I can't import anything with it.

Also, there are two bases, cc_base, and pc_base. Which one do we use?

I'm noticing hard polygons on the face, also is it possible to make the facebase on morphs have the same name as their respective part? for example m2 on the face base mesh model is under _face_ while it should be _eyelash_ I can do it manually of course but would be good to have the normals and morphs matching

Any help would be appreciated, I'm super new to this lol

For 3DS Max at least, it's silly and doesn't read DX10-based DDS files correctly, so yeah you'll need to convert those to PNG first before they'll show up textured. If you want something free that'll convert those in a jiffy, you can use Noesis to batch convert 'em. Just change the output path to:

Code:

$inpath$\$inname$.$outext$

for that to convert them into the same folder / same basenames as the DDS files, then 3DS Max will be able to preview 'em.

(11-21-2022, 11:21 PM)DarkShinyGiratina Wrote: Thanks, that worked! My cloddy boy is in full HD! My only question now is: is there a way to extract the dds files such that each pokemon has its own folder, with all the dds files inside? The way mine did it was each dds file has its own separate folder, and that makes it really annoying to find all the ones for a certain pokemon and collect them together to convert to PNG. Maybe there's a setting to use in quickBMS? If you know, that would be appreciated!

(11-21-2022, 11:36 PM)Random Talking Bush Wrote: Yeah, there was a version the script that did so in the first post, but since it was very outdated I removed it earlier. It's easy enough to replicate, though. Go to line 227 in the script, and for this block of code:

Code:

get PATH basename
string PATH += /
getarray BRTISTART 0 i
string PATH += STRNAME

Delete or comment out the first two lines, and change the last "+=" to just "=".

Code:

# get PATH basename
# string PATH += /
getarray BRTISTART 0 i
string PATH = STRNAME

This will make the BNTX files extract to the same folder instead.

Yeah I just bit the bullet and downloaded it without the firewall, looks like there's no problem with that. For whatever reason, Windows just decided to flag it and kept auto deleting it unless I unzipped it.




Got Larry imported into Blender and most of his model mesh is there, except for his face. Is that normal?


Also does anyone know how to import the textures?

Yep, went and added that to the first post now!

I can try to explain the shapekeys / morphs a bit better later, but the important thing for those is that single-mesh vertex group morphs are stored as absolute positions immediately after the first (default) set, and the face groups store only the bare minimum necessary -- used vertex IDs (the "0th" set as I've dubbed it, there's one extra for the morphs count just for that purpose) and delta positions (original + difference = final position, in other words), and the names of which are stored in the TRMSH. The player trainers also apparently have additional morphs in the TRLTT file which I'm going to have to look into later.

Hello YeraySL, thank you for your Blender plugin input! I was testing it today, but some errors pop up, and Blender is only loading the bone structure. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Sorry for being such a noob. Thank you!
