animation Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Animations

[Pepsee]

Hello, everyone!!

I've been looking everywhere for ways to export the animations from Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory but have been unable to...

Given it is an Unreal Engine 2 game (albeit, heavily edited) there's got to be a way to export the animations...

I've uploaded them in the attachment.

Thank you for your time!!

Hello, everyPepsee!

Did you try Animation Browser in Unreal Editor (UnrealEd)?

I'd be surprised if someone took up the task from scratch (mesh, skeleton, and, at the very end: the animations).

On a quick glance on CoopNPC.ukx I found this (as almost always, checked one sub mesh only):

(There's a lot of bones, around 85, so have fun to get them all with their matrices.)

No, because there is no Editor packed with Chaos Theory, there is only one for Versus which is a different engine entirely.

Also the format has been changed up drastically, with a new algorithm for compressing the animations..

I was thinking of Unreal Tournament 2004. (I owned that game but I can't seem to find it atm.)

I just installed it and tried, here's what error pops up:

Too bad. (I'll try to search for UT2004 when I have some free time later in the year.)

Here's some bones from a convert.guru online converter, no idea, why the (42?) bones are mixed up so horribly:

edit: CoopAnims.ukx contains a detailed mesh, btw:

If you search for 000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F10111213 you'll find 969 assumed animation blocks (0x199A to 0x5A8B6+).
