angry birds go track extraction (.stm, .dat)

[testing4562145]

i was able to extract the stm formats (exient streamed envirnoment) of the tracks with this scriptstm.zip, though the model is in a .dat file format, the rest of the models in the game uses .xgm, exient's properitary model format

some of the files i was able to analyze inside:

.mp1 - material file

.tex - texture reference, game uses exient xgt

.q02, .q03 - submesh references

.pvs - scene file

Got a track point cloud from the .dat file:

Tracks are boring, aren't they? How about a car model sample?

the cars are stored in .xgm instead, i think transformers uses the same format for it's levels

Yeah, they use xgm, and mariokart64n from XenHax already made a script that imports those into blender, levels and cars.
Tho, AB Go's format is different. I tried importing Go's track meshes with this, but it didn't work. Maybe someone could modify this script to work with those files?

XGM.py

Has anyone fixed the script for the track meshes?

stm, .dat, .xgm. Nobody clearly said what is what. Somebody said .stm are tracks, another one said .xgm are models (cars) but no one knows what exactly their format is.

No one wrote about the difference between Angry bird tracks and those of AB Go.

So I have my doubts that anyone will care for the XGM.py script.

this applies for the rest of the models besides the tracks (like the characters, objects, menu)
