Re: Archive X
MDA - Any progress on the Ghost Recon Online work? I just remembered that the game had that awesome Ghost Recon/Assassin's Creed crossover armor. I'd be overjoyed to get my hands on it.

Re: Archive X
Finally got my PC back and I am finishing up re-installing key software. So, an update may be coming soon, possibly before the end of the year.
As for GRO, having some issues locating the proper X,Y,Z info. But I am getting closer and may be able to get that into the next update as well.
Thanks for your support,

Re: Archive X
Hi MichaelDarkAngel! Thanks for all the work you've been doing on AC 4 .forge format extractor. I have a bunch of small questions:
1. Is it possible to extract shaders from a .forge archive and if yes, are they stored in compiled format or raw text?
2. Is it possible to extract scripts from a .forge archive?
3. What is a problem with modifying resources in a .forge format? Does the game perform some type of CRC check or smth?
4. Will you publish .forge format (and other AC 4 related formats which you've managed to process) specs somewhere or you prefer not to share it?

Re: Archive X
The shaders do appear to be compiled, but I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. The next release will allow all files to be exported in one way or another.Shockwave wrote:Hi MichaelDarkAngel! Thanks for all the work you've been doing on AC 4 .forge format extractor.

Haven't found scripts yet. Of course, I also haven't put too much effort into looking for them.Shockwave wrote:2. Is it possible to extract scripts from a .forge archive?
Don't know what the problems would be as I have never tried to modify the original resources. But I will mention that a single resource can be stored in multiple locations. Not just within a single forge file, but even within multiple forge files.Shockwave wrote:3. What is a problem with modifying resources in a .forge format?

I keep saying one of these days I'm going to write out the format, but always find something else to do. I will at some point.Shockwave wrote:4. Will you publish .forge format (and other AC 4 related formats which you've managed to process) specs somewhere or you prefer not to share it?

Re: Archive X
v1.12.28.0 Now Available
Added support for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. There does appear to be an issue with some of the datafiles. We are looking into it and hope to have it fixed shortly.
Fixed an issue with the obj exporter.
Added an About form.
Due to some brilliant work by Tahg we now have actual descriptions for a good bit of the file type objects. Because of this, "Images" can now be found under "Texture Maps" and "Models" can now be found under "Mesh".

I have a problem with UV's when exported from Archive_x32.
That problem only appears on some models like Anne Bony (DataPC_extra_chr)
and it appears only on "head" mesh around eyes and mouth.
On these places UV are in straight line and two in single spot.
Please check that and see if you can fix it
Thanks in advance

Re: Archive X
Can you save the UV maps and send them to me, or at the very least screen shot the offending areas?milance941 wrote:@MDA

Which head model, LOD_1, LOD2, LOD_3 or LOD_4?
Blender, 3DSMax or something else?

Re: Archive X
Nevermind, found the issue.
The OBJ exporter is rounding after two digits, for both verts and tverts. This is leading to less detail all around.
Will get this fixed shortly.

I have another problem but now with textures.
A lot of diffuse textures are interpreted like specular (or mask).
Almost every diffuse texture is like that. Normal maps are fine.
Open extra chr.forge and check some textures like hair or some random models.
