Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut (PC version) (.xpps .xmesh)

[NielsGx]

People on "ModdingHaven" and "GoT modding" discord servers are stuck trying to understand .xpps and .xmesh files

Here's a sample of a few files

 

There's a tool from XeNTaX website that can read these, but it seems to only work for the PS4 version. You can only get it from their Discord server now, but I uploaded it here as an attachement.

It's just a .exe with no source code sadly
 

Right now we can export textures (.sps) thanks to this Neosis plugin to .dds or other formats

(You first need to unpack the game psarc archives with GoT Extractor)

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

shak-otay thanks thats insane🔥 How did you do it this fast?

[shak-otay]

Using hex2obj - this format is not too hard (uvs start: 0x1d0f5c, size UVB:  20), uvs half floats:

Is it possible to export the bones of models too and repack it to the original .xpps file?

[shak-otay]

Didn't check for bones; and repacking might be hard, as always.

[Dave2006]

Ok but thanks for the huge progress. I m sure we will find a way. The game is just out for a couple of days for PC and we are already this far

[Dave2006]

How did you find the start of the 3d models in hex editor?

[shak-otay]

Tried addresses after face indices' blocks. To be honest, since the vertices are shorts it's a matter of experience to find the correct start.

[Dave2006]

This type of vertices? 

[isshininu]

thanks for opening topic, I was too busy

The way how daemon's PS4 GoT tool works, is that it takes skeleton from skeleton xpps (for example, hero.xpps) and then adds all referenced armor meshes *.xmesh from "meshes" folder.

Hard to tell, is that "signed shorts"? Which app is it?

It's a little bit tedious to get all the parts - script required:

the models as shown in hex 2 obj is from the file .xmesh?

[shak-otay]

yes

It is a bit tricky to get all the parts, but there is a file table pointing to each submesh.  It's just a case of parsing it properly as it doesn't always seem to work, but here's all the parts from hero_ghost_armor:

I used Model Researcher and for Type the Short_sig but its very hard to find the beginning of the model like i said before. I think I got 1 result but with many holes and was pretty fucked up.

Without the parameters inserted into MR noone can tell what the problem might be.

[Dave2006]

Thanks but I'll leave that to the professionals, analyzing hex code is not my thing. I'll make some new Katana models in blender and hopefully I can convert them to xmesh soon.

Can you upload the exported .obj models somewhere? I want to try to import them into blender add the .sps textures over them and edit these textures over the model and export then the editet textures back to the game. So its easier to make good looking textures and add decals ...

Thanks

Well, it's not a model delivery forum.😁

Trying to make some tool (seems there's up to 9 lods for the coat at least.)

Some weird stuff, too. Not sure, whether I should leave it as is.
