LOTR Aragorn's Quest .res format help!

Post by mattzocrazy »

Hey guys! i've been trying to extract models from the game aragorns quest for the wii for a while but as far as i can tell it doesnt use BRRES models and i cant figure out how to extract them
the models are gorgeous by wii standards however:

the files are encrypted and since this was outsourced to a different company for this port (Which weirdly has better qual models than the first party PS3 version)
heres a sample:

It's a chunked file resource with many types of data. I see textures, sounds, bone names, etc...

Traversing the chunks is relatively easy:

Code: Select all

while(EOF) {
   DWORD chunk_id;      // 4-letter id reversed
   DWORD chunk_size;
   DWORD chunk_unk;

   // advance to next chunk, chunk_id not included
   ptr += (chunk_size-8);
}


You'll just have to take it from here, as I got my hands full with something else. Good luck!
