Alan Wake 2

I wonder if someone can figure out if the game has a dev menu sitting around. I know control had one.

Texture files (*.tex) are just renamed dds.🧐

Edited November 4, 2023 by erik945

[SilverEzredes]

While that's true not every .tex file is a texture file, Bink video files also share the .tex extension. You can just use this instead of renaming:

How did you manage to open Binfbx in blender?

Is there a plugin for Noesis?

There isn't a plugin yet for Noesis that I've seen, or a Blender one for that matter.  It's a tricky format, totally different to previous games, so it might take a little while.  I've been looking into the format for a week or so and there's a lot of unknown data in the file to work out.

 could this be related to the fact that they are using OpenUSD or is that just a workflow thing and doesn't affect the end result?

Has anyone found the stems/segments of Herald of Darkness music audio from the Musical part of the game? I can find the radio version but not the stems/segments.

Ninja Ripper has already done this in the last version. Does the ribs of the texture coordinates of the characters really work in the current version?

[erik945]

I've run out of ideas. 
For now I can offer this script for 3ds Max. Can import geometry and UVs for main characters. Everything else can't. Basically, I just found the required offsets and choise its depending on the file name.

The path to the file is written in line 50

I still have a long way to go before deciphering the format, so I decided to post this temporary script.

Has anybody had luck extracting the video files? I'm trying to get the videos from the We Sing chapter and the Yoton Yo film in high quality, but I am rather new to this stuff and have only been able to figure out ripping audio. If anyone has any steps to follow, I'd really appreciate it.

thank you very much! I did a quick test and couldn't import Rose or Tim, but I got the characters I was looking for.

[erik945]

 

What's the problem with Rose and Tim? Everything works correctly for me.

[kamentari]

ha, I apologize, I'm an idiot - I copied and pasted the file path without the double backslash, added them and got the models. Thank you again.

[IXProd9]

Thanks for the tools, so far pretty basic, and too much of a hassle going back and forth with 3DSMax, but we can now get the models properly with UVs and textures, super cool to study!

[erik945]

 

I'm trying to understand the structure of the skeleton. Here are two symmetrical bones.

--" 45   offset   0xefaL   -0.788011   -0.615662        0.0   -0.615662   0.788011        0.0        0.0        0.0       -1.0    1.10369   -1.09195   0.012721    0.15665    1.53434   0.0996552   0.00600322         43   R_upArm_JNT"
--" 37   offset   0xc3aL   -0.788011   -0.615662        0.0   0.615662   -0.788011        0.0        0.0        0.0        1.0   -1.10369    1.09195   -0.0127211        0.0        0.0        0.0        0.0         35   L_upArm_JNT"

Typical matrix 4x4 float. But WHY is the last quaternion of L_upArm_JNT (position) equal to 0???

Worked a bit with my friend and I got Alan import into Blender with textures, if anyone has insight to the material set up that would be very useful.
While doing so, I realized the model was imported flipped? Don't know if that was in 3DsMax as I didn't do that step. 

 

[Fernandes]

"-- No ""*"" function for undefined"

What am I doing wrong? At startup, this error crashes, the Script editor opens and 491 lines are allocated

[erik945]

 

What model? Is the path correct?

Thank you, the problem is solved

[Contro]

Is there any way to rip the models that doesn't involve 3DSMax? I don't have the program and I don't particularly want to start paying for it either.

Edited November 15, 2023 by Contro

[Shteblanc]

Is there a way to convert "string_table.bin" files into readable txt? They are comprehensible but I wish it were more comfortable

[erik945]

 

Something became clear in the bones. But the skeleton is not symmetrical. And where the hell is his right leg???.😅

It looks like Binfbx only has some kind of stripped-down skeleton. May be the full structure is stored in Binskeleton?

Could you try to make the same script for cars in your spare time?

As far as I understand, they do not use a skeleton, the main thing is geometry and UV
