Closers .XMD animation files

[TheMarvelousMrL]

Hello. I recently came over and made a post here to ask for help finding a method to extract the models from Closers with the bones and find a way to open the animation files that are in a unique format to view/export with the models. I got a solution/method for extracting the models thanks to the wonderful users who responded to my initial post but I still have yet to find a way to open the .XMD files and figured this was the better place to get help regarding the animation files. There was a post I found over on a Chinese website here where it seems like someone was able to open the animation files and pair them with converted FBX files but from what info I got via google translate it seems like if the tool was even posted publicly to the page that its locked behind a link that is only accessible for those with an account. I have some raw character files here If anyone is up for looking into them and helping me find a way to open and pair the animation files with the models and a method to export them or if there is someone who knows of the method from the site or any other method in general and could share it that would be immensely helpful

Hello, well, I don't know the method from that site nor any specific method.

But it's 141 (or 149) bones in the .x files and the .xmd files don't contain bone name strings.

So good luck then.

You might try to give the .xmd file some structure, searching for 4100000000 (would be a good candidate, maybe).

The bone count assumed to be at 0x12 but that matched for motion_rogue.xmd only.

edit: interestingly the sequence FFFF7F3F0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

is being found 148 times. So that's what I'd call a "big match".

This might mark the start of the bone data blocks, whatever data/frames is contained in.

(Might interfere with below tables but at this point I have to leave...)
