Brawl model extractor

[leafbarrett]

So you're saying it worked?

He's saying it converted it, but the game crashed. So it ALMOST worked.

 

[smashmaniac2008]

tell me when you ppl are done making one for the mac.

i dont think that will happen anytime soon haha
i dont believe there is any brawl editing stuff for mac, is there?

 

[illinialex24]

The hex editing slightly works for mac but barely, you can hex and edit images but you need .exe runners for some of the stuff.

Hey guys, please help me D: I have some problems with the Model extractor... When i drag FitFox.pac on the extractor nothing happens... Now i got a .dae file but how do i edit it

I'm sure if you create a model, someone will be willing to convert it for you.

You need a .dae viewer, you can use blender or 3ds Max 2009 with a collada plugin.

good point. now i feel like a jerk


but i am getting excited for the newest release!

 

[Knightcrawler]

Haha, that doesn't make you a jerk. :-P

Are you a model maker there Leaf? Oh, and yay, another Gardevoir fan! even if you do use Pokesho's Gardevoir (Only one that actually works with breasts >.>).

So, what exactly is the problem now? Just ID calling?

 

[Pharrox]

Yep, just figuring out the IDs in the file list. I can probably figure it out but looking at it in ram with Gecko, but it's something I hate doing and don't have much experience with. On the plus side, this little setback has caused me to take a look at some other files. I wrote the pat0 (texture animations) and clr0 (color animations, really fun to play with) in and out functions today. I would say I'm about 75% done with chr0 (bone animations) as well.

 

[shadowchao]

Ok, now i have tried 3ds max with collada-plugin: nothing, error...
Blender with collada-plugin: error!
then i tried photoshop and it works, but there are only some small triangles?? wtf?

EDIT: Ok, i was able to open the model"EffYoshHipdropStar.dae" , but when I try to open another Yoshi-Model it can't open it, beacause it says it has two joints?

 

[Tiberious]

Erm... is it any closer to being able to dump the Alloy models?

Previously (1.13), it would crash when trying to convert what I assume to be the polygons that cover the 'core' on them (between the chest and the hip), as Green converted fine.

There's parts to Red, Yellow and Blue that I'm trying to get ahold of for conversion to other places, and having the actual model data would be very helpful.

Yes, I'm the same person that'd messaged you on another site.

 

[MorphedChaos]

Does someone have a link to where I could download all of Brawl's models?

 

[illinialex24]

Its on Meowmix or you can extract them yourself....

 

[MorphedChaos]

Ah, thanks. That was a brainfart, eh?

 

[Pharrox]

Just a quick note. I've decided that I'll be sticking with Collada and will use .ifl files to handle texture animations. So Max will pretty much be required for viewing texture animating. Not that big of a deal since it seems like that's what most people are using anyway.

 

[CountKaiser]

I've looked through the last few pages of this thread, and it seems like all of you are making progress. Though it may be slow, it still is progress.

I'd like to say thanks for taking it upon yourselves to figure this out, guys. Must be hell trying to get this all to work.

Now I have a question, when this is done, to what extent can models be modified? Are we talking grafting one model onto another, or completely new ones?

 

[Pharrox]

Completely new models with custom animations.

Combine this with Project SA and well...

 

[CountKaiser]

Sounds amazing

But wouldn't model animation and such take a long amount of time? Just wondering.

meh, its not like theres a deadline for this stuff

In other words,

Spoiler

its Waluigi time

 

[CountKaiser]

Don't you mean Mewtwo time? >.>

 

[bleyva]

ignore post

 

[Pharrox]

Animations are easy. Shouldn't take more than a week once it becomes a focus. Texture and color animations are already done, and character animation uses essentially the same format but with a couple more variables.

 

[Roxas215]

Don't you mean Krystal time? >.>

i cosign this powerful statement!

 

[Sterowent]

Don't you mean Star Warrior time? >.>

And I file the paperwork for this enticing request!

A week? If you want something decent, it will probably take a lot longer than a week.

 

[Pharrox]

I'm just talking about the decoding of animations. It won't take much extra time to add support. Doing all the actual animations will take much longer.

Ahhhh, i see. Im hoping to see model hacks soon (though i probably wont release one until i have a full animation set for it).

Blender sucks. D:

 

[illinialex24]

Its also free.

 

[stickman]

Blender sucks. D:

you are just inexperienced with it
it can be just as good as 3ds max if you know how to use it.
watch this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE7VzlLtp-4
all models/animations were done in blender itself (the music wasnt but we have Androu1 and Dantarion's music programs for that)

If the only way textures can be applied is in a twisted, messed up way, then wouldn't they look just like that in-game?

 

[stickman]

well the thing is, nintendo and blender use completely different UV mapping techniques. (at least how i am going at it)
3ds max is professional software and is most likely close to or IS the program that nintendo used to do the models, so that's why textures work there.
if you follow my first blender video, it shows how to unwrap the 3d object, and from there it can produce a tga that you can edit for its textures, so that is the closest ive gotten with blender so far

I tried that, but I can't make heads or tails of the flattened model...

 

[stickman]

export it as a tga, edit in photoshop (make each group of triangles different colors), then place back on the model to see what maps to where

(i did something similar to map where snake's textures were)

 

[leafbarrett]

Ah.
I can kinda tell what the ears are (just working on the head), but that's about it.
(If you're wondering, it's a Lucario model edit.)

 

[leafbarrett]

*really wish I could just remove my post instead of editing it like this*

 

[grim mouser]

So ATM, taking any model in the game, doing something to it, and putting it back in doesn't work? I don't understand all the terminology here...

Game crashes. Something in the model files isn't converting properly, I think.
