007 Everything or Nothing .xbc file help needed [XBOX]

[AxelNoir]

Hello there,

 

Forgive me if I may have missed an already existing tool for this but I'm interested in looking into the files for 007 Everything or Nothing on Xbox. Most of the main content seems to be compressed into .viv files used by EA back in the day which I was able to unpack. I believe most of the character models and assets are stored in the .xbc format inside the map file themselves. I haven't come across any information regarding this yet online anywhere so if anyone would be willing to help me look into this I'd greatly appreciate it. I've provided a sample below.

Ah I see thanks for this! It seems to have worked and outputted 4 files from the xbc file earlier. 2 of them are .dat files, 1 of them is .cl5 and one .bnk. I think the bnk might be audio related data and cl5 seems to be responsible for script actions or something or effects in the game. I'm not really able to see what the .dat files are unfortuantely but here's a sample if anyone's interested:

From the .dat file extracted from the xbc sample:

(char needs some fiddling to find out start of face indices. Noesis used for displaying only - so no script)

Oh this is cool, glad to see some progress on this. Which dat file did you find this information in? Do you think you could share some of the faces/indices you located for these as a start?

[shak-otay]

.dat extracted from the xbc in your opener post.

The algo for the face indices and/or assignment to suiting vertex blocks are troublesome.

Thus fake strips are used in the 2nd picture.

I wrote some code to get the face indices but didn't get the idea. They might be relative...

After having tricked around with these annoying polygons with no success on trying to find suiting vertex start addresses I decided to switch to MeshLab, finally.

The face is not really nice (my MeshLab experience is rather low) but it feels like a victory over these shitty polygons, haha.

Too bad, face reconstruction is a sincere problem:
