Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Porting Thread (HD assets in PCSX2: A Discussion)

I'm sure that it's within the realm of possibility for model hacking; I don't think anyone has tried it though. It's perfectly possible to open and decompile the .pmo (BBS) and .mdls (KH1) model formats and put them into a program, but I don't know if they keep all their bones/meshes or not, nor do I know if anyone has made it so you can save one as the other.

However, as we saw with the translation thread, all you need is a knowledgeable person, and it can be done with the proper tools.

I think, though, that the model you posted first is the cutscene model and not a gameplay one. The eyes look too defined to be anything Square would put into a game (lol).

I think KH2 has some of the model assets from Re:CoM, which should be in a more similar file format. I know that it has Ansem's combat model at the very least. Is there a dumper for Re:CoM? That would seem to be the best way to get higher res textures that the PS2 can actually handle.

 

I have search I don't think anyone could hack RE:COM sadly. But I agree if we could rig the DDD model to the high quality cutscene of KH1, then the RE:COM one to combat/fish face or at least re-texture combat/fish face then it would look better. I am sure Xentax is a better place asking for this, if anyone there is up for it.

Man it's things like this that make me wish I can code. If I could maybe I could change this community[DOUBLEPOST=1375465214][/DOUBLEPOST]Here are all the models for someone else to get a good look. Anyone have 3DS max?

Good luck at xentax. That place is as good as dead. Cant get any help from there.

 

Which is a real shame since they had a VERY knowledgeable community.

 

It is a shame. They never got around to dumping the 1.5 models and textures. Which would make this better than having use the bbsfm models. DDD hasn't been dumped :(

 

I've made a texture hack for KHII Sora. :p
I'd put up a download link, but I really don't know if that's legal. xD
I'll at least put up the textures for download later.
Credit goes to CrazyCatz for the tools I used to make this. :D

 

How the... what.. Man im bad at this texture thing, i don't know if you take requests but can you make a Roxas texture mod? pretty please with a X-Blade on top?

 

I'll see what I can do. xD Although Roxas would look really weird with Sora's short shorts. o_O

 

i know but hey it's something until models are cracked. And again thank you!
EDIT: also im pretty sure it isn't illegal to share the file you edited just for your information.
EDIT 2 : Can i ask a question? Does the texture change only effect game play? or other models of Sora too, as im sure you are aware there is more than 1 model used.

 

Well, I only edited the field model. So cutscenes will still have default sora. Also obviously the high poly scenes too. I'm also pretty sure Neverland won't work either, because of Sora's flying animations, but not certain.

Oh and of course releasing the textures isn't illegal, but the textures are stored inside xa_ex_0010.mlds THAT'S illegal to distribute I think. I said I'd put the textures up for download, but you'll have to inject them into the model yourself. ;)

 

Yep there is a bit legality regarding this stuff, but if you own all the games and "rip and store the models yourself" there is nothing illegal)

Regarding models: Maybe we should look into how the generations thing panned out and emulate from there. Surely models aren't that difficult as it seems on paper, but I could be wrong.

 

Thats fine and im pretty sure it should work in neverland since only the textures of the model have been edited, btw i may be nitpicking but it would be better if you used Roxas's final mix textures since they are of better quality, i understand if you have to use the low quality textures though and i need to say thanks again!

 

I'm using the FM textures of course, but the quality is lowered anyway, because KHI sora has pretty small textures... D;

EDIT: Roxas's hair is so tedious to change to Sora's because Sora has really ambiguous hair direction. xD It's pretty difficult to determine what's coming from where.

 

This is exactly why i couldn't do it myself XD to complicated to tell where the textures are on him.

 

Then I have a request.

I was working on giving Ansem his higher-res textures from Re:CoM. His field model is in KH2:FM's files; could you make the magic happen for Ansem, as well?

His model name is N_ZZ160_EV.mdlx.

 

Damn. xD You ruined my surprise. I was already planning on replacing all of the main characters textures with the newer ones! Certainly. I'll start with Ansem right after I finish Sorentas's request.

 

Sorry for spoiling, lol.

I would do it myself but I'm not exactly gifted when it comes to art on a computer. I think Xemnas' coat has some minor differences when compared to the newer models, but that's very minor stuff.

 

Mysterious figure and KHFM Xemnas seem to have the same model

 

Yup. YMX's coat has different details and the zipper-specific texture is a little darker; nothing amazingly different though.

 

I wish Virgin KLM was here. That person can shed some insight on some stuff
