Is the program you're using capable of importing DX10 DDS files? Either way, try using Noesis to preview those DDS files. If they show up correctly, then you can convert them to either PNG or TGA and work from there.

Use Noesis to convert them into a PNG by using the batch extract:
$inpath$\$inname$out.$outext$
Use this output path so that it doesn't extract into another folder.

I've been using QuickBMS and it's always outputting corrupted DDS files. they're viewable in Noesis and from there I use the Batch Extract to get them all converted into a PNG.
A side note is how can i get QuickBMS to extract into the same folder as the input, without it creating separate folders for each texture? it's really annoying to move them out every time i extract them.

And it's actually pretty easy to make it output to the same folder, for the simplest approach to that (literally a one-character change), near the beginning of the script you'll see this section:
Code:
get PATH basename
string PATH += /

Use this output path so that it doesn't extract into another folder.
That way, you'll have filenames that match the respective DDS like "pm0025_00_00_body_a_alb.png", instead of "pm0025_00_00_body_a_albout.png".Code:$inpath$\$inname$.$outext$

This will override the "append to subfolder" approach and make them export to the same location as the BNTX or BFRES.Code:string PATH = STRNAME
ah ye- in my latest extraction i did
Code:
$inpath$\$inname$_out.$outext$New Question! where do i find that? i'm still somewhat new to QuickBMS, and only recently i've been trying to figure stuff out.
I put my export stuff into a .bat file with this command stuff:
Code:
quickbms.exe -F "*.bntx" Switch_BNTX.bms "G:\pkmn\PLA-Trainers\chara\data\pc" ""and so I have no idea where to find that in the script of whatever.

Or you can just download and use this pre-adjusted version instead.

Ah, good to know for future reference, and thanks! Now, folders for individual files will no longer bother me. now, time to go re-export the entirety of the player outfits and all of the pokemon

Is it on purpose that gfbmdls exported from switch toolbox aren't support by your tool? I am trying to extract maps and none are in the files in the op

I am trying to extract maps and none are in the files in the opIt definitely wasn't broken intentionally, the same kind of thing happened with my Smash Ultimate importer earlier before I fixed it there. When working with the formats originally, I didn't know as much as to how the headers were set up. Switch Toolbox structures those differently for its generated GFBMDL files, so while the game reads those just fine, my script it expects things to be set up in a specific manner and they're just different enough to throw it off (I already added a hacky fix to make Sword/Shield models work instead of rewriting things there, which was definitely a mistake). At some point I'll rewrite the GFBMDL portion of my script using my new knowledge from working with the TRMDL files, and I'll have that issue fixed.

Okay, in the second link's second image, the reason why it's white and gray, is because that an AO texture- Ambient Occlusion. the reason why it's that way is because it's gives the textures permanent shadows in places- i explained this in an earlier post: https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-25872-post-671598.html#pid671598
And the first image in the second link is the normal texture, it gives it fake extra geometry. though this one is a broken one and needs blue to make it look good.
and for the Alb (albedo) texture in the first link, All of the pokemon from Legends Arceus uses a new setup which I like to call "Color Assignment" which means they don't have colors baked onto the albedo, and instead the colors have to be assigned manually or through some sort of program. the MSK/LYM is the texture that assigns the spots where color goes.

Hopefully this'll be the last set of fixes I'll need to do for the script now:
Code:
Fixed models with more than 65536 vertices on a single mesh group (e.g. objects_area04_building01) failing to import. (Thanks, New3DsSuchti!)
Fixed trainer models erroring in non-ancient 3DS Max versions when importing out of the intended order. (Thanks, FreohrWeohnataKausta!)
Added an option to "simplify" materials upon importing, to assist with using the Render to Texture function to re-bake colourized Pokémon textures.https://mega.nz/file/GkwF1QiK#VuNPb2qIQ-PAuCTp09VQlpAyYWKAhrQofo6ijdTK24c
Next update I'll be giving the other half of the script a bit of cleanup.

RE: Pokémon 3DS/Switch Model Ripping Project - Amalgam Wildcard - 02-06-2022
Can someone explain to me how the BDSP folder works in comparison to the other folders uploaded? Or maybe I'm missing something? It's full of "FILE" files
Also, FreohrWeohnataKausta, thanks for that video! I've definitely been having issues with the Legends: Arceus folder as well so I'll definitely have to study that video a bit. I know you're using Blender for your video, but I'm definitely curious if that can logically cross over to UE4 and how materials work there (It'd definitely save me a step if it does, but I'll definitely give that video a watch... probably multiple times haha)
