Update.
I've implemented StaticMesh support. This game is fully supported now.

Nice! Thanks a whole bunch Gildor!

EDIT: I'm really sorry to bring back this topic, but I just decided to try out the Viewer on the game (PC version naturally) but somehow I'm having a totally different error.

For some reason, certain texture maps and/or Materials are crashing the Viewer and I cannot open them. Here is what I did (hopefully, someone can help me).

-Copied the .TFC file (x4) and renamed each one (Texture_P0 -> _P3)
-Tried using -lzo switch (doesn't work)
-Tried using -nostat and -noanim switch (doesn't work)
-Using -notext switch (will work correctly and show mesh, but no textures)
-Force export (only Mesh's are exported and only 1 normal map, but it's corrupted)

Exporting, with only coalesced.tfc doesn't crash the viewer, however, the textures are all 64x and the log complains about Textures_##.tfc missing. At the same time, I cannot export with Textures_##.tfc because it crashes the Viewer for some reason. Here is the latest log I got when I tried exporting normally:

Code:

******** wp_SP_Railgun_SF.xxx:  Material3'elite_beam_ammo_master' ********

ERROR: assertion failed: Size == 0

appReadCompressedChunk <- FByteBulkData::SerializeChunk <- UTexture2D::LoadBulkTexture:File=Textures_P0.tfc <- UTexture2D::Decompress:Tex=elite_beam_ammo_d <- UTexture2D::Bind <- GL_NormalmapShader <- UUnrealMaterial::SetMaterial:elite_beam_ammo_master <- AppDrawFrame <- Display <- VisualizerLoop <- MainLoop <- Main

ERROR: assertion failed: H.Tag == PACKAGE_FILE_TAG

FCompressedChunkHeader<<:pos=10C60004 <- appReadCompressedChunk <- FByteBulkData::SerializeChunk <- UTexture2D::LoadBulkTexture:File=Textures_P0.tfc <- UTexture2D::Decompress:Tex=elite_beam_ammo_n <- ExportTga <- ExportObject:Texture2D'elite_beam_ammo_n' <- Main

The only thing I gathered is that the Materials are crashing the Viewer...because from certain packages, I'm able to View them both texture and mesh, but as soon as I press Up or Down, to go to the next 'asset', it crashes, usually when I'm on the material (I think).

Also (please note I'm ignorant on such stuff, so I could be wrong) but somehow, the latest Viewer (Feb-06) is about 50KB smaller then the older viewer (Feb-02)...is that correct?

Cheers, and ciao.

Ace, You are correct. I have also experienced the exact same thing.

If you will rename "readme.txe" to "textures_p1.tfc" it will also crash umodel Grin

To be serious - renaming of tfc files is not correct thing.

Ofcourse, that was my first thinking also, so I tried keeping the original .TFC as backup + .TFC 0,1,2,3. I tried different combination's of .TFC in different folders and even in all .TFC in same folder, but nothing works. All mesh work, but texture and/or material crash the Viewer.

I checked Viewer on other games (again, PC) such as Mirror's Edge, Turok, and Mass Effect 1 and 2, and they all work fine, so nothing is broken.

I was wondering, is there a way to disable Materials? Not the Textures, but the Materials themselves? As I said, for some strange reason, the packages only load 'correctly' and stop crashing when I use -notex.

I hope I'm not bothering you. I can very easily get the X360 version and get all the assets from that game if the PC version is too complicated and brings problems all the time, but I would like someone to confirm if X360 version is working with latest update.

OR, if somone could upload Feb-02 version of Viewer so I can get Textures, and use latest version to get Models...works either way for me, I just would like to make sure with other people here.

I think the previous one wasn't crashing with .TFC0-3 and only Static Mesh didn't work (-nostat), almost like Exsteel problem long time ago.

Again, it's not a big problem for you to waste time and fix, just wanted to make sure with other people.

Question: Will the Singularity.exe make a difference if it has been change? Like patched game, cause I downloaded latest Patch for game?

Static meshes has no effect on textures.

Found problem: DXT-5 Textures work OK with TFC## packages, but DTX-1 crash.

Example: Monster Normal Map - DXT-5, show up in Viewer correctly, go to WaterNoise Normap Map - DXT-1 crash.

Low-Resolution Textures works OK on both, but High Resolution, only DXT-5 work...

Texture compression method does not affects this. The problem is with incorrect data pointers. Texture has a pointer to hi-res data in the tfc file (file offset), but tfc file has data in the different positions. That's why umodel may crash.

Why do you want to get an old umodel? I have not changed texture support for Singularity, it should be the same in all versions.

zardalu was able to get it working with old version and export everything.

esr911 also said that he's getting the same problem now (on page 2-3 he didn't have the problem with old version).

What worked for me was extracting the textures from xbox360. The PC textures didn't extract at all when I renamed the tfc's it was needing.
