Soly Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Mind if I ask you how are you doing this stuff? I have been working in properly exporting the game models (XJ models) ... but I haven't gone too far, I can export them but the most complicated models (anything that is not the saber or an item box) end up with wrong normals, and obviously having a proper understanding of how the models are made is the first step on bigger things.

To export the enemy models i take the enemy.bml and extract them with the bml extractor. Or just to make it easier, i take the allready extracted models from the quedit. And to import own models, i use emulate win95 with 3d studio max 2.5 and Dreamcast's Katana SDK r10 converter. im going to make a tutorial anyway at some point. Another i dont know yet is how many kb's r allowed to use own models, sonce i tried a few with higher then 400-500, but the game crashed. So i used Amy's head for example wich has only a few kb's and it worked. @Soly btw, the PRSU.exe isnt exporting .xj files correctly, right?

From what I've gathered .xj should be doodads i.e. item boxes, environmental objects. If you want weapons look for the item.bml file. It should unpack .nj and .pvm. 3 hours ago, Shiva said: btw, the exmldnet isnt exporting .xj files correctly, right? I don't think .xj conversion is available in exmldnet. There's no option to unpack the files. Of course, my version is from 2008 so I'm not sure if there's been updates to it since then. Looks to me like the tool is reading bytes and spitting out information on the file. I'm no programmer though so I'm sure Soly could give more insight on the matter.

ScoobyDew Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) ItemModelEp4? What are you extracting these from? Is it V2 or PSOBB? Actually. It must be from PSOBB if you have episode 4 files. I'll be home in a few minutes. I'll see what I can do. You're gonna need to extract from V2.

ScoobyDew Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Sorry it took so long. Just a heads up. If you aren't able to scroll through all the files once you download V2 from PSO Palace look for a "data.gsl" file. You're gonna need to unpack that with a gsl.exe. It should unpack to bml, pvm, nj etc files. From there just follow my instructions. I'm going to sleep now. If you have any questions I'll answer them when I wake up. Hopefully Soly can help you with any technical stuff. I'll try to help with the model extracting. Shit. I just noticed the video quality is poor. Sorry about that. I converted it to a smaller file size to save time. If some things aren't clear just ask.

Soly Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I thought you could do xj too... nvm then, I guess I'll have to put some more time into it. prsu only decompresses the files, you need a custom program to export the model data out of xj files, which there is none...

Only got the item.bml from DC version 2, but its not compatible with the bml extractor i think. U mind if u could send me the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyDew Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) The extraction worked for me but I gave you some wrong information on where the item models are located. Sorry about that. Item.bml extracts the .xj files that I was looking at in my Ephinea forum post. You need to scroll down a bit for ItemModel.afs and extract that. I believe Schthack made an afs tool. I'm sorry that I won't upload the file. I just don't want to upload Sega's content somewhere. Edited November 28, 2016 by ScoobyDew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
