Random Talking Bush's Model Importers and QuickBMS Scripts

[hyago]

Hi everyone.

Any of you were able to extract .PTEX images files? I've been using TiledGGD and images get broken. Perhaps I must do some configuration beforehand.
I've already googled and find nothing.
Any ideas?

Change the mode to "Tiled" and in "Set Tile Size" from 8x8 to 16x8 for 8-bit (256 colour) images, or 32x8 for 4-bit (16 colour) ones. Then just shift it one byte at a time until the texture no longer appear garbled. The palettes are 4-bytes BGR, and are located below the textures themselves.



Or you can just do a scene dump in Jpcsp to get the textures, which is faster overall (and you wouldn't have to fiddle with the palettes until you get something right.

No request, I am just curious, but do you think that you will ever make scripts that will encode stuff instead of decoding? Like a GTX to BFLIM?

There's still quite a lot of unknowns in the texture formats, so I'm not sure exactly how I'd go about building them from scratch. But I'm sure someone else will do so at a later time, there is a lot of interest in Wii U modding still.

Thanks for the quick reply.
This method really takes a lot of time.
I think a better approach is to use Texmod into PPSSPP emulator, go through the textures and save them.   

By the way, I took your MegaManPSP_MDL maxscript importer and improve it a little bit. 
I corrected the face orientation to point to Z-, turned bones more visible, welds the duplicate vertices and resize the model so that X is 5'3" ft (160 cm) tall (his official height).

Here is how it looks like:




For anyone who wants, download the maxscript importer here. (I didn't test for Megaman: Powered Up game).
