I'm going to do tools for it, and release it here on reshax. I plan to support characters and maps, like it was before with FF7 remake.

Did some first tests.

I'm working on a set of tools for Dragon Age Veilguard. So far, i have dump tool to extract all files, all models can be converted. Also i have fixed the usual frostbite distorted faces. Now checking if something needs to be done with unified skeleton or textures, and then tools will be published here.

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

Good news. Issues with missing objects and incorrect normals were fixed. Now tool is really close to release.

Its getting there, I have more objects placed now. But still not all.

Adding materials... thats probably last thing its missing before release

Things are getting better. Almost everything is in place now.

Donated $50 because I believe in this site. You should too!

Tool v1.2 posted. Work is not finished, i'm looking into getting custom characters now. Also maybe i can get real hairs later. Textures not supported yet, but they can be extracted with tools for other frostbite games.

Zenhax is alive, at least it has returned as read-only. https://zenhax.com/index.php.html

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

Tool released. Its an early version (as usual), but already makes very good results.

Hi everyone! Formerly I made a text unpacker/repacker for Sniper Elite games and shared with you. However it had some problems, bugs, and was made in php, which I had troubles to make it a useable .exe to share with you. So I decided to reprogram it in a more modern language and environment. It took several days, but after all, totally worth it. I fixed several bugs, made new ones, but now it works with more Rebellion games and has more convenient usage. It usable with gui and command line too. Right now works with Sniper Elite 2-5 (the first one is too old and have different file format, have a separate repacker), Nazi Zombie Army 1-4, Strange Brigade, but probably works other Rebellion games which uses asura engine. It is downloadable from my website: http://lajti.hu/se_repacker.php I hope you will have fun to (not machine) translate with these games. Cheers!

Currently testing map objects placing. Not ready yet, but hopefully soon.

Got staticmeshes working, now time to place them on a map.

ImageHeat Download --> https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/ImageHeat

sorry for the radio silence; when Lake House fully arrives along with the QOL update tomorrow i'll make an update to the script (eta tbd) that'll have updated offsets for hopefully all previously supported models (and new ones if applicable).

Have still been working on nxds. Current progress can be followed here: https://github.com/Nenkai/FF16Tools/pull/11 The lengthy part is every table needs to be manually supported, so the past 10 or so days was spent defining all ~800 tables correctly.

The tools have been updated with texture conversion support. Since textures are located outside the models, this should be one less thing to worry about.

Well it start to be tricky. I noticed that *.HierArchy is constructor for collision meshes. It has matrix4x4. Also collision meshes uses only 3 floats all the time. So there is no confusion in order type. But it lack uv's a normals somtimes. So my best bet is output all collision meshes then extract uv's and merge it together. Which will be pain in ass without automation. EDiT: So far so good... Collision mesh. Some parts must be corrected with matrix. Assembled...

PC tool released

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.

Tools for Spider-Man 2 PC port will be released here. Right now main priority is model export/import. Usage will be very similar to Spider-Man 1 import tool. Tool already works, but has some restrictions. And these restrictions are different from SM1. For example, there is no more limit for number of bones, which means any model can be imported, including any head model, or spiderman mask. Another example is that lookgroups now have more complex layout, which is not supported yet. Second UV channel not supported now, but will be added soon.

Lot of great work being done in this thread, I've done a Lot of IDV extracting with the old QuickBMS scripts initially shared around on Xentax, and thankfully was able to back up all the files from before the new engine update, and have been extracting from those. But there's quite a lot of skins I'd like to extract to use in animations, and the old script doesn't work obviously. Thanks to everyone for their hard work in here. I've not seen the NeoXtractor before, but it seems really good, and hella helpful! Thank you for sharing it! I'm hoping to see more updates to NeoXtractor though, as it seems a lot easier and better to use just one app, to view the .npk, rather than having to decompile the entire thing, and then blindly browsing via RMA, which is what I have been doing this entire time. (I don't know how most people here get their textures, but I just use Ninjaripper 2 to extract them from the game whenever I find a model to use, as the textures are All over the place when extracted from the .npks..) Also, TeaEffTeu I've seen you around a few times and matched with you a few times recently on tha NA server! I always thought your name was fun, but I had no idea you were up to all this in the IDV community. Thanks for contributing to this, it's a huge thing for me, as someone who is a 3D animator and artist, being able to extract the models to use in Blender and such is not only fun, but just really cool. Thanks for contributing to that! Small world lol I remember altering my old BMS script in the past to kinda work when they made the new-ish .npk format after Fools Gold came out, but a better edit came along from someone else soon after. I'll make sure to share any helpful info I can involving the BMS scripts, or just the file formats in general. Thanks once again to everyone helping with this process! ^^

Thank @Franco for help me test importing text into gameresources_patch1_pc2.resources. It will be completed at least by next week or later.

My job is not to do YOUR work. My comment is for other people so they don't have the hope for something that not exist

Tut localization GOWR written by me, try it Tut translate GOWR.rar

NaughtyDogLocalizationTool.rar I edited the code a bit and now it should work for Uncharted as well.

Due to a user's request I upload the script of Mariusz Szkaradek here (because I didn't find the link any more). All kudos go to Mariusz. Important! For Windows 7 and higher it's required to copy the newGameLib folder into the blender 2.49b root directory. And no, it doesn't work with newer blender versions. Blender249[WatchDogs][PC][xbg][2014-10-25].zip

The tool is now available. Download: https://github.com/Wildenhaus/IndexV2/releases How to use:

i received a few donations and decided to make a bit more progress. i hate the way saber does things so much model download (still a bit iffy)

It's ATCA, a proprietary Qualcomm ATI/AMD format. Kuriimu2 gets the job done, just use these settings (change the width and height to 2048 for the HUD): edit: Nope, the format originated at ATI. It seems to be a slight variation on S3TC, which explains why some of the colors looked weird.

Here is a set of H2O files for Shimura's armor. The creation of obj files may not be to everyone's taste but that's what I can provide. You'll need the newest version of hex2obj for this. Read '...multiple_H2O.txt' in the zip. hex2obj, v 0.25 Use File\SaveAs Mmesh (saving of single H2O files is not supported so far for xmesh because the required code change is not a 15 minutes job). H2o files appended here. Didn't check all uvs. For some an uvbSize of 20 instead of 4 might be required.) (Tool for creation of H2O files still under development.) edit: updated the zip with H2O files shimura_samurai_armor.xmesh_H2O.zip

Tool is almost done, need to update asset lists and such.

Hello. I would like to share with you my private tutorial links collection. These are useful topics from Xentax, Zenhax and any other reverse engineering related sites that I was able to find in the Internet. I have put them into categories. You may encounter situation when one tutorial fits to few categories, but it is placed only in the category that it fits most. Also, you may encounter tutorials with "[PL]" mark, these are tuts in Polish language. If you don't understand this language, just skip them. Also be aware that I haven't read/watch some of these tutorials yet, so I can't recommend you which tutorial is the best choice, sometimes I'm still learning new things just like you and on this list you may find tuts that are not very useful for you, so don't blame me for that. 🙂 Just pick your favourite category and start learning. If you are complete newbie, I would recommend to start with tuts from category "Basic knowledge". If you have any other good source of knowledge, you can write a comment below and I will update this tutorials collection. Also remember that those links may be dead some day, so don't blame me for that and just make a copy for private use 🙂 So that's it.
