We are thrilled to inform you that we have successfully created a backup copy of all ZenHax data! Posted here on reshax, it includes: - 70590 posts in 13300 topics - 480 bms scripts - 1700 tools There are other backups, but they have disadvantages: - zenhax.com backup is slow and lacks attachments. - archive.org copy includes attachments, but its even slower. Both of them are hard to search and navigate. Now this backup has attachments, its quick and you can easily search it. Stay tuned for more updates! 🎉

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.

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.

First release:

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.

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:

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.

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. 🙂

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

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

I made an importer that import every tmd2 model correctly. it can read models with more than 255 bones, all uv layers, all vertex color layers, tangents, binormals, both sets of normals, etc... https://www.nexusmods.com/bleachrebirthofsouls/mods/63

Okay, here's a little bit of an update. I've added support for all the vertex types, and the textures should all load correctly now. I've also included the extra UVs where available, although they're not presently used. The bones are still messed up in a lot of cases, so that still needs some work. The materials also need more work. I've disabled the vertex colours for now as that was messing up a lot of the meshes as well. bleach_rebirth_tmd2.zip

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

I'm going to update my PS4 tool for this game to support PC remaster. Maybe it will only be some small change.

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

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

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

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).

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...

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

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

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

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)

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.

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.
