I'm requesting help with extracting the model of the Leaper from the prototype that was uploaded on nexus by RevlisilveR. It's meant for the xbox emulator Xenia.

I managed to Unpack the prototypes contents and I have the file that contains the mesh and skeletal data of the leaper, but it is in .rcb format and it's cause some complications its contents. I've tried scripts for #DS Max and Noesis but they do not workbecause they require a .rcb.win file.

I also was recommended to try and use a script for Blender 2.49 that could potentially work. I had difficulties setting Blender and Python 6 working and gave up on that.

This is the model I hope to obtain.

send the samples, i'll take a look

Here you go

That file is too small to contain mesh data, but it does have what looks like skeleton data, and that's about it.

Well, that sucks. Looks like i need to go digging around again.

AH HA! This has to be it! Its full of EARS Models in .dff format. It also has textures in the itxd format.

Just tried using the DragonFF addon in blender and it doesnt work. I also tried the itxd script for Noesis for the textures and that didnt work either. Looks like they need their own specialized scripts.

See my other posts. I'm dumb and missed the "Quote" button

I have attached a python script for exporting the leaper model from the bigfile0.viv archive

You will need Python 3.8 or newer with numpy and Pillow.

To install these run pip install numpy pillow

Then run python leaper_export.py "path\to\bigfile0.viv" output_folder

i haven't thorougly tested this script with other models, however it should work

To run with other models:

First list all models using python leaper_export.py "path\to\bigfile0.viv" --list

That prints every model folder with the exact options to export it, for example:

chars\player\rigged\export (1 mesh files, in 1 streams)

--stream "ch03_vslice\ch03_vslice.str" --match "chars\player\rigged\export"

Copy that line onto the export command and add an output folder and a name:

python leaper_export.py "path\to\bigfile0.viv" out_player --stream "ch03_vslice\ch03_vslice.str" --match "chars\player\rigged\export" --name player

leaper_export.py

here are some renders

This is HUGE! I'll try this tomorrow and also test out other models.

Thank you so much!

So, I tested this script today and it works great! Even works well with other models.
