I know this too, if you mean "-pkg" option. But I can't find combination model-animation. Can you provide one example where we can see non-zero number of animation in viewer and test?
Thanks.

P.S. umodelGUI don't want to open UPK for preview Hard to explore.
P.P.S Yes, I know that umodelGUI isn't your prog.

I think umodel can't load animation from DCUO, because ActorXImporter successfully import same animation to the same model.
P.S.

Hi Gildor.

First off thanks for creating this amazing tool   .

Second, I'm sorry to bother you about this, but the UPK files in DCUO no longer seem to work with UE Viewer. 

I discovered this after I re-downloaded the game last night after not having played for awhile (My previous copy was lost when my old HDD died.), and files that had worked just fine with earlier versions of both the game and UE Viewer were no longer able to be opened. 

I could find only two files out of the hundreds in the game that would still open; both of these are new models (in the Unreal/characters/NPC/Iconic/Heroes folder - there file names both start with a number somewhere around 209 to 213) that were just added as part of the games last maintenance update in preparation for an upcoming download contnet pack. 

The UE Viewer error logs only say that each file contains a 4 bit error at various memory addresses, when it tries to open them.

The game itself runs fine, so I'm thinking the developers made some small custom change in the file format recently.

If it's not to much trouble I was hopping you could take a quick look at this problem, as Id like to use some of the game models for reference in constructing some cosplay costumes I'm working on for an upcoming convention.

You can download the game for free @ www.dcuniverseonline.com

Thanks again in advance.

Hmm. Thanks I'll try that, though i've never needed to use a special switch before.

In the mean time I checked again and found quite a few files that would open, but if you try to navigate within them using the pg. up & pg. down keys to find the models ue viewer immediatly crashes.

To help you better diagnose the problem, here are the errors generated in the UE viewer log from the files I tried to open that didn't work:


******** CHARACTER\NPC\ICONIC\HERO\DCHRNPCICOHER213.UPK:  SkeletalMesh3'CHRNPCICOHER213_SKMESH' ********

It looks like they changed texture data format (I hope.not tfc system). All I can recommend you for now is to use -notex option.

[Gildor]

Sorry, I have no possibility to do anything right now

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.      

Only one problem, even though the re-capitalization does work for me, I'm only able to get the low-res textures that look like floating blobs of diffuse color sprayed on the models.  The hi-res textures that were available prior to the game updates still don't show don't show up.  Also, those few models that did display their textures correctly prior to the re-capitalization are also now low-res.  

So while seeming to be a step in the right direction, it still doesn't really make the models any more useful for my purposes.

If you have any other ideas on this I'd be interested to know.

Thanks again
