I'm still looking into the bones, trying to get them working correctly. The ones that don't work correctly yet are the models with over 256 bones, such as the one below. The vertex data only uses bytes for the indices, so it has to remap the bones into smaller groups of 0-255. They could have just used Shorts for the indices and it would have been no problem. Had a bit of success with some bones being remapped correctly, but others still not. It seems like some bones maybe aren't needed, or are used for something else. This is pl036 with some bones being moved correctly.

From further investigation, it seems that some meshes use up to 8 bone weights/indices, where others only use 4. It also looks like they're split into 2 groups of 4 in the vertex data - i.e 4 weights/4 indices/2nd set of 4 weights/2nd set of 4 indices. So I'll need to redo the way bones are processed to see if that fixes it.

I'm looking at the textures/materials now, trying to allocate them properly. Just a few tests so far:

There was A LOT of discussion here that was not related to AC Shadows localization. As a moderator I couldn't allow that, so I've removed all off-topic posts. From now on please post only comments that are directly connected with translation work. Thank you. 🙂

please update the script ! if you would be so kind.

Yes, but it's still in progress, not ready to upload it yet while I iron out a few issues.

Here's an initial Noesis script for the TMD2 mesh files. I've probably made some assumptions with the format, so I don't know if it'll work for other tmd2 files that I don't have samples for. It doesn't load the textures/materials as yet, mainly because I'm not 100% sure on how they're referenced, but it will do vertex colours and the bones should also work. bleach_rebirth_tmd2.zip

Yeah, original scripts don't seem to account for all of the different vertex formats, so a lot of meshes won't work. I can get the skeleton working by doing some manual extracting of the data. I'm not sure if the original script author(s) will update theirs. If not, I may do an updated one at some point.

Another update. Should load almost everything now. Since the last updated, I've integrated reading of the textures and created the materials for each submesh, so they should display correctly. No need to decompress any files first, just load a tmd2 file and it will load the matching texture file. There are issues with some hair meshes - some of them don't seem to have proper textures, maybe they're handled differently, not sure. There are still some texture types that I'm not sure about - they could be specular, metallic, or whatever. As always, it's still a work in progress. bleach_rebirth_tmd2.zip

Still working on materials. Diffuse/Normal maps look ok. But still quite a way to go.

You can use this Noesis script to get the textures from the LDS files. Not sure how the textures are integrated into the materials to allocate to individual submeshes. rebirth_lds.zip

Did you tried Store RwShapeIndex Values in a List? Somenthing like that? bs.seek(RwShapeIndexTableOffset, NOESEEK_ABS) rw_shape_indices = [] # Create a list to store RwShapeIndex values for i in range(0, RwVertexInfoCount): RwUnknown_0 = bs.readUShort() RwUnknown_1 = bs.readUShort() rw_shape_indices.append(bs.readUShort()) # Append to the list bs.seek(RwVertexInfoOffset, NOESEEK_ABS) for j in range(0, RwVertexInfoCount): Underline = "_" RwShapeInc = j RwShapeIndex = rw_shape_indices[j] #get the value from the list using the j index. RwShapeIdxNum = "{:04d}".format(RwShapeIndex) RwShapeIndexTmp = str(RwShapeIdxNum) print(RwShapeIndexTmp)

This is a Unity (2021.3.9f1) game that has reached EOS (End of Service). The APK contains UI assets, which can be extracted using standard Unity tools. However, the cache files are different, and some require additional processing. What I Have Achieved So Far: Extracted Audio and Video Files These files have AFS2 and CRID headers. I found a decryption key inside the APK: "0048B2AB558A01B6". Using CRID-usm-Decrypter and HCA key generation tools, I successfully extracted these assets. The Problem: The final implemented files before service shutdown confirm that the necessary assets exist. All content up to the EOS update is present in the extracted audio and video files, confirming that the cache holds the game’s full assets. However, 3D models and textures are missing, and the remaining files have no identifiable file extensions. Two distinct binary patterns (see images) appear frequently in these unidentified files, leading me to believe they contain graphics data. I suspect that these files contain the graphic data, but their format is unknown. I also tried using AI to perform decryption with the extracted key, but this has not yielded any results either. What I Am Currently Doing: I lack experience in disassembly or reverse engineering. I am using AI-assisted analysis to examine Il2CppDumper output and searching for clues via Ghidra, but progress has been slow. I have attached the cache files, APK, and DummyDlls. or alternatively, I will provide a sample of the cache with only the relevant files. If anyone is familiar with where to start or knows any effective tools or methods to analyze these files, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

iirc, I think it uses python 3.6 and higher to run. All I gotta do is run the tool, and a window will pop up.

Hey, im just an old game modder/researcher. Cant promise I will be all that active, but its nice to be here

The kamzik123 texted me and I spoke with him and it seems that my view of him was wrong and there was a misunderstanding. He is currently not planning to release his tool until EOL for good reasons. If you wanna translate this game you can get the texts from attached file and send me the translated version to get a forge patch. (still you must prove that you are a creator by sending the link of your old translations) acs_texts.zip

Well I updated my tool for ac shadows but as always (like other games) I will keep it private. Why? Because I don't want idiots to take my tool and sell their garbage translations without even leaving a little credit for me. If you need help, you can send me link of your other translations in pm (so I can make sure) and I will help you (I will send the text + put it back into game) to make a patch ( obviously I don't ask for money)

Hello, everyone. I am Pandora, a Guitar Hero and Rock Band here. Nice to meet you all. As of March 2025, I just noticed that Xentax/Zenhax were deprecated. It is sad that such a tragedy happened to the mod community. I actually was trying to look for help regarding reverse Engineering Guitar Hero 3 for PC, when I knew catched up with the topic. If its allowed, I share some of my links. Please, feel free to have a look. DeviantArt Thanks to the gaming mod community, I was able to extract and share these Guitar Hero 3D models from the PC Version of the game. I am specially proud of Midori and the Male Singer. https://www.deviantart.com/lindsaypandora/art/Midori-3D-Model-Guitar-Hero-3-673967952 https://www.deviantart.com/lindsaypandora/art/Vocalist-3D-Model-Guitar-Hero-3-676369139 YouTube Again, thanks to the Rock Band Modding Community called MiloHax and Emulation Community, I was able to share Performance Mode Videos of Rock Band 2 Deluxe (Unlisted at the time of this message), as well as Guitar Hero Background Videos. My most popular playlist is the PC Version of Guitar Hero 3 https://www.youtube.com/@pandoraday/playlists Again, nice to meet you everyone! Thanks!

yes, I'll post it when it's ready

I finally managed to get rid of a problem where a wronlgy determined face index count led to corrupted obj files. I didn't find a simple solution with Make_H2O_pub, so I decided to fix that bug using hex2obj (which required a special TDUnlimited version to be created). So if you don't want to trick around with a dozen *.objx files (from old hex2obj versions) it's important to use the updated exe (TDUnl) from here. Said exe will create *_corr.obj (instead of *.objx) which means that they can be imported without renaming. (Heaven will tell whether _corr(ection) is correct, always.) The process is like so (read How-to-use_TDUnl_bnk.txt from zip) : Make_H2O exe creates H2O files from bnk files hex2obj creates obj files from bnk using said H2O files bunch of obj files to be imported into blender using included .py file Found sub meshes might be uncomplete - tested three (+ 2 interior) bnk files only Have fun. edit: forgot to mention that doors, steering wheel etc need a positional correction. (The offsets are probably in the bnk files but I'll leave this to you.) And yeah, uvs are missing - progress: 50% for interior (see exe in ...F2.zip) (For chassis uvs need a recheck.) edit: the above mentioned hex2obj version was optimized for creating multiple H2O files (File\SaveAs Mmesh) from TDunlimited bnk files. The caveat is that handling single H2O files is restricted. So don't press the go1 button here. Just the "mesh" button (and maybe correct the vertex count if you're told to do so). Make_H2O_TDU_bnk.zip F2 - exe only - you need the files from the previous zip! Make_H2O-TDUnl-bnk-F2.zip

Thanks. I had the incorrect offset for the UVs in that mesh type, so I've amended that one for whenever I do the next update.

So I've been following this thread from today, seeing all the progress as it comes. My main aim from the beginning was to find Tier's files and edit her to the authentic look. I've been able to find an alternate, albeit possibly outdated now, method of revealing the full 3d models for the files in Noesis. The python plugin is a slight change to DKDave's code that I found earlier in the thread (same file name). It forcibly commits all triangle data to a single mesh, essentially forcing all vertices and submeshes to appear. Maybe someone can benefit from this potential checkpoint? Can't wait to see what modding brings for this amazing game. I'll continue trying to fiddle with the textures tomorrow! Biggest thanks to DKDave again, doing the Soul King's good work. bleach_rebirth_tmd2.py

Just a small update to add a few more mesh types from the additional samples provided. bleach_rebirth_tmd2.zip

Is there a specific file you're having trouble with inside that archive? These appear quite similar. e.g. 0000000000000000_unpack.seg is uncompressed 8-bpp indexed pixels 512x1024 starting at 1600h and a palette at 200h. (you'll have to tell me if the red and blue channels are reversed, since you've played the game)

Thanks ! it works Script for noesis after decryption I'm sorry that i forget who wrote this. it's from xentax fmt_tamsoft_tmd2.py

I donated $50.

Hi everyone, We're excited to announce a small yet important update regarding user groups on our board. This change is the first in a series of improvements planned for the very near future. Please find below the updated and detailed descriptions for each user group: Administrators Moderators Donators Engineers Supporter Members Guests Banned Thank you all for your attention, and we appreciate your ongoing support and contributions to the board. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! Best regards, The Administration Team

.bsp, lots of small point clouds (11 to 20 vertices, one with 50). Someone with patience required to collect them. The search pattern is xx00000101xy, 5 times in a row, where xx is 00 to 05 and xy a wildcard byte. The vertex blocks start 48 bytes (+/- 1 or so) after the start of the pattern. (Imho most blocks don't look as if they represented meshes, btw.) One vertex (?) block from the end of the file, double vertices included:

Exporting as fbx/dae will preserve the vertex colors. Idk about gltf.

i still would have posted this regardless i did say for anyone to test with

It doesnt work on decompressed lds files, you have to open the ones straight from the game files

Tool updated. I planned to also improve materials, but had no time. So only this fix.

yeah tried those, plus i'm unsure if it's supported with version 4.25 onwards. All the data of my files are stored in the UCAS files i believe

I wish you had written how you extracted the language files. Right now I can't open the .forge file either. Can you share how did you open it?

Of course so lets start with matrixs so in this case Porky pig have 19 Bones ok so first seek to offset 0x2374 and repeat this 19 times to get all bone matrixs so lets start: 1.64 bytes with trash for bone name 2.156 bytes unrelated to bone data 3.a float Matrix 4x4 wich is World Space bind pose matrix 4.84 bytes unrelated to bone data Ok now have all bone World Space bind pose matrix now lets get the mesh data including:faces vértices normals uvs bone índices and bone weights. Seek to offset 0x969d4 and start: 1.8898 faces as ushorts 2.1832 vértices as float 3.1832 normals as half float 4.8 bytes zero padding 5.1832 uvs as half float 6.1832 bone índices as ubyte 7.1832 bone weights as half float Ok now have a rigged mesh ready for animation so Next is seek to offset 0xdd340 Ok lets see whats have here: 64 bytes, BankName 64 bytes, AnimName 64 bytes, HierName ushort, frame ushort, numBones 16 bytes, unk (trash IfII) for range(numBones): 68 bytes, BoneName uint, numElem uint, trash for range(numElem): uint, fmt (1000-pos; 1002-rot; 1003-scl; 1010-uv1; 1011-color) uint, type (41-uint; 37-vec2(float); 38-vec3(float); 40-quat(float)) ushort, numKeys ushort, unk (trash) array[keys] Ok so this is all offset and structure wich you need to extract model and animation

While I have no clue what's going on exactly with this, it still impresses me all the same.

i have noticed some meshes dont export properly, any .umaps that arent nanite dont have materials assigned as well missing meshes and textures are flipped on the Y- Axis

21 versa all sub meshes of Antonini's head:

SOLVED! Thanks to @patrickhamster code, the texture could be converted and swizzled properly! But it was necessary to edit some parameters so it could work as intended! 😁👍🏻

Aaaand why did you change topic's title from "Resident Evil 4 Remake text" to "Dragon Dogma 2 text"? It may confuse some people as aswer from @SungurTekin is for RE 4, I suppose...

Howdy modders! Not sure where else to post this, but I just wanted to share a small personal project with you all that I took a week or so to create. https://jenkinstr.github.io/JMD-Forza-Vehicle-Database/ The page itself takes a bit to load because of the thousands of elements, give it a second or two until it fully loads before using it, as the JavaScript to make the filters/search work loads last. It's not particularly mobile friendly either but that shouldn't be a problem for modders. I tested it on a range of screen sizes. This was created from all versions of Forza that are extractable on PC, with the only exception being Apex and the most recent Motorsport 2023. FM5 and FM6 are not included as they were never released for PC, and FM1 is excluded as it uses a different file system for vehicles than the rest. If you have any questions or suggestions or just want to discuss the crazy amounts of data, I'd love to hear it! 🙂
