Tekken 7

Possibly skeleton has some scale on it. UModel currently doesn't support UE4 mesh scaling.

I see. Thanks for the answer

I didn't know that Noesis supports Unreal.

Answering by myself. I've downloaded Noesis, checked it, and it really has UE4 support as Python plugin. The code is heavily based on UModel's source - just translated C++ to Python, with taking into account Noesis API difference. So, unfortunately this is not a separate research. And it's shame there's no any reference to UModel, that its source was used as reference (it just says "this is early work, and for better results use umodel").

Hi Gildor, Chris linked me to this thread, and this post made me sad. This is not an accurate assessment of the Noesis script, so I've updated the script notes accordingly from

Code:

#this is a super-half-assed UE4 importer implementation, with explicit serialization for better tracking. it's here to provide a base to dig further into
#customized-engine UE4 content, but it will not be maintained and will certainly break frequently with new UE4 releases. if you want UE3 compatibility or
#something more complete and actively maintained, use gildor's umodel.

#said version hacks are probably at varying levels of parity with umodel. plenty of changes have been made to umodel versioning logic since then as well,

#for his versioning logic, although his serialization generally looks 1:1 with stock UE4 code and uses identical object names, so we shouldn't pretend any
#of this required any reverse engineering or "research"!

UE4 support is really only there for one game coming down the pipe in particular, but I've updated it to work for various games of note as they've crossed my radar. Noesis also does not have the problem with whatever is going on with the skeleton-mesh mismatch in these screenshots, so there's that. You don't have to credit me for the tiny Tekken 7 bits you probably lifted from the script, as I don't actually care.

Hi Rich, nice to meet you

UE4 support is really only there for one game coming down the pipe in particular, but I've updated it to work for various games of note as they've crossed my radar. Noesis also does not have the problem with whatever is going on with the skeleton-mesh mismatch in these screenshots, so there's that.

Thank you for the update Actually I didn't use any bit of your code. I just used the information that Tekken 7 support is possible, and someone on this forum told me that "encrypted" flag should be ignored for this game (this is very unusual situation!). Everything else was very straightforward. I can say that you may simply adopt your code to work with Friday 13th - it uses absolutely the same code for SkeletalMesh. StaticMesh serialization is different with just 1 field serialization.

I didn't care about your use of parts of my code. And yes - I know that you used just serialization parts (it is impossible to reuse anything else!), especially for static meshes - original UE4 code don't have any versioning in code, it just drops support for loading meshes made with older engine version. I've added versioning there, and you just repeated it. It is very easy to notice.

I hope you didn't mind, my previous post and this post aren't angry (at least I hope so)

I was a little but upset And very tired (from my work). No "passive aggression". And please note that English is not my primary language, so sometimes I just can't express in English what I'd like to say in Russian.

Ok, friends

I'm just happy it works (see meshes) but I can't find animations either

As far as I understand, Noesis requires some special command line option to open Tekken 7. Check readme.
