Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance *.ced

Post by burom »

I'm interested in extracting models from this game into usable formats for other programs. The game itself is packed in .mfs/.mfh files (viewtopic.php?t=2595), and the textures are .wim files (https://github.com/ermaccer/MadeMan.wim2dds); the meshes and animations are in .ced and .ani files, which don't appear to have converters or format descriptions available from what I can find. A sample is attached.

This might also be the same format in the game Made Man but I don't have that one handy to check.

Firefox won't let me download your attachment - says it contains a virus or malware...

@DKDave
Yeah something wrong with Google Safe Browing, I still have no details: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15733
Currently most of the attachments get that error and you must click on the download in the Firefox button and allow it.

Thanks, Luigi. Not sure what would cause that - most downloads are just data files, so maybe some false positives have activated something. It was definitely working without issues a few days ago.

I've allowed the file to download, and it's just data, so no problems there. Now to try and see if I make make something of it.

My bet is on some custom tools uploaded by some users (often localization tools), maybe just a false positive caused by the usage of exe packers, but it may also be that recently something bad was uploaded (by mistake?).

There is a tool for some Made Man meshes (https://github.com/ermaccer/CEDTool) to convert to .obj but that one doesn't work for character meshes, which is what is in the sample.
