Hello Gildor, umodel seems to have problem with retail version
******** MPCH_COGAnyaBackpackMP_SF ********

ERROR: Wrong tag in package: B800611A
FPackageFileSummary<<:Ver=0/0 <- UnPackage::UnPackage:MPCH_COGAnyaBackpackMP_SF.xxx, ver=99999/0, game=0 <- UnPackage::LoadPackage:MPCH_COGAnyaBackpackMP_SF <- Main

I have pm you the link for files if you are interested .

Some files are encrypted, some - not. Unencrypted files can be read by umodel without problems, encrypted will cause umodel to crash with "Wrong package tag" error. Try different way to extract packages from .iso image.

GOW3 should be supported now because of updated UDK support.
(but do not expect from umodel to open bad files)

Wow, I can't believe no one has commented yet, Thanks Gildor the gears of war modding scene owes you big time.

                           (http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8116/samd.gif)

umm how could u extract gow3 from the iso if nothing supports the new file type?

Does it really support the retail game wich released on the 20 of september?

Because when i export the .xxx files i still get:

*ERROR WRONG TAG IN PACKAGE:00000000
etc....

So whats up with that? its 120% legit copy of gears of war installed on xbox and moved files to windows system.

how the hell could u get that from the game install all i have are a bunch of data files please tell me how u did it?

First be careful because I got a virus/trojan not long after using the program and can't say if the program was the cause :-\ . Download god2iso and use it to convert the data files to iso.

i just did this and im extracting the iso so i will tell you guys if it worked but i installed it on a usb drive then extracted the data files to my computer and then used god2iso to convert to iso and then i could read it with wx360 and thats were im at now okay and now i get a huge problem all i get is this
Found 2514 game files (10 skipped) and thats all it says and i cant figure out why?

I can't be sure because I had a lot of  ??? ??? moments myself and tried a few way before it worked, but I think I cancelled the program after it had built a temp iso and used that (after changing file ex to .iso). The iso might open with 7zip but if not then try schtrom 360 xtract S360x.

thats not the problem i got all the files from the game extracted and now i get this error when i try to open or extract anything from them
Found 1855 game files (433 skipped) please help?????

In WinXp, after purchasing valid copy of GOW3 for x360:
1. Use GOD2ISO v1.04, "Fix "CreateIsoGood" broken header" selected.
2. Use WX360 1.6 to extract files from ISO.
Works fine.  ;D

thats what i did maybe ill just reextract it i mean yah i bought it and everything but ill just try it agian
wow it did the trick well thanks man but can i ask why the animations still the head thing has not been fixed ?

Nice job, though, is the static mesh, on some, still have a problem, like how the GOW2 did, like the boat?

What the problem? (sorry, I have no files so I cannot find it by myself)

how come the animation is still is still messed up as some just the head goes in the body and some its just really screwed up.

Something about the uv, you mention, the error was, that the mesh would be everywhere, ruin up. Like vertex would be scramble up.

What about screenshot of the problem?

so im guessing gildor that your not going to fix the animation at all.

I can easily fix animations in umodel's viewer. But it is not possible to fix them in context of psa file format - it is not suitable for such things.

All of my textures are non higher then 15 kb and some characters cant even be extracted HELP!!

(http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z416/theoverrattedone/HELP.png)

Almost all of the characters work for me, execpt the DLC characters. And I only have the proper textures of summer marcus fenix

Look at the log! There is a message "CharTextures.tfc is missing". That's your problem.

But does it mean that I need a different version of the full game or something? Or do I need to look in a different file

Umodel should see complete game distribution (Cooked* directory). Situation on screenshot looks like you were copied a few files into the separate directory and started umodel there (it's pity that this method is propagated by most third-party tutorials made by people who don't know how to use umodel).

Here's the error, my bad, almost forgot about it

(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4736/unledyra.jpg)

There was similar problem with SkeletalMesh, I've fixed it some time ago.
I've found the same problem yesterday by myself in recent UDK packages. Hope I could fix that in next weekend.

This mesh has 22k triangles, this is 66k indices (more than 64k). I've added support for large triangle counts. Please try the new umodel version.

The picture i sent, was the current update, the Sep 25th umodel.

???
Did you tried updated umodel version or not?

Ah yes, just tried the oct21 one, and it works great. Thanks once again.

So far, none of them show the mesh error.

Good :)

Thanks Gildor!

Gears3 animations are correctly displayed and exported now.
More details here: http://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php/topic,5.msg8731.html#msg8731

Thank you so much!!!  :D

Finally we can export more than one UV channel for StaticMeshes... :) ... THANK YOU SO MUCH GILDOR !!! :)...

btw. What about SkeletalMeshes ? Does it support multiple UV sets as well ?

You are welcome :)
currently I'm performing SkeletalMesh refactoring.

Sounds good ! :)
That is going to save me a lot of time, since all Gears of war 3 StaticMeshes have 2 UV sets.
Previously I had to spend hours in 3dsMax to create 2nd UV channel just to make a nice looking shadows in UnrealEditor.... BUT NOT ANYMORE !!! hehehe....

Does 2nd UV channels export works fine? I did not tested it a lot.

Two uv channels work fine, and as for Ctrl x  WOW! You Sir are a genius.

.ASE export works very good in Gears 3, not sure about other games.

Anyone know why umodel doesnt show textures on staticmeshes in gears3.. Works just fine in gears2. ???

(http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2612/clipboard02gr.jpg)

I suppose you are speaking about pskx to .ase batch converter?
In the case shown on the screenshot, material is mapped, otherwise you'll see the 4-color default texture instead of the black one. The problem is that umodel was not able to detect correct diffuse/normal/specular etc maps for this material, and material representation is absolutely incorrect.

Yes!

It is a shame that displaying textures on StaticMeshes doesnt work... Now I have to browse trough a bunch of textures to find the right one...  ???

1. Find the corresponding material (you can check the material name with pressing <M> key in the mesh viewer)
2. Open this material in umodel's viewer
3. Press <M> key, it should display the list of used textures - probably this will help you

Your tools are amazing Gildor!!! Excellent job!!! Thankyou :)

I'm trying to export character models from Raams Shadow dlc I managed to export Valera and Minh, but I can't export Tai and Barrick I get error in error log:

******** MPCH_COGBarrickDLCMP_SF.upk ********

ERROR: assertion failed: H.Tag == PACKAGE_FILE_TAG

Valera:

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

UE3 has much more complicated data structures for DLCs, probably that's a reason of error.

How did you get the materials so perfect in 3ds?

I set the materials up in 3ds max using a dx shader which I got from here: http://www.bencloward.com/shaders_NormalMapSpecular3lights.shtml (http://www.bencloward.com/shaders_NormalMapSpecular3lights.shtml)

Does anyone know where I can find a proper Clayton Carmine model? The only one I can find amongst the files looks like this:

(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8760/cogclaytoncarmine.jpg)

When he should look like this with the decals on his chest armor and tattoos:

(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/30738/1877821-clay_carmine_profile.jpg)

^ the above is a proper model I have the same one, but the emissive texture is messed up or maybe just mapped incorrectly, as for tatoos that is a separate texture, look for T_COG_ClaytonCarmine_Details_D

(http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/7007/55523859.jpg)

(http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6756/59489168.jpg)

And how to. (The texture for the mask is 128px, could be smaller)
(http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/1824/88612710.jpg)

I think Carmine uses a second uv set for the tats and stuff.

yeah, maybe but then that still doesn't fix the way the emissives are mapped

There is nothing wrong with the emissive maps, they don't work 'as is' in umodels viewer because umodel can't support all unreal material tricks. If you press m when viewing the Marcus_summer model in umodel text pops up that gives you a basic starting point to rebuild the materials in ut3/udk.
edit; Here you go  http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CroppedEmissiveAssistant.html (http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CroppedEmissiveAssistant.html)

nice, thanks Dreadfred, will have to give this a go  8)

I have been noodling about with the gears editor and think I know how its done the Epic way, no texture mask and a material instance copy to swap out emissive maps and change the color/tint.

Edit: http://www.mediafire.com/?b8fr2ffy29ycdvx (http://www.mediafire.com/?b8fr2ffy29ycdvx) (UDK/Gears) Plug the material in to a material instance constant.

thank you!!!  but how did you get to the clamp???  i am getting this error http://www.flickr.com/photos/36116173@N07/6688695401/in/photostream

Cool, glad there's a way to do emissives correctly!

And yeah, does anyone know how to put the tatoo texture on clay correctly lol.  Epic did the same thing with lambent berserker too.

cr4zyw3ld3r, Double click the emissive texture in the content browser (not material editor) to bring up its properties to change Wrap to clamp.
 
JUGGERNUT, I'm sure Epic used a second uv channel, the uv layout for the Armour and tatoo textures would need a different Uv layout from Carmines mirrored uv's.

thank you again, but can you also link and or provide a small tut for that second uv map  ::)

Hey guys. Anybody knows where Marcus Summer and Lancer Rifle are located?

Did some one have XBOX image that can be extracted without a problems???

I just found out that you can extract skeletal mesh with the -pskx switch, when did that happen ???. Thanks Gildor.

I do not understand your question.

Long ago, Start reading the read me.txt instead next time.

It wasn't a question, I just wanted to thank you.
I thought that pskx was only for staticmesh. I didn't realise that skeletalmesh could be exported as pskx with the -pskx switch. I think I will check the read me txt next time :-[

:)

Not sure which editor you are using but Carmines material can't be done in the gears editor, you need two uvsets and the gears editor only imports one uvset per skeletalmesh psk/dae :(.  UDK supports fbx so maybe plug a texture coordinate in to carmines detail texture (change the coordinates to 1 to use the 2nd uvchannel) and lerp it with carmines diffuse texture?

If I correct, multiple UV sets for SkeletalMesh were appeared in UE3 in 2010.

yeah there is definitely no second UV possibility in GEars Editor, that is the one I was referring to, will give the above a try

Dreadfred,

Thanks for posting the great screen shots.

When I exported the GOW3 files using umodel, and looked at the Sam Byrne model, I noticed a couple of things and I was wondering if you did too.

The model is exported as a pskx file, presumably because of multiple UVs.  Did you find that as well?  The Anya Summer model is also pskx, while other models are psk.

I imported Sam into 3ds Max 2011, using Gildor's importer, and it mentioned that it couldn't find the eye material (found all the others), although there is an eye in the diffuse texture.  As a result, the model that I exported as fbx and imported into UDK has no eye material.  Was that the case for you too?

I found an eye texture in another folder and created my own material, but I find that the iris looks too big.  How did you do it?

-D

does anyone know how to or where I can go to ask to etract dlc content from xbox 360 Gears of War 3, I had my hard drive hooked up to my pc via sata and I used xploerer 360 but I could not see anything etractable by umodel  ???    if anyone could point me in the right direction please?!

Hi, I'm new to the this site. I'm trying to extract the models from the game myself, and I do own the game. I was wondering if someone can explain, in some detail, or point me to a site on how to get the game files off my Xbox and on to my pc. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

For those still having issues with emissive textures in UDK, the following images may help. They are based on Dreadfred's work but don't use a mask. As Dreadfred has already pointed out, the crop scale and crop offset can be obtained using the uModel viewer.  There is a wealth of information that Gildor provides via the viewer.

Guys I have a question about images/content.

Is it possible to inject images back into a file once it has been extracted? (Gears 3 on unsigned console)

No. Especially for XBox360.

WOW alright. I am trying to figure out how to get sound clips from my retail xbox360 Gears '3 Disc and now I've seen these animations exist -cool.

But getting back to the audio I see this is an old thread and would like to ask "What is the current easiest to use Prog to obtain an ISO of my disc" Still the same as those above? I ask because the talk of 'headers' etc I know nothing about and it sounds a little complicated and I'd prefer to put my time into something that won't take up a lot of it trying to figure things like that out.

Hello Redshirt, Gildor said on another thread you need the game as an ISO - not really as an installation as it says in the How To guide. There are things mentioned in this thread that I don't fully understand and am wary of DL some infected prog by mistake that give an idea of what you need program wise. Did you find any Noob guides? I found some videos on this site but they were really for people who were advanced users or had a basic understanding of things.

Meanwhile it would be good, seeing so many people trying to get the same outcome, that those who have extracted animations, sounds etc could UL them so others can have them without trying to find out what UV, effuse and other things are. Grovel grovel pleeease. Sam is my favourite but I'd like some other game sounds. I found more dialogue from here recently if I torque bow her  :)

Hello, this is how I do it.
1= Install game to your xbox's harddrive
2= move or copy game to a usb from xbox harddrive
3= use USBXTAFGUI_v44 to extact the game data files from usb to your pc
4= convert the data files to an Iso using God2Iso
5= Extract the game .xxx files from Iso using exiso (drag and drop the iso onto exiso)
6= Use gildors awsome viewer to view/extract animations, models and textures
or if you own the game, pirate the ISO and do number 5 ;D

Thank you DreadFred for your advice  :)

A little confused how I pirate a game I already bought ?  ??? (I know zero about this stuff).

But while I have your ears (and what lies between them :) )

the files you describe as .xxx are they actually titled .xxx or are the x's wildcards or something? Its primarily the audio I want to get at. May go for the more complicated stuff depending on how that goes.

Cheers.

(Oh I just got the season pass too and now have more characters available too)

Apparently, unreleased PS3 build of Gears 3 works fine with the latest umodel without specific override settings, but you need to set package compression to zlib manually and choose PS3 in platform settings.
