hey guys does anyone know how to unpack or load the edgemodel i see pictures of people loading them on Noesis

but mine says file could not be previewed if someone can help me view or unpack the file that would be helpful

have u put Chroxxx script inside the Noesis \plugins\python directory?

hmm that could be why but i cant find it anywhere would you be able to push me in the right way?

the only phy's i have are the .ssg exracting files

here: download/file.php?id=5253

you have to put this Chroxxx script in the directory i say u.

ok 1 more question is there's a repacker and can you edit the model's

@ lllccc, currently, there is no repacker and no one on this site has mentioned that they are working on such a tool.
@ ReFan, good eye on identifying the correlation of the file size to the images' resolution...

I was curious, if anyone here has experience with python scripts... I want to edit the released xpr script (by Mr Adults) with a set of instructions that will check a selected xpr file (when it is clicked on in Noesis) size and change the values (height, width, and fmt) depending on that file size.

example without the correct commands...
--------------------------------------------------------
def registerNoesisTypes():
handle = noesis.register("Hackity Hack Hack", ".xpr")
noesis.setHandlerTypeCheck(handle, noeCheckGeneric)
noesis.setHandlerLoadRGBA(handle, hackLoadRGBA)
return 1
def hackLoadRGBA(data, texList):
# (CHANGES To the script would begin here and look similar to the following...)
# (fileSize = actual file size of *.xpr w= width h= height fmt= NOESISTEX_DXT1 or NOESISTEX_DXT5)
# 33k size file uses the following...
if fileSize == 33k then w == 128, h== 128, fmt == NOESISTEX_DXT5
# 17k size file uses the following...
elif fileSize == 17k then w == 128, h == 128, fmt == NOESISTEX_DXT1
# 353k size file uses the following...
elif fileSize == 353k then w == 512, h == 512, fmt == NOESISTEX_DXT5
# repeat this file size process until all varibles are covered..
# changes would end here... would possibly need more lines to explain how the script checks the selected file's physical size and what to do when there is no match to the file size...
data = rapi.imageUntile360DXT(rapi.swapEndianArray(data, 2), w, h, 8 if fmt == noesis.NOESISTEX_DXT1 else 16)
texList.append(NoeTexture("hacktex", w, h, data, fmt))
return 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone's help or thoughts on how this script could be rewritten to do this would be greatly appreciated... I did do some research online but did not come across anything that would do what I mentioned above... currently I can manually change the script for each condition but it takes more time that it should...any help would be appreciated.

The archive extraction script and the model import script works fine... However the texture import script does not work... All I got are broken/twisted/grained images... and I doubt that the original textures are like that...Can someone explain how to get the proper textures from the xpr files? Thanks.

open the texture scrip with the note pad, follow the textures chart (you can find it in the previous page). you can see that every textures have a size, you have to edit the script for all the kind of textures you want extract..
for example: the texture have size 2737k you have to edit the lines in the script with this: imgWidth: 2048 imgHeight: 2048 and in the compression field you have to write in this case: dxt1.
save the document, restart noesis and you can see the correct texture displayed.. for the different sizes, you have to do the same, but change widht and height and compression as shown in the chart.. btw is this:

Image size---------Resolution-------DX Type
17k-----------------128 * 128-----------DXT1
33k-----------------128 * 128-----------DXT5
49k-----------------256 * 256-----------DXT1
65k-----------------256 * 128-----------DXT5
97k-----------------256 * 256-----------DXT5
177k----------------512 * 512-----------DXT1
193k----------------512 * 256-----------DXT5
353k----------------512 * 512-----------DXT5
689k----------------1024 * 1024--------DXT1
705k----------------1024 * 512----------DXT5
1377k---------------1024 * 1024--------DXT5
2737k---------------2048 * 2048--------DXT1
5473k---------------2048 * 2048--------DXT5

Yes, that chart was posted by REfan, earlier to help explain how to fix the textures (definitely something worth pointing out again as fil1969 has done)... but doing this manually is time consuming, hence my above post to create a script that would take into account the file size and then based on this, correct the image width/height and format accordingly.

Also it is important to note that while most textures adhere to that chart there is a small percentage of them that do not... so for those you will have to mess around with the height, width, and format to fix those.

Basically we need a script edit that looks at the file size of the selected image first (this is the part that eludes me; I've been looking at different scripts that can do this) and then applies the correct h,w, and dxt format before displaying the image in noesis.

Master Chrrox, I heared that you are working on PC version of REORC. It seems that the PC models are endian swapped and thus your code can't show them. Is it possible to chage your code so that it can show the PC models too? And what's up about the skeletons? have u succeded in extracting skeleton info?

once the game is out ill update my tools.

Thanks, and good luck!

here is the quickbms script for this game it works on compressed ssg files and uncompressed ssg files.
it does not work on some of them that have compressed and uncompressed files in them because it is to much work to bother coding it if someone wants to add to this feel free.

well......... i'll try this code soon thx u ^^ {i feel like some people ask to u help me }

Thanks a lot. Works fine for me. But there is another problem: It seems that .edgemodel's from PC are way different and bigger than xbox ones (they has different headers too) and old scripts for noesis won't load them.
