The VG Resource

Hey guys, so I've been trying to make a mod for Smash 4 that replaces Captain Falcon's helmet with Jimmy T.'s afro from Game & Wario. However, when I try to merge the afro w/ Falcon in SmashForge and import that NUD into 3dsMax, I keep getting an error where it says "Runtime error: Unknown vertex type!" I'm very new to modding, so I don't really understand why this is happening.

Here's a pastebin of what the script says when I try to import the afro if that helps:
https://pastebin.com/4cqPt7LX

I really would appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

****UPDATE: I got it figured out finally. I was importing the Jimmy T .dae incorrectly. I was setting the Vert Type to "Normals, Tan, Bi-Tan(Float)." Not sure what to switch it to instead though because I want the afro to have normals.

Hey, RTB, I was wondering if you ever got to an importer for Trillion: God of Destruction's PC release? I want to get a few things from it...like Trillion himself...I tried it with the Vita importer but all his pieces import at 'zero rotation' rather than where they are on his body...

Thank you for your great scriptes!!!!But I used your script to import the .tmd files(Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed), i found that there are only models,no including the textures.Can you tell me how to get the texture from the game?

I do still have plans for that, but I need to stop getting sidetracked by other projects.

I was gonna say that it looks like you're using an older version -- the recent version is from May 14th, while the one you showed is the May 4th one. I re-did the importer since then, perhaps the new one fixes the issue?

Yeah, the PC version's already supported. Not sure why it's importing like that, though.

The textures should be in DDS format, located in the same archives as the TMDs. I'm sure there's a proper script for those that I'll dig up for ya later.

Anyway, I've got a minor update to my Telltale Games Almost-all-in-One importer script which includes a major addition!

Download MaxScript
Download D3DTX to DDS QuickBMS Script

For the PS4 version of Back to the Future, you'll want to use the "_BttFPS4" script with the D3DTX files to get (broken) DDS files, and then use chrrox's QuickBMS script to convert those to GNF, and then finally Noesis to convert 'em to PNG.

Would it be okay if I request a fix for the Pokémon XY BCH Importer Script where skinOps.ReplaceVertexWeights skinMod i bi wv gets highlighted and throws an error in 3ds Max 2015? 

bug report:
bfres script didnt work to repack switch bfres

am trying to figure this out due to new switch homebrew and sdcafiine for switch in the works

Yeah all of Trillion's 'Shell' models just import at zero rotation and axis, unless I'm missing how to make them place right...

While using the d3dmesh importer I cant get the textures to import as well. Is this supposed to happen?

Most of Telltale's newer games have hashed IDs for texture names instead which makes it practically impossible to determine at the moment, so only the older ones work with that currently. Until (or even if) I can figure that out, textures will need to be manually applied for now.

I really can't say much about troubleshooting custom BFRES files, sorry.

@Random Talking Bush

I just sent you an important PM. Please check you Inbox when you get the chance.

I'm trying to import some Splatoon 2 BFRES files into 3DSmax 2016 using the Switch MaxScript but the textures don't seem to import at all. The model and rig is fine, just not the textures.

First I tried just the MaxScript with no luck. Then I tried the QuickBMS method to rip the textures separately but the output DDS files have unknown header types so they're not openable by 3DSMax or a DDS viewer.

Any clues?

Convert those DDS files to PNG using a program like Noesis. They're using a DX10-based format, which 3DS Max doesn't properly support.

Thanks, just tried that. Noesis is now just giving me this error:
Maybe I'm thinking the DDS itself is damaged by the export program/script?

Check to make sure you have the most recent versions of both QuickBMS and my BNTX script, as it appears to be working on my end:

I did both which didn't work, then I realised my Noesis was very out of date (back from PkMn X/Y days). Updating that did the trick!
