Martial Empires / Seven Souls

[CriticalError]

thanks a lot for the great support but I get problem when try import in MAX 9,2009,2010.

[finale00]

Here's my guess so far for some BSB files (samples were less than 10 kb)
From the filenames, it appears they contain scenery assets like trees stones and architectures. I don't know what some of the floats could represent. The extent of my knowledge so far is limited to coords, faces, UV's, and normals. Transformations, weights, bones, material properties, and so on are out of my reach.

A couple files already don't follow what I have so far. Probably some of the unknowns explain this.

Works for a couple bsb's, fails for a lot of others. At least I know I'm getting somewhere.

"tree_0124.bsb"

EDIT: can load more bsb's now:

http://i.imgur.com/gLskE.jpg

Note1: there may be multiple meshes in a single bsb file. Still looking for the mesh count.
note2: there are two different vertsizes: 56 and 44. Haven't found when they occur. "prop_ex01.bsb" contains vertsize 44 while most others contain vertsize 56

Note3: Not all materials use mask and normal textures (not sure what they're for). There doesn't appear to be any way to figure this out beforehand. We can probably take advantage of the charCount, knowing that there should be at least 5 characters to qualify as a texture name, but it could just as easily be a model with many materials that don't use masks or normal texture..

Note4: the material section really is odd. There are a couple odd ones out that I just can't seem to figure out the pattern. It almost looks as if some of them have multiple material sections...

Note5: although it parses large files successfully, the face count is way off. Not sure why.

This thing looks like it has multiple material sections o.O

Is that common in 3D objects? If not, what could it represent (besides...corrupt data)

I might treat the first number in the highlighted section as "# material sections" and then do a loop over that. That's pretty much one of the main issues for small files

EDIT: that definitely does seem to be the number of material sections. I don't know what that means.

yes I know g0.bnd are is bone I think, but in folder are not files with this name just .msh for weapons, and for characters in another folder called bindd are bnd files but for characters not for weapon so what I do wrong man, can you tell me? because when get this error the model are imported there, but when try import another need restart max

[finale00]

Well, it does say the script is to import models with bones and weights.
Though, one can assume the format is similar for unskinned models so one might use chrrox's script as reference.

I don't know really what I do wrong guys, this make me crazy T_T

[finale00]

I mean, you won't be able to load weapons because as you've pointed out, they don't have certain files

I get error with all files, just show a example with weapons but characters have bones and files are there can't get too, anyway thanks for reply

Finale the Chroxxx script have trobles and not work fine, maybe u can made one for Noesis man? thanks.

[finale00]

Needs samples.
Someone should put together a sample repository where all samples go so I can just go there for samples.

EDIT: well, here's the start of it since I don't have textures or the associated skeleton file

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7stlpd4qvkq3 ... uls_msh.py



Note that the file check ASSUMES the filename is the original filename, because the first 4 bytes is an integer equal to the number on that file.

I also noticed that I posted some bsb samples for the map assets, so I looked at it again with those samples:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7stlpd4qvkq3 ... uls_bsb.py

Does not load the entire model yet, since one mesh struct seems different from another.
I don't actually know what that "extra" mesh after the first mesh is. It looks like the first mesh is enough for most purposes

Textures don't look right (UV is a big mess).
Maybe I'm not reading the right ones.

[Rimbros]

This man made the plugin in 10 minutes for Noesis, , Thanks finale its a greath job.
Tomorrow i startmade a game samples repository.

[finale00]

Chrrox already wrote the maxscript so the format just needs to be parsed in a different language.

[finale00]

msh script updated. Changed the file check to remove all non-digit characters rather than assume the format of the string. Now it should correctly check any of the msh files. After looking at how the data is stored, my plan is to have you copy all of the textures, in their original folders (normal, mask, texture) into the mesh folder. Then I can just assume that's where they are.

The mesh-texture assignment is stored in the "texture-info.txt" file. It is huge, and contains information for all meshes in that particular folder. I'm looking for a way to avoid having to keep selecting that file again and again whenever you want to view a new model.

bsb script updated.
Figured out where the mesh count is, and what the extra stuff at the end is also ("extra meshes" apparently)

It looks like all of the map assets such as buildings, dungeons, and basically entire cities/villages are stored across several bsb files.

Still some files with unknown mesh structs though.
Each vertex is 56 bytes. Some of these meshes would say they have 20 vertices, and so you read 20 vertices. Then they might have another 400k bytes of unknown floats, followed by say 36 faces.

Not sure what those random chunks of bytes are.





Attached two such examples that are breaking the script
