[Request] Armored Core For Answer Models/Textures

Post by TallgeeseIV »

The meshes and Textures appear to be inside .bnd files. Armored Core Formula Front for the PSP and Chromehounds, by the same developer appear to use the same format but the BMS scripts I've found for those games don't seem to work on these.

Running offzip with these parameters: "c:\offzip\offzip.exe -a c:\file.bin c:\extract 0x0" produces several .smd, .dat, .flv, (not flash video) and .xpr files.

running unbundler.exe from the XSDK extracts the .tga textures from these .xpr files.

Another game I'm looking to extract models from, project sylpheed, as well as some dead or alive and soul calibur games use .xpr files for models and textures so I'm assuming it's the same here.

Sample Archive Data: sub_head.bnd
Sample XPR Data: 001a6090.xpr

i am guessing the flv file is the same as in dark souls. There is a blender script here for flver files but it doesnt really work, maybe modifiable. Interested in your progress!

Now all we need is the flver importer that was written but removed from MF lol

I can see the vertices and indices, along with the texNames and stuff, but if it's already been done hopefully someone still has it.

its still available in the FLVER thread viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6955 but it doesnt work with this file type. I was hoping someone posts the FLVER files from that cute psp game so we can see what the difference is.

here it is http://xis9.com/import-flver.blend
