I want to make a mod for cate thief in menu and multiplayer 

I managed to fix the hero thief in main menu, trying to get hero thief in multiplayer to work

Hi @Lilarcor, no i’m just aware of the pen dart in man of influence as well as the underground area under the villa.

 

i’m more active on discord as StenApp in Lithfaq than here.

The ps2 model has no separate eyebrows as standalone parts, maybe this causes problems

You didn't have this issue don't you ?

The arms or that she looked away? Had both.

i tried several animations and stick with the lean one.

it seems to be caused by the general_base.abc animations

You have to leave one animation in the model and name it inthero_thief, overwrite itin the rez go to chars, models.

import animations from any model or the proximate *base* abcs, delete the rest anims.

 

maybe the distortions are a „weight“ problem.

I‘m sad about your discoveries. Have you opened the model ( hero_thief) in Modeledit?

 Does it have the same issues in the viewer? Yes it has the same problems.

I see no way to fix this.

yes i did! https://fastupload.io/b30ea7e1f8756a50

here you have the thief_model with it's complete animations, use the ModelEdit of AVP2 tools to view them.

If you like to have another animation, find out which base file it carries, import the base file and delete all except for the one you want.

Safe the model as inthero_thief in the rez file (chars/models), replace the older.

Use Winrez to open rez files.

place the modernizer.rez in Nolf1/custom folder and load it with the nolf loader at start.

Modernizer.rez updated preview edition

I replaced normal Cate, casual and winter cate with hero thief model since i don‘t know when they appear.

Now that i have all animations for the thief model available i will pick a looping one.

I‘m working on the dart pen, safecracker ps2 and lockpick ps2 too. Maybe in the future. Thief hands will be part of this.

@Lilarcor managed to convert all animations of hero_thief model😎 thanks to this plugin

https://github.com/Five-Damned-Dollarz/io_scene_lithtech

now i can choose a looping animation for thief model in menu 😍

Thank you, nice working database !

Did you manage to put hero_thief model into the main menu ?

I did it, the result is so-so, StandHip animation has no loop, it’s choppy.

Nice find ! Any chance to add the Cate thief model from modernizer REZ file ? It might be possible to bring animation to it ?

MULTI HERO_THIEF_MULTI.ABC -> multiplayer model

Let‘s see if we can get the hero_thief model into the menu.

After my vacation i will have a look into it or you try to get to work on your own. With the modernizer mod you need to change the Layoutnew.txt file if i remember correctly.

@Eliteone can you check please why my attachments cause problems for others?

Folder compare pc to ps2 with pictures

Forgot to add pc models

 

You can change the model shown in menu in the file Attributes/LAYOUT.txt.

I can't download the archive files, it is recognized as a virus.

What? There is no executable and no dll file 😳

Your .html file doesn't display well when I open it and I can't download any of the file you posted in attachement in this forum.

I had to give up the folder with the icons you see now missing.

The other attachments cannot be downloaded, why? I can redownload them.

Don‘t know why.

Here is a PC to PS2 comparision and the diff of both versions, some textures are already upscaled (dtx ps2 to png with godot, png upscaled, converted to tga, import in DEdit)

https://fastupload.io/c1dd93f233904ed9

I'm not a modeler so i could need help with attachment where the Blender export as abc doesn't work because the mesh and the bones? are not coupled:

https://github.com/Five-Damned-Dollarz/io_scene_lithtech/issues/2

 

Nice, how did you get the textures on the model? 

it worked for me with modeledit.

Thanks for the references, i used all of them even fixed (had an error) the godot dat/ltb viewer/to lta converter)https://github.com/StenApp/godot-dat-reader

took me a while to get it working. Can view the PS2 DTX files and convert it to png.

The PS2 dtx files are BBP_32PDTX-LithTech2.0.bti had to fix dtx v2 https://github.com/AkvenJan/DTX-Meta-Transfer/tree/main/research to get it to read in 010 editor https://www.sweetscape.com/010editor/ see attached dtx files, renamed to org to keep them next to the converted dtx files.

dtxutil 7.0 doesn't know the BPP_32P so i get an empty csv after scanning.

Until now i see no chance of getting the PS2 Models fully working except for the meshes, because PS2 version uses different child models (base animations) that are not transferable.Animations Compare.html.zip

hero_thief_head.dtx.org hero_thief.dtx.org NOLF chars - nolfps2 chars.csv Model Folder Compare.html

If you open the lta model you see what i mean. Havent found a way to convert the ps2 dtx to png to pc dtx.
