BrawlBox v0.63d (bug fixes)

[Plasmakirby1]

Do you have Open GL 1.1 (I think that's the one you need) or higher? You can't do any model previewing unless you have OpenGL.

my dad lied to me. he said we had it. thnx lots.

 

[Shadic]

Was the Interpolation update or whatever supposed to fix running? Because moving bones still makes the animation not loop properly, or whatever.

 

[Mit]

Yes its true. Though it is already possible to get SOME models in to brawl (New Super Mario bros Wii, Wario Wart Wii, Bleach vs. Crusade, Pokepark Wii, and a bunch of others). It requires some hexing though. If you want to know how, check this thread. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=263127

Yeah I'm aware of the people getting MDL0's into Brawl already. I just heard there was going to be a way to do something like convert other models to MDL0 and get them into the game. Mainly wondering if it would be possible to do this with Melee models. I really want some of the old stages in Brawl :O

Hell, it'd be great if we could get N64 models in there, too

I actually know that dae can be converted to 3ds (just google it), and since the das donkey vertex box inserts 3ds into mdl0 (sorry if I got this wrong, I have no idea how it works), this could be a method of model insertion.

The VertexBox only converts vertex data, so there's all this technological stuff that makes it so we can't insert models that way.

Yes, it does. If you're using an old animation you'll need to re-key the frames so the tangents are calculated. The previewer will show a proper representation. If it's still not working let me know.

Also, make sure that only the first and last frames are keyed for linear movement.

The model builder is not an injector/inserter. It's a way to completely build a model from scratch. The reason why the VertexBox is limited is because it needs to use the exact same vertex count and format. I refuse to make injectors for this reason.

3ds is limited in that it doesn't support vertex groups, which is necessary for skinning. If you convert vertices without taking the groups into account, it may not skin properly to the model. That's why polygons (not vertices) need to be pulled out along with the bones, hence the need for dae format. You COULD pull out a single polygon, but then you'll pretty much have most of the model extracted anyways. So, PLEASE expect to edit full models in external programs, not just the vertices. At least until the new GUI can be made.

I'm porting the animation from Captain Falcon to Ganondorf. It freaks out every loop.

Explain, or send file.

 

[leafbarrett]

OMG! I found a OBJ to .X converter! Models are so close i can poke it!
EDIT: and one for 3ds to .x!!!

There's an .x -> .mdl0 converter, so what he's saying is
.obj -> .x -> .mdl0
or
.3ds -> .x -> mdl0
Could this be the model insertion method we've been looking for?

or we could use the model rebuilder that Kryal is making. Skipping the conversion process.

 

[STUFF2o]

I'm trying to make a giant Ganon stage (like the Realm of Falcon), but I can't get the animation to work. I'm trying to change the animation on frame 0 to be like frame 61 of his wait3 animation, but the model gets all glitched up every time I paste a frame over frame 0. Is there any way to get this to work?

 

[Alphatron]

but the model gets all glitched up every time I paste a frame over frame 0

Here's your problem. Don't do that.

 

[STUFF2o]

Here's your problem. Don't do that.

Is there a way to view the collision data on frame 1 instead of 0?

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Is there a way to view the collision data on frame 1 instead of 0?

there is a way to do it just time consuming that's all
for editing frame 0 that is

Possibly, but probably no.

Your looking at the converter SZS modifier has? Correct? Well thats only intended for mario kart wii models, which has a different format to brawl. But we can make mario kart wii mdl0 files work in brawl, so in theory we could just reverse the process on brawl models, edit and do the process on the edited mdl0. If someone could point me in the direction of the 3ds to x converter, i can test this out. I highly doubt it will work though.

I dunno if this is what your looking for but.....

If you have 3ds max http://www.andytather.co.uk/Panda/directxmax_downloads.aspx

if not http://doc.51windows.net/Directx9_S...files/convertingexporting/conv3ds/conv3ds.htm

Reversing the process on Brawl models....

is hard. I'm trying right now, and there are some steps that are confusing, so I'm going with instinct. I had to start over once because I screwed up D:

What's the point in trying to figure out how to get models from other games when Kryal is working hard on it, and when RandomTBush figured out how to get Valve models in-game? Just drink your patience bottle and wait until it's released.

 

[pokelover980]

wat

I need to catch up on that thread. It gets so many pages at once, though D:

Frame 0 is the bind pose. Do not edit this. The animation itself starts at frame 1.

wuts vavle?

 

[STUFF2o]

I dunno what valve is, but I know that RandomTBush has been importing hats from Team Fortress 2 onto Jigglypuff. I'm inferring that TF2 is either a part of a collection called Valve, or made by a company called Valve.

 

[Shadic]

Are you really that lazy?

 

[darksamus77]

That made my day

 

[FrozenHobo]

wait, people don't know what valve is? i... feel... cold...

 

[RandomTBush]

...and when RandomTBush figured out how to get Valve models in-game?

Not just models from Valve games. My method would work with pretty well anything.

 

[...:::VILE:::...]

You can import models into valve games, so does that mean we could import models into HL/TF2 then into brawl?

 

[Stoney]

With apologies to Kryal:

DUDE! Were you able to do that because source games from Valve use the MDL format? Cuz when I opened their MDLs in hex editor it didn't say MDL0 so did you just super hex it a lot?!

Nope. The MDL/SMD format used for the Source games isn't even related to the Wii's MDL0. Since there's gonna be a model builder sometime soon (hopefully), I'll explain how I got it into Brawl.

I exported the hat from the original SMD file to a DAE, converted the vertex, normal and UV mapping values to hex float (by using the 3DS export method used for vertex hacking), and put those all in the MDL0 file. THEN, I took DAE and put it through the Collada Refinery, with the "Tristripper" option so that the "triangle" values were condensed into tristrips (which are so much smaller than having thousands of values for the original triangles). These are the tristrip values for the Bill's hat:

The reason I had asked for a batch hex converter a while back was so that I could convert all those values to hex. Every tristrip has a minimum of 3 values -- the first one links to the vertex point, the second is for normals, and the third is for UV mapping, and the amount of values was always a multiple of 3 because of that. Every chunk of values in between the <p> and </p> tags was for a different tristrip, so I put a "9800FF" before each and every one of those. Then, I counted the number of values between those tags and divided by 3, then changed the "FF" at the end of the "9800FF" I put in to that value (in hex) then stuck it into the model file under the Polygons section when I was done. Finally, after injecting the new values, I had to re-link every single node in the MDL0 file. I still believe that my earlier attempt had at least one incorrectly linked offset. If even a single offset in the MDL0 is off, the whole thing breaks (which is why I had so much trouble getting it working by rebuilding Jigglypuff's entire model -- using the sleep hat gave me so much less that I had to worry about re-linking).

Bolded for emphasis. The process works on ANY model because it literally rebuilds everything manually. Anybody can try it, but they should expect it to take a few weeks to do, with a high chance of error. Go to the MDL0s from Other Games thread if you want to discuss it more, this isn't the place for it.

Now...let's get back to talking about BrawlBox, okay?

Sorry, it's not happening tonight. I've spent most of my time the last few days struggling with the collada exporter, only to find that I need to refine the internal model format some more. I AM able to get rigid models into Maya (bones and all) without any trouble, it's just a question of putting them back in.



I've also discovered just how useless the Blender collada plugin is. It turns out the only definitive solution for Blender is the .blender format since nothing else works right. FBX has an ascii version which is very simple (much more than collada) so I may eventually have support for that as well.

Speaking of time, it always seems to be against me. But, I'm still making progress. This week may be more auspicious. :embarrass
