PhyreEngine 2D textures (.phyre) (Noesis: 0.6.2/QBMS: 0.5.1 - abandoned)

[Rainx]

Strange, it worked for me and there was no regression for my PS4 samples.

Ok. It's my fault. Sorry.
But how did you get dxt5 image without vertical flip?
I can extract only uncompressed dds (4mb).

With help of an extremely useful Raw texture previewer/converter by id-daemon.
Noesis should show width, height, format and starting offset in Export window.

Update: I've fixed regressions, first post updated.

thank you for this update, just about everything opens now, apart from character, monster and weapons images, i guess because there models are with them too, and in the bg/parts folder for parts.GCM.phyre doesn't work either, i believe that also has 3d models too, anyways thank you with the work you have done for Dragon Quest Builders.

Preview of a fix for 0.4.2.

It was like this:

Notice a red/cyan shift, almost like Anaglyph 3D.

Hello!

I was hoping somebody could help me export/import textures for PS4 Journey. Attached is what is there in the pkg and when extracted I get a folder with all the individual textures with a .dds.GNM extension and not sure how to use this Noesis extension to open it. I'm not super savvy with this stuff so any help is extremely appreciated!

[TheUkrainianBard]

Export - yes but import is very unlikely.
Put "tex_PhyreEngine_phyre.py" in "noesis\plugins\python" folder.

You'll have to either add ".phyre" extension by hand to each ".dds.GNM" file or run QuickBMS with "add_phyre_extension.bms".
Then you can view and export them in Noesis.

May I ask what is preventing importing from being possible? I work on Journey with two other guys who are programmers that might actually be able to make sense of it and possibly help. (If this isnt the purpose for your tool at all please feel free to say so. You've already helped a lot)

[TheUkrainianBard]

I don't know if Noesis can import at all.
You can try to add texture data and change some values in the file you're editing (you can see data offset & size when exporting).
Also textures for PS3 can be swizzled in Morton order (aka Z-order); for PS4 - in Peano's curve, according to Assetto Corsa dev.

[TheUkrainianBard]

Added a QuickBMS script that's functionally on par with 0.4.2 but can extract BC5/BC7 textures as is (applicable only to DX11/PC).
It's very slow when the texture is Morton order swizzled (applicable only to GCM/PS3) at about 1.5-2 pixels per MHz per second for Core i5.

I used the QuickBMS script 0.4.2 to extract .dds file from .phyre.
But when I reimported the .dds file back to .phyre,it just failed.
Could you please tell me how to import .dds back to .phyre?Thanks!

[TheUkrainianBard]

You'll have to do it by hand. At least for now.

Some bugs I've found while making 0.5:
Noesis messes up non-power-of-two width GNF images. Seems like a small mistake, otherwise it would've broken the untiling spectacularly.
Also: doesn't support DX10 DDS with dxgiFormat = 115 (which is b4g4r4a4_unorm); no grayscale/luma raw decode.
Scarlet eats the end of data. I have an idea why.
Only id-daemon's Raw texture previewer/converter doesn't break. But still, no swizzling options in CLI.

[muyuygfert]

Thanks for the update.Very great work!

[TheUkrainianBard]

Bypassed broken GNF image untiling/unswizzling in Noesis. This allows DXTn export from PS4 PhyreEngine assets (previously it was possible to export only RGBA8).
You can use it too, usage is the same as imageFromMortonOrder. And it's about 20-50 times faster than my QuickBMS script.

Code: Select all

from inc_ps4untiling import *

imageFromPeanoOrder(input_array, width, height, bytes_per_block)

Noesis script is now 0.5.2
No major changes, just rewrites and cleanups here and there.

Is there any chance to add NVN (Nintendo Switch) platform support?

[TheUkrainianBard]

If I could get samples from Switch - then pretty likely.

Actually, this is a good opportunity to say that I've been working on the next big thing: models.

Here is some samples from Nintendo Switch

It seems to work fine on all other files. Many thanks for your hard work!
