E957 is collision/LOD face indices, same as face indices.

0xA1EB17 is collision/LOD vertices, only 12 bytes each, again the first 6 bytes are XYZ coordinates.

These shoud give you enough infos. for 3D models conversion!

[AceAngel]

Update, I found another game which is from the same company and uses the same files! Dawn of Magic 2.

I decided to upload them as well incase someone takes a stab at them. Once I get Armored Princess, I'm sure I'll upload a sample from them too incase something else did change.

Files in attachment.

Nice!

Thanks alot mate for taking time on it. Much appreciated, especially with the whole bells and whistles (bones).

Thank you very much my kind sir.

EDIT: Forgot to ask, what type of models don't open up? Are they random or specific file size?

I have the same error executing the script in line 26

Code:
Draw.PupBlock("bma files",block)

Is there a reason/solution for this?

EDIT:

Nevermind, I got it to work,

I'm not sure why it resolved itself, but after re-installing blender 2.49 and double-clicking the .blend file itself to open blender it worked.

[Szkaradek123]

Error: line 26 .
Please check console:
If there is "ValueError: sequence cannot have more than 120 elements" ,
please to have no more than 120 files in one folder.

[Modman69]

Thank You,

Now I got it!
