lololololololololol

I gotz me the PMD editor source, so I should be able to get the offsets for everything from that... Luckily C# can't be written in Japanese :srs:

GET HYPE!

I really wish I could help out, but my programming knowledge is limited, and I have not much experience with dealing with binary files either.

[Ultraxwing]

oooooh this sounds VERY promising.

maybe we could turn other models into DAE?

or is DAE the main focus?

oooh and melee models will flipping bad ace!

an official mewtwo model, actual pichu model, so many more =P

what if we converted the original N64 models to dae, then to .MDL0..

i would do it for "N64 Brawl."

either way, this looks very promising.

[BlackJax96]

Well my main focus right now is DAE to MDL0. But hopefully I'll be able to add support for more formats later.

I'm working on getting MDL0 to a perfect DAE right now...
currently there's no converter that can do that yet...

and it'll help me learn the unknown stuff to help me build an MDL0 from scratch

I still need help with DAT right now...

I am avenging you Pichu <_<
for you will be in brawl so I can main you once more >:3

I'm adding PMD as well

but my main focus is getting Melee and Brawl working

btw blend format is te best format to convert to.
it opens directly with blender and supports everything

Alright so someone give me a summery of whats going on here. From what i've gathered thru my reading so far, DAE is a sort of common graphics format. Tcll, BlackJax and probably others are working on getting a converter for ___ to DAE and DAE to ___.

Without going in depth on the details (yet), can someone give me an overview of the format and how it relates to the Melee .DAT format?

well, the dae format doesn't really relate the the dat format at all...
the conversion to it will allow you to import things such as bones...
although it's not the best of all formats,
it's still better than the lowly commonly used obj format...

but yea... blend is one of the best formats to convert to which is my next objective...
(since I'm not just converting to dae)

I'm making an interchange format converter basically...
like MDL0 to PMD :P

and there are 2 basic model options, but they prbly won't be used :/
OBJ and RAW

they only return a basic textured boneless model :|
^(why they are only set as export options)

[Sveet]

So this thread contains information on modeling and modeling formats?

How much information is known about the melee DAT format in regards to the modeling? I read on another site about some formats in the dat (40/C0 i think was one). How much of the DAT file relates to the graphics of the game (stage, characters, textures, ect) and how much relates to the physics (character stats, stage movement, ect)?

edit- how much is actually known about the DAT file at all? my primary goal right now is to extract all information from a DAT file.

[DarkPikachu]

@sveet:
this thread is the goldmine of all dat info:
and my past years of work.

http://emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=50312

it's dead now...

and the 40/C0 thing dealt with stages
the thread takes care of more of the modelling stuff...

I've got the modelling side...
stages are more of Milun's bag...

do you think I should bring him over here as well?? :/
too bad Revel8n had to die... T.T
he was a big help in everything

but yea...
I basically extended the work of Jahra!n's converter with the help of Revel

[SmashHackers]

My only question is: When this is done will models have working bones?
