The project M hackers will warship you as a god XD
BTW
Maybe now you could look around through the brsar files that are .dat when you extract them and make a .dat to wav/mp3 converter

[DoctorFlux(Mariodk)]

i am sure Project: M will make Dr. Mario with a real model(not vertex) now

I don't think that's the same DAT format >_>

unless the format goes through a large heirarchy structure...

[DoctorFlux(Mariodk)]

i found a site with alot of Melee char. models From afew days since (and yes it is in .dae format for make anything easyer ) but the problem is now formated PC and not saved the site and can´t find it
i think there are ripped with 3d ripper DX

that sounds like the old-style Melee ripping... heh

for those who are interested in the tecnical info of the DAT format,
you can keep watch on this thread:

either Revel or I will be UD-ing that thread...
mainly me answering my own Q's XDD

Well of course it's a different kind of DAT file, cause it comes from a SOUND archive instead of a Model one :l

I just figured if you understood one .dat format it wouldn't be too long before you figured out the other one
Cause like, it's just sound bytes written in a weird way right? We just have to unscramble the data or something and reasimble it in wav format :l

I may as well decipher an MP3 file then

when deciphering data, the extension means nothing...

a DAT file could be an MDL0 in disguise
think about that :/

[Naruto200Man]

Um
true
but this is a DAT file coming from a SOUND archive, located where the SOUNDS and MUSIC are kept inside the games iso image. Unless it was something that showed up when a spasific sound was played, I doubt it would have an mdlo. :l

ecaxtly :/

so asking me to decipher that is kinda pointless...

[♤♡◇♧]

So if you get to the point of converting a Melee model to mdl0 format, would it also be possible to convert the animation data from Melee to chr0 format?

[DarkPikachu]

yep

melee's char animations are in Pl**Aj.dat

the contents are simply multiple DAT files stacked on top of each other

unless... >_>
doesn't CHR0 reference bones by their names??
because the DAT references by an index offset

and let's not forget...
melee's chars have no strings
the only strings there are is at the end of the file...
and those are for the base nodes...

PlyPichu5k_Share_joint

^that's the base node for Pichu's model

well, here's an issue I'm having :/

['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '36', '6', '', '', '14852', '', '', '', '', '', '']

it's seeming to only read the first facepoint value

I've almost got it fully working (for model progress (not materials or anything else))
it reads the verts and other vectors just fine
that's the only error I'm having so far...

it's a simple fix...
just need to seek to the current facepoint before reading it... XD

EDIT:
hmm... maybe this fix isn't quite as simple as I thought...
ok...
I'll have to redo every function and add a few vars, but it should work

[DarkPikachu]

I'll just leave this here

still not quite reading properly

EDIT:
sry for 0% explanation XD

that above would be Pichu's face data

the error exists because of a mis-read index >_>

to get the verts you need,
you have to search for them using the index from the faces...

vinput+(vert*vstride) would take you to the exact offset of the current vert

'vinput' is the data offset to the vert data
'vert' is the current vert index
'vstride' is the length of the vert data (for a single vert)

so yeh...
it's reading from over the end of the data stream... heh

[moleman915]

So how close would you say you are to being able to convert a stage from melee to brawl?
