Help me out with Marvel Heroes
« on: August 25, 2013, 13:18 »
Help me out with tfc files in Marvel Heroes.
All upk package it possesses textures porém muito pequenas 32 x 32.
I've been observing CookedPC and saw a file name chartextures.tfc, I was worried, I started those searching and found this solution but did not understand how to proceed:

Quote
NEEDED TOOLS:

Gildor's umodel (this guy is a true champand all praise should go to him I just followed what he wrote one should do to extract tfc)

INTRO

TFC files contain raw data for texture files in compressed form (lzo). In hex editor you can see that each file starts with a 4 place hex code c1-83-2a-9e.

EXTRACTING

There is no way to extract textures and other stuff directly from tfc so you must use upk files pointing to texture (give it necessary metadata).

1. download umodel and put all tfc from your cook files folder into umodel folder
2. look for ufc file which seems to be linked to the texture u need and copy it to the same folder (browse by size and name to make it easy) i.e. i looked for backflags so soldier_malekevlar_sf.upk was a pretty obvious choice
3. run command prompt, navigate to your folder then run command "umodel -export -lzo NAME.upk" in my case it was soldier_malekevlar_sf.upk
4. voila! browse trough extracted textures inside texture2d folder in newly created NAME folder

Happy hunting!

Also there should be a way to insert it back into tfc file but I haven't figured it out yet.

I really need of textures.
Thanks to all who help me!

this tool prints out a list of offsets where you find chunkheaders of textures, from there on you can extract the chunks to textures, see this

these offsets are usually linked in the game files (upk I guess?!) and points to the header of a compressed chunk. if you use the info from my link before, you will see you always find the signature where the offsets are. and thats all my tools does, searching for these signatures instead of running through all packets. now if you look up one of these offsets you have 4 ints (the header) with the signature and blocksize, uncompressed and compressed size. with these you can calculate how many blocks follow. now after the header comes the blocklist, each entry is 2 ints long and times the blockcount. it tells you the uncompressed and the compressed size of the block. after the blocktable you read in each block into a compressed size array and decompress it in a decompressed sized array. these uncompressed blocks you then simply chain and you have your texture as dds, tga, or whatever fileformat, just rename it. as stated in the link, there are only 3 possible compression algorithm so you just have to trial and error through the correct one.

This will not help people to extract anything from TFC file - it contains pixel data only with no DDS headers.

PS: but yeah, reading the infos from the packages is the "official" way

Ok, so far understood.
Use tool to extract the weight of compressed textures Ok?
2 int, headers, scientific calculation, I have no information on this subject.
It is as possible a batch.bat to do all this, it would be very good!
Forgive me because I am new at this.
