April 23, 20242 yr Supporter For the Zeppelin: the uvs look like in the picture. This should be    rapi.rpgBindUV1Buffer(VertBuff, noesis.RPGEODATA_SHORT, 32, 16) in Noesis. hmm, on my old PC it works... Edited April 23, 20242 yr by shak-otay

All looks good, I'm pretty sure submeshes are in correct places for a lot of the models now (with exception of landing gear on devastator - unless that's how it actually is). So it looks like the only real issues left relate to material mapping/uvs? there's a few odd 'fireballs.x' meshes but probably just meant to be animated there's also a few oddly positioned meshes still, but could just be how they were actually modelled or set up here's a reference for the above (sh_boss_zep), you can ignore the interior hole thingy since there are different models for that, just mainly the top cone bit i'll send these over just in case there's something actually wrong with them! If you want any more samples do let me know 🙂 and hope the image spam isn't too annoying 😅  sh_boss_zep.7z  Edited April 23, 20242 yr by notameowcelot
April 23, 20242 yr Author Localization oh forgot to ask! is there any sort of case to deal with .x's that carry extensions with the file name in them? or would I just have to rename 'em all? since there seems to be separate parts for them, so i'd have to figure out what to do there Â

April 23, 20242 yr Author Localization testing as well.. i noticed that the UVs all seem to be there..they're just scaled very low for some reason?
April 24, 20242 yr Author Localization a quick investigation using SS_boss_zep.x - i realised that the game may be blending multiple textures together - but the UV sets aren't aligned correctly when I try to scale them up, and these parts are separate submeshes as well. is it possible that models can have 2 uv sets by any chance? or is this some other issue?  here's how the part with the logo's uvs look when unscaled by default after importing  Final Boss - Copy.7z Edited April 24, 20242 yr by notameowcelot
April 25, 20242 yr Author Localization yeah...definitely some odd UV issues (2003) going on from my investigations. UVs in some models seem to get clipped and end up in weird places, or straight up look wonky when converted from .x. plus the fact I have to manually scale each mesh's uvs up to try roughly match how they look ingame for some reason this is specifically pertaining to zep_pandora.x. i think i've already sent it in past uploads - but if you can't find it, let me know and I can send it. unfortunately my max total size for uploads/attachments is 80kb for some reason, so had to resort to Imgur for sharing these pics: ingame Blender UV sheet, scaled roughly  Any idea what's going on here and how to fix? Would be greatly appreciated! been trying to mess with the UV part of the .x plugin but can't nail it down at all, so hoping someone else can figure it out!  cheers 🙂  Edited April 25, 20242 yr by notameowcelot
April 25, 20242 yr Author Localization as a side note as well, I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve the original materials and their names..but no clue where they're stored, if they're even in the .x file... @shak-otay@Durik256did you notice anything that could be those when you were messing with the 2003 files? if not I might have to dig deeper
April 28, 20242 yr you guys dont know who i am but can i get all the models and meshes for crimson skies high road to revenge some halo CE modders really want these models
May 3, 20242 yr Author Localization checking in here! haven't been able to do much progress, outside of trying to learn more about the .bin format these models are usually sourced from. hoping someone here's figured out the uv issues by any chance?

May 3, 20242 yr Supporter @notameowcelot: this is the sub mesh for the logo. You might try adjust the vt values (using excel or something) until they fit the texture. ss_boss_zep_Logo.zip

May 3, 20242 yr Supporter I think I found UV Scale value. Need more testing... Well it looks like in engine... Edited May 3, 20242 yr by h3x3r

That looks to be it for sure 🙂 was trying to figure out this issue for a while now. How's the UV scaling work? Edited May 3, 20242 yr by notameowcelot
May 3, 20242 yr Supporter How's the UV scaling work? U * UVScale -V * UVScale Maybe there are also position values, but they are too small to affect anything

U * UVScale -V * UVScale Maybe there are also position values, but they are too small to affect anything where is UVScale determined in this instance? also, did you notice if there was any secondary uv sets by any chance? that's something I'm still not sure how it works, unless this fixes that as well attempts to figure it out myself are not going well...

May 4, 20242 yr Supporter Scaling in (older) blender behaves a little bit strange. And it would be required to have different ratios for x and y. If you scale the tga file in y-axis (outside blender), save it and load it into blender the displayed texture on the mesh doesn't change. Very odd... In newer blender (v3.x) it seems to work "perfectly" because you can change the ratios for x and y independently. Â Edited May 4, 20242 yr by shak-otay
