June 17, 20242 yr Hello! I've been wanting to rip models from this game, But have little to no knowledge about the process I've tried playing around with model researcher but I've only managed to get somewhat of a visual outline of the mesh which is also distorted, Due to the fact I was literally guessing values based on any patterns I could find in a hex editor Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!

June 18, 20242 yr Author Woah, How'd you do that? Sorry if it was a huge hassle, I'm aware these kinds of things aren't simple, Especially proprietary formats. Nontheless, I appreciate your help! 57 minutes ago, shak-otay said: What a hassle: spaceengine, part
June 18, 20242 yr Supporter I took 96 face indices at 0x3BC in spaceshipengine zmesh and combined them with the vertices at 0x12BC. (Some of them had to be deleted.) But this method doesn't seem to be applicable to bigger zmesh files.

But this method doesn't seem to be applicable to bigger zmesh files. So its basically impossible to get the models? (other than small meshes) I wonder if the day one versions of the .zmesh models would be less encrypted? If you want, Think you can take a look at the 1.0 versions? From the looks of it, I only see a size difference and its written slightly different when viewed in a hex editor compared to the latest versions from 2015, if that's any help Thank you in advance samples_2.rar

(But knowing the unencrypted data should make things easier, a little bit...) !.0 version mesh format seems to be simple: Spaceship, v 1.0 Edited June 18, 20242 yr by shak-otay

And could this method be done for the other models as well? Perhaps via a noesis plugin? (if possible of course) Apoligies If im asking for too much, Thank you regardless I appreciate it
June 18, 20242 yr Supporter 59 minutes ago, Nova videos said: Nice! Is it possible to get uvs as well by any chance? uvs at 0x23f3e, UVB size= 8 Quote And could this method be done for the other models as well? For version 1.0? I wouldn't know why not. You can easily test it. Parameters in last picture can serve as guidance. Quote Perhaps via a noesis plugin? Why not? But I'm too busy with other things...

That's something I cant figure out..
June 21, 20242 yr Supporter Face and vertex counts are DWORDs at offset 0x1338 in spaceship. Edited June 21, 20242 yr by shak-otay
