Creature Conflict: The Clan Wars uncommon .LWO & .LWS models & animations

[SeriousNorbo]

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could help in recovering models and character animations from a 2005 PC game Creature Conflict.
Assets were exported from main data pack using QuickBMS script from this topic: https://www.zenhax.com/viewtopic.php@t=3992.html


Some information i got about the models so far:

The .LWO is a mesh with or without rigging, while .LWS is a single animation.

These are not typical Lightwave files, they lack any headers. Rigged character meshes seem to have "_xsi" in the name which made me thought they may be Autodesk Softimage files, but i couldn't get them imported into Softimage as XSI or as Lightwave.

Using Model Researcher i was able to determine Vertex block starts at 0x120 in each .LWO file, but i wasn't succesfull at finding polygons or rigging.



I attached a few character and weapon models, along with animations for one of the characters and one weapon, plus exported textures for UV map research.

Yeah, the DWord face indices totally don't fit but I have a déjà vue of this picture, maybe on former Xentax?

edit: correct vertex start is 0x144

Hmm... I never heard about this game being mentioned on Xentax or on any other reverse engineering forum (it's quite obscure game), aside from Zenhax topic I made years ago, i may be mistaken.

So is polygon data recoverable from those files? or did it got lost during decompilation with quickBMS? If it helps i can upload the original archive before decompilation
I see the edit now, so luckily no data got lost during conversion. Awesome!
