Title: Bioshock Remastered support
Post by: theoneman on September 16, 2016, 11:09
I looked at the files, it looks like they updated the engine a bit but other than that, it doesn't look like they used the Bioshock Infinite engine.

Will Umodel support B1 remastered/B2 remastered?

Downloading Bioshock 2 Remastered from Steam now. It seems the game uses the same engine as before, most likely with modifications.
Regarding the game support - yes, it will be supported, however no idea when. I'm too busy now, and support for old Bioshock engine is very complicated compared to UE3 games.

Hi guys. A little progress with Bioshock Collection (remastered games). UModel can read textures and static meshes from both games.

Cool. So does that mean it can read them but can't actually do anything with them yet? Because I'm still getting nothing but errors.

Which errors?

Mostly WARNING: IntProperty "BlahBlahBlah" not found type stuff, which I suspect isn't important. It finally gets to this:

Code:
******** Loading object Texture'4-Recreation.MistingMachine_Control_Emissive' ********
*** ERROR: Unknown Havok class: AnimationPackageRoot
USkeletalMesh::PostLoadBioshockMesh <- PostLoad:Agg_Toasty_Mesh <- UObject::EndLoad <- Main:umodel_version=550

And then it just quits to the prompt, so I'm guessing that's where the real problems happen. This happens for both -meshes and -export modes.

It crashes with skeletal mesh (check the red message above - only statics and textures are supported!) You should disable skeletal mesh loading.

I think it should work. Did you try it?

Yes, I managed to unpack all .u files :) Now I have a question, has anyone worked on language files with DLC? I can not find all classes. I found everything from the ShockGame file that has the same name as the unpacked file from .lbf. But the rest of the files from .lbf do not have their answer in the .u files

Is there any chance Skeletal Mesh can be supported for this game? Things are updated and there's a few new unique models too. I really want to get a few specific things from this one.

Bioshock is very complex thing to reverse, mostly because it uses Havok as part of SkeletalMesh. Sorry, I'm not going to support "Remastered" versions of the game, especially because geometry is the same there - just slightly updated lighting and shaders.
