Unreal 2 .gem format

The .gem format from Unreal 2. Does anyone know what can convert this? I have searched everywhere, and unfortunately Umodel doesn't convert it. Please help?
I've searched the forums here as well with no luck.

Unreal 2 has own animation system, it is not used unreal packages. You may open gem files with mesh editor supplied with UnrealEd for this game. If I remember correct, it's name is something like "Golem".

Unfortunately, the GolemEd program included with Unreal 2 doesn't let you export .gem meshes, only look at them. However, there is a script for Blender that can export the models (no animations), but I think it's an understatement when I say it's very hard to use (it involves hex editing). This probably won't help you, but here's a link to the script. http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=185072It's uploaded in 6th post, and there is information of which version of Python and Blender you'd need to use the script. |

Anyway, umodel will never support Unreal 2, because there is almost nothing from Unreal Engine in this game.

I wrote a .gem to ogre .mesh exporter/viewer some years ago, its in bad shape but if you know some c++ you should be able to make something of it. The animations are a bit bugged because each rotation was stored as 5 bytes, i still have no idea whats going on there but it somewhat works. Let me know if you want it and ill upload the source for you.

I'm not too good with c++, but it's a start.

Thanks!
Mostly to see how they're put together. I may even try to remake Unreal 2 on the Unreal 3 engine. Doubtful though. Mainly to see how they are put together.

There's an old article about Unreal 2 .gem format. No technical details though. http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=85666There was mentioned somewhere in forum topics that .gem format is reversed and fully documented, by the way I didn't find anything about that. And even more - Blender plugin links gives me "404 not found" error. |
