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

i meant when i try to export it with noesis it just says model cannot be previewed, unless im doing something wrong

 

You should be able to export

 

doesn't really matter anyway, don't even have 3DS MAX

 

:D Oh you. I was gonna try the 30 day trial to test out something

 

i assume you going to try and replace/rig a model

 

I really don't mean to burst your bubble, but rigging a model to a KH1 model's bones won't get you anywhere unless someone writes a script to convert .fbx to .mdls, and even then that might not be enough because, like I said in the other thread, kingdom hearts .mdls files aren't just model/bone data. They also contain character voice files, as well as HUD pictures, ect.

 

Yeah I know but as a proof of concept I guess

Doesn't hurt to test

 

I agree with that. There are several guides published on Xentax that I've begun reading through. I'm starting with the 'Definative Guide to Exploring File Formats.' They also have guides for reverse engineering model formats.

 

3DS Max is made by Autodesk, right? They have a program that lets college students get full versions of most of their software on a student license. If you're in college and still interested in using 3DS Max for this, check it out.

 

I would if it wasn't so aggravating to install on my laptop.

 

I thought I should post this here as well as in my thread. After all it is vaguely related to 1.5 porting. :D

I took the liberty of replacing Sora's textures with the ones from his 'secret' BBS model.

Download will be up in my thread later. ;)



Edit: I didn't realize how much quality you lose from making a GIF. o_O It looks much better than this.

 

Pretty good, this might be the stop gap if we can't do models. Hope you do the cutscene one too

 

Certainly will be. I'll be doing Riku, and Kairi as well. :D

 

I think Donald and Goofy are also doable too. Mickey if you want him to wear his "real" KH1 clothing for canon reasons.

I course wouldn't mind if you replace the KH door with the BBSFM one

 

Donald and Goofy don't have their KH outfits in BBS, I'll check if their textures are much higher quality in KH2 though. As for Mickey, he might look a bit awkward wearing a 'fake' shirt. I could see what it looks like though if you'd like. Also the door, I wouldn't know how to replace textures that aren't from *.mdls, or *.wpn files. :/ Sorry.

 

You should be able to. With Noesis you can extract the texture from the pmo file so that it's just a regular tga/png/whatever and try to match it up...

 

Yeah, that's what I did to get Sora's textures. I think you misunderstood, he asked if I was going to replace the textures for the KH door at the end of the game with the textures from BBS. I wouldn't know how to repack textures that aren't in the .mdls or .wpn models.

 

Why do I have a feeling that in 1.5 they just replaced the DDD textures over the original models?

 

Between that and faking "HD" screenshots, it wouldn't surprise me.

 

Then that's what we'll do. Forget the model replacement and just focus on texture replacement.

It's easier too :D. If we can get the textures from BBSFM and KH2(RE:COM is impossible :() then we're golden. Focus can then shift on getting music to play or triangle commands lol

Although HD FMVs with the menu trailer and opening/ending FMVs are better. Maybe fix that HUD too[DOUBLEPOST=1375928612][/DOUBLEPOST]I am going to do what I can to give you all the textures I can get from BBSFM, Disgustor.

Interesting thing to note is that there is a fish faced model Riku and a cinematic Riku. Keep that in mind when you're doing textures.

EDIT: Sora and Kairi have one too. I guess you already know about this
