FlatOut *.bgm / *.w32

[mrmaller1905]

I tried Hex2Obj but I got broken car models. Any help in fixing this problem and reversing FlatOut .bgm and .w32 (map models)?

The importer plugin is already included in ZModeler.

Once you've found the starting point of vertices it's rather simple. But you'll need to find the sub meshes. (Where do they start/end?) Using a vertex count of 4999 will give you a whole lotta mess.

Well, you can use 4999, of course. But you'll have the doors mixed in, for example.

You can see it from extra lines in the uv map, that it's suggested to divide this up.

Should be possible to correct the positions of the clumped parts. Guess it's not the values from "BMOD"

Are those bones, and do you care for .w32?

[shak-otay]

Guess you could consider it as bones' matrices (although it's a car) and no, I have no plans to dig deeper into .w32.

yes you are right as always)

 

I made a plugin for Noesis. the file also contains several vertex buffers with different strides, and one index buffer with different types of polygons (triangles and triangle_strips), all submesh data is indicated after the index buffer, BMOD indicates submeshes that are tied to MESH

Is there a program that can import or create custom FlatOut .w32 map models using Blender?

Hi. I saved these scripts a long time ago and knew that they would be useful to someone. Use FOJ-blender_0-2d_SSE2

I tried Blender and its script but it won't work for FlatOut 1 and load the terrain. Is there an alternative or a workaround that works for the first one, and can someone share the Noesis plugin written by Durik256?
