Gears of War 3 texture/skeletal mesh issue

« on: December 24, 2011, 07:05 »

dear umodel users
I am using the batch extract files(http://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php?topic=184.0) to extract info from the dumped iso files of Gow 3, but I have some issues, first off the textures I have extracted with the weapon models and characters seem to be force extracted even though Textures.tfc/ CharTextures.tfc files are present, I have all of the disc file dumped in that directory so I am baffled by what the issue is Huh?

. Also the skeletal meshes seem to be mirrored when imported into the UDK or into UT3 editor, meaning the camera has a left handed view of the model and looks at the model from the front as opposed to from the back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Undecided

The thread "How to Extract using uModel like a Pro" is placed in "Obsolete" board and kept for historical reasons only. You should use this batch:

will give this batch file a try, hopefully it will help resolve my issues Tongue

tried it out, but I am still getting force exported textures

"Forced export" is not an error and not an "issue". This is an Unreal engine 3 feature name.

Code:

Forced export: Texture2D'COG_RetroLancer.COG_RetroLancerII_N'

This message tells that this package (usually it is a map package) has embedded low-res (64x64) texture and umodel will look up for higher-resolution version in another file (usually .tfc)

sorry to be bothersome like this, but the textures I get from the viewer show up as 1024*1024 while the ones I get frome the extraction process are 512*512 using either command line or your batch file, is it maybe possible to split the textures from the .mat files in max using actorx importer?

Sometimes ActorX ask us for textures with unexisted names. But with these names we have .mat files where textures was described in "Diffuse" field.

sorry about the bump I managed to figure things out using this thread: http://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php/topic,751.0.html
it also looks like my texture issues have been due to the fact that I have been extracting cooked packages Sad

seems like I need to add the -uncook line to the batch file, sigh* should have read the faq more carefully
