Gameloft's BDAE files

[Doprond]

Ok,thanks,and good luck with the script

Touchdown! To clarify best method is as follows:
- Use Winrar to open the dat files, this will retain more files than other method (7zip, bms). If they don't open they're not a rar of course.
* switch to Quickbms for versions 2.0.0 on up using aluigi's zip2.bms script. Should be found in Dlc_version.txt
** actual formats are either .swf, .bar or .png. The latter two will generally extract but the swf usually will not. The more important one's are detailed in file00000-plantext.dat which will give you an idea what is what. This can be opened and read in Note or Word.

- If textures won't open (usually the base tga here which is actually a .pvr file), extract them then open the PVR files with PowerVR Graphics Tools.

- bdae models open with the Noesis plugin provided by Acewell (thanks). If they do not open or error, extract them as a zip then open the little_endian bdae file inside with Noesis.

To make things a little easier I reorganized the list numerically. This should make identifying what's in a dat easier for anyone as they go through them rather than rifling through the list to and fro. So in total the common usable types you'll find are actors(character models and anims, textures and so on), level segments, environments, props, fx, and else various images for icons, huds, banners and logos. Else there's single dats for fonts and strings. Left over are swf/game engines/html. The following is for newer versions (as of Spider-ham)

Nevermind, looks like the iOS versions of the tga's open in PVRTexTool when renamed to .pvr

That also worked with files from the game "Gangstar: Miami Vindication", thanks The Android files are in some different format...

[SickAlice]

I've had some models so far come out a scrambled mess but otherwise good success with Noesis.
100% success with Ultimate Unwrap 3d. However it's an expensive program to go full and be able to export.
The bdae plugin is free off their site though if anyone wants to study it as well the demo free.

[Doprond]

Acewell can you please update script for bdae files from Thor TDW (2014)?
the script for Spider-Man Unlimited doesn't work
Samples are here
https://mega.nz/#!P1gRSTgR!9qNWBaNFanEE ... 6IGa8xdGIM
Thanks in advance!

Making a note for scripters here. Some models from Unlimited come out broken when using the traditional methods of extraction. I assume this is the case with other games that use the format. Note on that is the ones that do are ones that would have more than one object pieces to the model and the ones that come out fine are all one piece vertice seamed to vertice. Hope this helps narrow research down.

Examples that come out broken are characters with web-wings. Captain Spider (Flash), classic Spider-woman, All New Spider-man. Symbiotes or characters that have tongues (Venom, Anti-Venom, Demogoblin). Characters with a costume piece like Demon-Spider's mask ties, the space suits helmet, anything with unwelded mechanical arms. So on.

I can't figure out the face indices on some of these models from more recent updates. I can get a point cloud (with some inverted normals) and UV's, but that's it.

Here are the bdae files: http://puu.sh/xl4To.zip

Those are among the list of ones that break using the conventional method (Noesis). Not sure how to get around that until a coder steps up and fixes the script. They can be opened with Ultimate Unwrap3d Pro using the provided plugin however cannot be exported unless one buys the program.

i skipped the first 12 vertices and indices in Mesh_Batty_Brant.bdae and it looks good to me

the indices reset at 0x266a0, i didn't check to see what mesh the first 12 made
guess you can't read some in a single array, this is why i can't update my script, too many variations of this format.

edit
Mesh_MJIron.bdae

the indices reset at 0x18148, a new submesh should start there.

Kewl. I have to take some time and try and learn that program again. I had problems grasping it before for whatever reason. Also been trying to research just screencapping Unwrap. Not sure why but that one and the various 3d grabbing programs don't play nice together.

I've been trying to do the same thing with the .pig files in Gameloft's Six Gun.

Have not had much luck so far. Do I need to do something different with these files?

Here's the example .pig in case anyone has time to take a look.

Tbe vertex stream for .pig files is LZ4 compressed, so I don't think you're gonna see anything recognizable. You can try searching for Gameloft Pig Importer by Chipicao for import scripts.

I tried the PIG2FBX command line converter and the max script.

Neither one of these work for me.

I hope works with Asphalt Storm

Ok so I figured out how to get the ones from spiderman that dont load in noesis to load.
Just open in a hex editor and delete the chunks till before "BRESpy"

and resave, it should load then.

You rock!

[ForgedInception]

here is a Noesis python script to open your bdae samples
fmt_SpiderManUnlimited_bdae.zip
supports geometry and UVs

How to use this for Gangster Vegas .bdae files ?
It gives following error.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is a pretty addictive little game, and i picked it up for free from the m$ store.
i notice most of this thread is specifically about extracting .obj character assets,
i'm interested in character/weapon models, level streaming, all texture files, and gameplay equations.
the wiki, and enough game time will reverse engineer the equations, but how about levels and textures?

i found the game files, and they all have a blender icon even though blender only knows .dae not .bdae
is there a hex2obj blender plugin for .bdae files, like there is a gamebryo plugin for .nif files?
i followed the link to Extracting Simple models on the Xentax forums and have downloaded hex2obj.
i tried to rtfm in advance but the faq link is how to bb not how to .bdae, is there an intro tutorial somewhere?

thanks ^_^;
