Are these graphite tools, and such in 3ds max?  Or do I need another program?

Yes they are in max its the 1st tab before the one u use to "resize" ur meshes with

[Adela]

also calpurnia  only shows up if you side with the templars

[Silvist]

@Adela - Yes, I ment you can extract from the original game files, and export it as a dds.  Maybe I misunderstood, my apologies.

 

I'm going to take a look at this tool you are referring to right now ;p

[Adela]

its in the geometry tab

[Silvist]

@Adela - Ah the "quadrify all".  I actually don't use the drop downs as much as I should.  I tend to use the tools to the right side or right click options.  There's alot of ways to do the same thing in 3ds max, sometimes its overwhelming lol.

some tools work better then others for example  qualify mesh  in the modify tab doesn't work as well as qualify all in the graphite modeling tools bar

 

qualify mesh only works well if you have flat  meshes and then use those with the cloth /garment modifier

Did I read someone is working on a gui? Maybe I should wait for that. The codes are confusing me.

[Silvist]

Yea, Warrantyvoider is working on a gui.  That's the DA tools.  He's integrating Eham's code so it can be used without commandline.  It'll be alot more efficient for extracting, due to the fact you can select single files.  Where as with Eham's I had to dump entire toc's, and in the end the entire game.  With WV tools you can just select a single texture, and in the future you'll be able to do that with meshes as well.  So ya, stay tuned it should be out eventually. 

 

Edit:

 

I take it back..Eham just added the mesh exporting rofl:

Oh ho..there's more in the tab than just meshes..ebx, dbx, chunks, and res..wow.

 

Its listed as "bundle explorer".

[MetalKitty10]

Ok, maybe I'll wait until Voider has a gui. I can open his DA_Tools, but can't get Eham's tools to open. I assume I'm missing something, a step or necessary program.

[Silvist]

@Metalmaster - You gotta run Eham's tool in commandline aka cmd.  You gotta open the directory with the tools in commandline.  In the files with his tools there's a text of instructions.  I just copied the code in his text and changed it to fit my directory layout.

 

The gui is out, if you are having trouble with Eham's tool, just use the DA Tools.  The trick is updating the tools, which I had to install svn tortoise for.  There's a walk through on the forums that WV did, but I forgot where it was ; ;

also just to add to this if you dont know how to open the cmnd hold shift and right click on the folder you have your DA tools in and then open in command also make sure the dll file is in that folder

 

 

edit nvm the gui is out should be less of a hassle now

[MetalKitty10]

Thanks Silvist.

 

Edit: And Adela.

[Shapeshifter777]

@Adela - well, i'd enjoy playing around with anything, but if I had to choose one thing it would be swapping my character's model.  Shapeshifting isn't in the game, but it's the closest I could get.

ah i see,  well for now  u just need to download the new da tools with a gui and do some swapping until voider or Ehm  come up with the exporter for in game assets

[Silvist]

@Adela - OH no wonder I haven't seen her.  I sided with the mages my first play through.  I'm siding with the templars on my current playthrough, but I've been to busy messing around with models lol.

[Silvist]

Oh yea, and if you guys didn't see...apparently we made the news.

“Want to change the pajamas you are forced to use in Skyhold? Give hair to Solas ? Make Leliana red-headed again? Here we discuss what we know so far. We even have a tool to view the game’s asset files (CAS) and the game save files (DAS), courtesy of Warranty Voider (ME3 modding tools) and Ehamloptiran (Skyrim modding tools), both who did many mods for games.”

Where did you guys post that at, cause it sounds like a perfect selling point rofl.

 

Also Adela they linked your renders of Solas with hair...hahaha!

 

Oh and Eham apparently is on a roll tonight..he now created an ebx to xml converter!  Though, I'm having some issues trying to view the xml..i figured an IDE would view it...

 

Edit:

 

Oh some reason it wasn't updating his exes..works fine now.  Now to find a way to convert xml to a format 3ds max can use...cause skeletons yes please...

 

Hmm, I wonder if tazpn's DAO Tools 1.3 would work..

[Adela]

lol yea i like how they didnt credit some ppl like me and  TKavatar 

also the person mention  nothing of you silvist considering you are making the armors

[Adela]

wait i thought he said he would convert stuff to FBX...?

[Chaeote]

Freaking awesome.

 

lol "Frostbite 3 engine is impossible to mod"... yeah right.

 

Great start, show em who's boss.

 

 

I'm not a modder myself, but a HUGE fan (guys like you seriously made me play Skyrim for 300+ hours).

 

If I could make a suggestion though, I will give ANYTHING you want for long hair on a Qunari female... even just shoulder length, or a ponytail

[Silvist]

@Chaeote - Yea, don't worry about that, I'm sure we'll eventually add hair into the game, its just a matter of time.  

 

@Adela - Yea, he still plans to.  I think he's still following his list from me3 in terms of order of doing things.  Let me find it.

 

 

 

The process of testing that I am planning is as follows:

- Injecting new texture data (Not modyfing itexture resource) [Complete]
- Injecting new texture data and itexture resource, ie. Change a texture from DXT1 to DXT5 (w/Alpha) [In Progress]
- Injecting new model data (Not changing mesh resource or counts, just positions of vertices)
- Injecting new model data and mesh resource (Completely replace a mesh with a new one)
- Injecting new skinned mesh as per above process
- Injecting new script
- Injecting new EBX data

 

He's done the first two on the list so far.  Him and WV have done about 6 revisions today with the tool so, lol keep your fingers crossed.

 

I was just trying to find a way to convert xml to something usable in 3ds max.  There is an import xml, but it didn't seem to work.  Reason is simple...skeletons...skeleton..yes skeletons please.

Oh let me post you some shots courtesy of SirMehr!  Though I bet you could do better ^^
