MDL0 files from Non-Brawl games

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Do you have any idea on the compression method that's used for "Kirby's Return to Dreamland"? I know that the newer ntcompress.exe supports the LZ77, Huffman, and LH compression methods.

 

[Segtendo]

Bonkers.
Over Dedede.
It must happen.

I'm on it.

 

[KingDryBones]

also, i request Jigglypuff with the Crash ability hat! that would be most epic!

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

RTB, could you export the electric hat and put it on brawl kirby, so i can make a PSA?

 

[rihuganon]

Be Warned!

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Now that I think about it...

Would it be possible to model swap the Bomb cap with the Sword cap? I'm probably jumping the gun though, as I don't even know if that game's contents can be hacked.

 

[John2k4]

RandomT, what arguments did you run ntcompress with that allowed it to decompress the Return to Dreamland files? I haven't been able to get them converted into something readable yet with default options.

--

You've got "Kirby's Epic Yarn" on the MDL0 list in the OP twice.

If you've got the right version of NTCompress.exe, when you run it in one of the command prompt, one of the options should be "-x". If it's there, put the following in the command prompt:

ntcompress.exe -x Base.brres.cmp

...with the Base.brres.cmp being the name of the compressed archive.

And what do you mean? There were never two "Kirby: Epic Yarn" entries in the first post. I didn't just go and fix that up all of two seconds ago, nope nope.

 

[John2k4]

Thanks, apparently I've got an older version of NTCompress.

 

[RandomTBush]

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has BMD -- OH, WAIT! No it doesn't!

Well, the demo version does. I don't think Nintendo's gonna make such a drastic change from model formats before the full game release. Anyway, the models are stored similarly to New Super Mario Bros. Wii's models, where the head (and hands, in this case) are separate models -- use NTCompress.exe and U8Tool to decompress the files.

 

[hotdogturtle]

Er, where did that model come from? Since when was there a demo?

 

[standardtoaster]

There was an SS demo leak apparently.

 

[RandomTBush]

There was an SS demo leak apparently.

Yeah, the European E3 demo was leaked, and just out of curiosity I checked it to see if it had BMD files, but was surprised when it didn't (considering Wind Waker and Twilight Princess did).

 

[Segtendo]

I smell a Link hack in the future...

 

[RandomTBush]

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games has MDL0 (packed in the "William.cpk" file), and I'm certain that PokéPark 2: Beyond the World has it, too. More on those in a bit.

 

[John2k4]

Could you add this to your Non-MDL0 Wii titles list?:

Williams Pinball Collection (Resource.rez)

Can't tell what's in the rez file, but it's around 600MB, and apparently has all the game-related content in it.

 

[hotdogturtle]

and I'm certain that PokéPark 2: Beyond the World has it, too. More on those in a bit.

Oh, I forgot that this game was coming out today. Did you already obtain a copy of it, or are you just assuming that it has MDL0 because of the first game? If you do have it, can you rip something or make a list of all the Pokemon in the game? I don't think that there's any info on the fansites yet.

I'll have it soon-ish. And yes, I'm assuming it does since the first one has it. I'll post up a complete list of all of the included Pokémon within an hour or two.

And technically, it's not supposed to be released until tomorrow. That didn't stop Skyward Sword or MaSatLOG from being released early, though...

 

[hotdogturtle]

Oh, Bulbapedia says November 12th, which it already was by the time I saw your post, so I thought that it got released tonight.

 

[Demonslayerx8]

ehh damn im having a hard time ripping these Skyward Sword models >.>

always seem to be getting a "#####.arc_NONE.bin" while in HxD while opening it, it shows the bress header.. and MDL0 and TEX0 data.... so im stumped :srs:

Sounds like the problem I was getting when I had an old version of ntcompress.exe.

The newer one is ~120kb, and should have a -x [Decompress] option in command line.

hmm really? the NTCompress i have is the 1 that RTB gave me like an hour ago... is urs updated or something?

edit:
the 1 i have is 112kb in size

 

[John2k4]

That sounds about right.... are you running it with the -x option?

I run mine like this:

ntcompress.exe -x "filename"

 

[Demonslayerx8]

That sounds about right.... are you running it with the -x option?

I run mine like this:

ntcompress.exe -x "filename"

well whenever i open it, it closes asap... even running it as an admin, it doesnt stay open

 

[John2k4]

You can see what it is saying by making a batch file, and running it like this:

for %%i in (*.arc) do ntcompress.exe -x "%%i"
pause

The pause at the end will give you a chance to see what it is saying.
--
It doesn't stay open when you click on it, because it is a command line program, and doesn't have an interface to show. Run it from command prompt, or from a batch file.

Batch file:

Spoiler

Open Notepad
Paste that in
Save it as filetype: All Files, with a filename extension of .bat (ex: decompress.bat)
Run it

I don't have a microphone, but I can message as much as you need.

azjohn2k4

 

[RandomTBush]

Will have a full list of Pokémon within an hour.

(EDIT: 238 Pokémon files. A bunch of them are missing from the first PokéPark, a lot of them are new to PokéPark 2. Organizing them all now...!)

 

[John2k4]

RTB that looks amazing.
--
What do you mean by "a lot of them are missing"? The files are not there? o.o

 

[Segtendo]

I think he means that some from the original Pokepark are gone from this one.
And awesome. More Pokemon hacks

 

[Demonslayerx8]

and once again... thxs for the help :D



and good find RTB!!!

 

[John2k4]

Hmm...are those the first Gen. 5 3D models available, then?

 

[hotdogturtle]

Yes; a lot of us have been waiting for the game to release because of this.

 

[Demonslayerx8]

all of the models from Skyward Sword would have to be manually placed.. it looks like its all in pieces just like Okami

[hotdogturtle]

Nice, it has practically all of my favorites from gen 5 in it.

When people first started getting MDL0s from Pokepark 1, someone posted this data file from the game that you could open with a hex editor and highlight a portion of it to save a brres from it. They had the brreses for every Pokemon in them. Is there something like that that you can get and legally post from this game?

And I have to ask, what are the cupcakes? >_>

Use U8Tool to unpack the Res00-Res03.dan files. As for the cupcakes:

Simply put, they have alternate models where they're holding cupcakes.

 

[Demonslayerx8]

ok i made an update on skyward sword... after u have extracted the files... go into the folder, then open up the oarc and rarc folder and u'll find more .arc file... if you extract those, you'll get even more models!

 

[Segtendo]

A Cleffa doll?
lol
