Conflict: Desert Storm .evo

[mrmaller1905]

I tried Hex2Obj but I'm getting broken characters (static meshes are not affected). Can someone fix the character mesh problem from all Conflict games?

Check the files' structure. you can't handle the format using hex2obj, afaics.

Can someone make a new plugin for Noesis or Blender to fix character problems?

What's the H2O file of that .evo? ..ok, found it.

(UVpos=28 very likely.)

There's 188 vertex blocks like so (vaddr vCount), but I can't seem to get the tristrips FIs fit to them except for the first block:

v: 1edf8 109
v: 20264 53
v: 20c50 2
v: 20cac 6
v: 20dc8 3
v: 20e54 2
v: 20eb0 2
v: 20f0c 3
v: 20f98 4
v: 21054 2
v: 210b0 2
v: 2110c 2
v: 21168 4
v: 21224 2
v: 21280 2
v: 212dc 7
v: 21428 2
v: 21484 3
v: 21510 3
v: 2159c 5
v: 21688 35
v: 21d14 2
v: 21d70 2
v: 21dcc 2

...

(The 2nd FIs' block which doesn't uses tristrips fits for the fst v-block only, too.)

1149 vertices look like a valid point cloud, at least:

Can someone write a standalone Python script that converts Conflict Desert Storm EVOs to OBJ or GLTF without Noesis or Blender?

Why does it need to be standalone now?

Trying to find a tool that converts Conflict Desert Storm EVOs to GLTF or OBJ. Does HERO01_ARMSTRONG.EVO contain bones?

That doesn't answer my question.

Is the character model HERO01_ARMSTRONG.EVO you analyzed using hex2obj good or clean or T-posed character?

[shak-otay]

I checked Armstrong's head only and could align the first FI block only.

a guy with the nickname "Sparkos168" writes to me in discord with the same questions and formats. I understood that this is "mrmaller1905"

The Noesis plugin you made gives improper result where the character model HERO01_ARMSTRONG.EVO is clumped or distorted. Can you update the Noesis plugin you written to unclump character models and make them T-posed and include bones to fix this?

[Durik256]

i didn't make a plugin, it's a manual mesh search. you need to build a skeleton and then apply offsets matrix, weight and bones to position the mesh.

Can you analyze HERO01_ARMSTRONG.EVO using SkelFinder or MeshFinder for bones?

[Durik256]

no, because the matrices are in local coordinates, and the file structure is chunky, so to get the skeleton you need to write at least a script.

i made plugin for Noesis for [*.evo]

Can you share the plugin for Noesis you made for free?
