I was able to find all the correct maps for the mesh but for 3 that are using some kind of cloth or metal. The UV's just needed flipped that's why they looked all crazy at first. Nothing too major I'm sure they are there or its something simple the UV don't look too complicated. A tutorial on how to get these would be awesome. I'd like to get your Tutankhamun. He looks really cool as well. Hope to hear from you so you can explain how to get these into DDS form like you did. Or even where you found these because I was looking all over.

It applies to the files in the *.dat farm that I can help or show you how to do. (viewtopic.php?p=35173#p35173)
If you have a raw texture map of the Anvil engine, I can convert it to the format you want. (dds, tga, png...)

Game engine changed with AC Unity. And the textures are now in another *.forge file. As I said, you can see them easily. Mesh names and texture names are the same. (Mostly)

TSelman61 could you give us some tips on how to convert the textures to any other format? or maybe give some early version if you are creating some tool? Maybe we can help somehow
DJ Normality I know you used Model Researcher to get the 3D models, but could you give us some tips, I spent literally hours trying to get any model, but no luck

Guys you are doing an amazing job, really impressive keep going I'm sure that you will get a system ready soon

I did a tutorial on it but honestly the best tutorial is on the site. Lazov did a good job at laying out the basics. I'm sure I looked at that 100 times. And yeah some kind of explination on how you was able to make them. Or what header / footer goes into the file to make it a dds. I'm working on so many games.

Unfortunately I can not do any tools to convert the texture maps. There are different programs for converting textures on the Internet. Maybe this place can help. http://wiki.tbotr.net/index.php?title=A ... exture_Map
I think it's easy to convert textures. I recommend that you examine the raw textures with the hex program.

Well checked it out no luck. Not sure now to find the file size or the correct MipMap. I looked at the files and seen how they are but that's new to me. I don't see the files like you can yet. But the files from Resident Evil 2 One Shot Demo are .tex and they are the same too. If i knew more about how to build the file structure I could do it better. Could you maybe look at these files for me ?

What software do you use to convert the files into dds? I assume is something similar to Model Researcher but for textures, but I couldn't find any :/
By the way, I did managed to partially convert a 3d model of a character, I did get all the vertex and Uvs but only part of the geometry, I presume it was because it have different objects on the file but I couldn't find the start of the second object

By the way someone did managed to convert a non character files, look like the have a different order or something

Thank you guys

Textures are done by manually changing the bytes in a Hex Editor.
Models are done by Model Researcher.

As for your problem the Faces and Vertex offsets are always in a line with each other. Just find your error. Could be 1 byte off or just a line up. Never know. I'd have to see what your talking about.

And now I looked. I managed to convert the "0000000000001c6b.tex" file.



But there are people who are already converting them on the Internet.
I haven't researched too much. (I don't know what they're like. )Have you tried the tools there?

WOW. Man your good! Thank you. I did look for some programs but i dont know what I'm looking at when it comes to that. I'm trying to understand it. What is a good program ? I will try to refer to your picture but im still kind of lost. I would like to convert these files so i can map the police station for RE2. And well all the other models I extract. Hate to ask you everytime to do a texture for me. Because I honestly dont even know what texture goes to what. So I'd have to go in an manually check each one so I'm going have to know how eventually. Ill keep researching to see what I can find. And do you have like some base .DDS files with headers you copy and paste from ? If so them would be nice to have. Thanks again.

Just try to convert any not character model, like a sculpture, a building or just a head, the system is just different, and the rules applied to the character just don't work :/

Normally, the resolution of the picture is 4096x4096.

Can you at least show me how to put the header in ? Im still lost on the whole thing. Even a few pictures of the process would help. I appreciate your help but you just doing it and now showing me/everyone how really isn't helpful.

Here's a video of the extraction. I can post the offsets to the verts,faces,uv's and the padding if anyone needs them for research.

Thank you DJ Normality, I already figure out that part, for outfits and props, where is not working is on the heads, I managed to get the points, but I'm not able to get the faces :/ I'll probably figure it out with time

They have issues.. Look at the offsets to the Faces. Youll see we have gaps. I have had to jump 2bytes sometimes even 4 to get it back on. I know the current body to Tutankamun is split into about 9 different sections.

EX.
VERTEX - 40855
COUNT 2056
PAD 6
[H1]
FACES - 111059
COUNT - 737
PAD 0
[H2]
FACES - 115505
COUNT - 3580
UV - 743
COUNT 2507

Looking at this file the information got all crazy around 737 faces. If we go to the offset I find that it looks somewhat like this.
00 EF 00 EF 00 EE then it goes 00 00 00 00, an then 01 00 02 00 03. This gap of zeros is whats throwing off the mesh. You have to go in and find where your errors are. Here is an example. This was 1 faces solo messing up my data. Can you see what I'm talking about ? I literally had to put 1 in for the Count. Export and move on to the next set. Once they were all exported I imported them all and merged them together to from the part I needed.

Header may be different. It's the same picture, but it's a different format.



In the game's files, each texture type has a different format.
Maybe you can learn by working on many pictures. Examine different formats.
Or you can get help from someone else.

I still don't see what your talking about. Here is the header.

I tried to paste in your header from the files you gave me and they give me this.

All i need is these files for Anubis.

Look, man ....
You were very disrespectful to me. My heart was broken. I already did what you wanted for you.
I hope everything will be better.

Image starts after 0xB3.

Diffuse Textur maps BC1(DXT1)
Mask BC2(DXT3 or 5 ) I may be wrong.
Normal Maps BC7 DX10 or 11

Or use this https://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19324 But not so perfect. But at the stage of development

Very welcome. It was a hard extraction but I see that someone was able to create a program. Its called Blacksmith and it can be found here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
