Brawlbox Resources & History

What's preventing the release? *Is curious*

I'm trying to get rebuilt models to work in game. This means the model was already MDL0 and has had its structure rebuilt. The structure includes the header, node tree, definitions, textures, relocation offsets, and string table. The problem is that the rebuilt MDL0s open up in Brawlbox fine, but they don't work in game...

I need to make it clear that while "importing models" into Brawlbox is done and rebuilding models is nearly done, "importing models" to the game is not. Rebuilding the model only rebuilds the MDL0 structure, not the groups inside.

This is because writing the objects and shaders is not complete. Shaders are complex as hell to read and write and I haven't started writing facepoints to the object yet, I'm still working on setting the flags to guide the Wii to read them. Writing the other groups from scratch is done (except for a few small things in the materials).

Right now, I'm just moving the raw hex data for the groups (excluding bones) over to the rebuilt MDL0 for already existing MDL0s. I can't do that with new MDL0s, I have to write each group from scratch.

So while we'll be able to edit the bone tree and stuff, we still can't import new models.

If you got that where I think you got it, you wouldn't happen to have a DOA4/DOAUltimate ISO on you would you :srs:

I do now DOAX1 girls

Hm, ok. I think i understand. Is that anything like the issue with brawlbox modset v0.64 (before yours), and TOS2 MDL0's? They appear fine in that brawlbox, but in v0.63d the bone structure is all messed up, and in game they dont work unless they are actually fixed completely. Seems about the same, right?

It reminds me alot of when MDLO. importing just started...
as there were many problems like this as well like that the models were viewable in brawlbox fine but they did not work in brawl.

Hey BJ Check It

Pros/Cons 4 sdk

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

OpenNI Pros/Cons

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

all r true (From what Ive seen at least)

but judging from the main similarities/diffs and many smileys i think that if you are going for a mor user friendly interface the sdk is the way to go but if you r going 4 a more efficient mocap ie Rotations And Translations  OpenNI is the way to go just keep in mind there r quirks to both i say let the peeps decide

just 2 clarify for those who think the OpenNI is harder to install etc. etc. on http://www.brekel.com/ there is an auto installer so you just DL that dbl click the executable and it automatically installs the correct drivers (hence "auto installer") it is very easy to use 2 then u plug ur kinect in2 the adapter it comes with when bought individually (no XBOX) and plug the adapter in2 the computer

just a 4warning as far as i know if u use a usb hub it will greatly lower your usb bandwidth so it is not recommended to do so with either SDK

OpenNI

pro:
also calculates rotations for the joints

I didn't know that :srs: I guess I'll put up a poll... I can't decide which to use now DX

[DarkPikachu]

SDK since ONI is a pain to install
(like python add-ons)

and because it's from MS >_<
(their direct coding)

Yeah I don't really like OpenNI... it's not very user friendly and hard to get working DX
But the problem is that it calculates rotations, and it works for XP and Vista...
Decisions decisions :srs:

i just modified my post w/ an explanation on how easy to install OpenNI is

would it be possible to make one version for each driver type ie OpenNI AND Microsoft

[xxmasal22xx]

This is for animationg with motion tracking and kinect right?

If so, OpenNI. Definatley. Without rotations our animations wouldnt be what they are supposed to be.

Yeah, but that's just more coding. :/ The less coding I have to do, the better (and the sooner it's finished).

indubitably finally someone who agrees!

alright just do what u gotta do no rush

I've made up my mind. Looking at rotation calculating functions, writing my own rotation function would be a freaking nightmare. I'm going to use OpenNI.
