New game that I didn't find in the list. I have downloaded the demo from internet witch is now a fileplanet exclusive. I get some error:


http://www.filefront.com/15373767/wp_machine_gun_alt_SF.rar

Machine gun model and the main exe file, 18mb zipped

SketelalMesh, StaticMesh and Texture2D are not supported. But interesting: animations are loaded without errors :)
Now, bad news: I cannot analyze game executable - it is encrypted with securom.

I have the game, but can´t extract with Mulleter.

ok, so I need to find decryption then. let me check it

This is a tool i found. It did something to the exe but it is the same size. Maybe want to try:

I haven't looked if the file is ok but seemed to work

This tool has changed executable, but I can't say it becomes better :(

ok, read som tutorials on securom but do not have the skills to take it away :) but maybe someone else have the knowledge

Aw i was hoping this game wasn't secured ;-;

did someone need an unsecured exe?

This executable is good, thank you.
Can you make a report with pkgtool.zip
(I've noticed that game packages has a different versions, so I need a better detection of game by package version)

I ran the tool using the full retail windows version in the "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\DARK VOID\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC\characters\humans" directory:
here are the results:

and here is the result from the "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\DARK VOID\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC\characters\watchers" directory:

When I try to run pkgtool on a .umap file I get no data.  Here are the results from "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\DARK VOID\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC\Maps\Episode1\e1m0openingcinematic"

I also ran it for the demo at "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\Dark Void Demo\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC\characters\humans"
and got this:

Found 2 game files (0 skipped)

You should run utility on "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\DARK VOID\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC" - it will scan all subdirectories recursively.

wp_machine_gun_alt_SF.upk from the 1st post has version 576/61, but all files you have tested - 576/66 !

Ah I see, ok here are the results from "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\DARK VOID\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC":

I just purchased the Retail PC version of the game from Futureshop in Canada.

I also have the demo version installed, so I ran the utility there as well:
(from "C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\Dark Void Demo\nativePC\SkyGame\CookedPC")

Found 38 game files (42 skipped)

hmm strange.  I just ran pkgtool on "wp_machine_gun_alt_SF.upk" that I downloaded from pixellegolas from the first post, and I got the same version as the ones I tested:

Found 1 game files (1 skipped)
Version summary:
Ver        LicVer     Count
576 (240)   61 ( 3D)  1

Everything seems to be version 576/61, or am I missing something?

My mistake.
I have 2 files: one has version 576/61, another 576/66. It looks like all demo files has first version, but all retail files - second.

well focus on the retail if you decide to do anything, demo is quite limited so to say :)

These games are differs with file versions only.
Both are supported now.
I'll try to support their StaticMesh then release umodel.

you spit out new version of umodel more than sony ericsson spits out phones :) great work :)

Nice job Gildor  :P

Thanks again Chrrox

I have uploaded umodel with Dark Void support.

StaticMesh objects are not supported. This game has unique support for StaticMesh streaming. Like textures, these objects are stored in tfc file (I think).
It is possible to support this technique, but it is much more complex than other things, so I decided to not dig deeper into its format.

I seem to be getting errors with most of the the .umap files for this game. I believe the enemy skeletal meshes and animations are stored in these files.... as there are no other files for them to be in.

Here is one of the umap file with the notify log from umodel: http://www.sendspace.com/file/gbw9mi

I've been using -export flag to dump the entire contents of the package. Perhaps that's why I've been having problems? The common error message is:

You should post full error message (with text like OneText <- TwoText <- ThreeText etc).

Umodel is crashed on Dark Void static mesh.

Would it be possible to add StaticMesh support at some point? Seems a number of notable story objects (The Ark, for example) are statics, and can’t be extracted at the moment. I don’t think I’ve got the technical know-how to figure it out myself, but I’d be willing to offer any assistance I can give.

E: If I do need to do it myself, a pointer or two on which parts of the UModel source to look into/edit would be nice.
