The VG Resource

Gerudo Fortress, Zora's Fountain, and Desert Colossus have been submitted!

Made a list for the map files for Twilight Princess, except for the Field area, which I (or someone else) can sort through. There's quite a bit there, and some I tested with bmdview2 have butchered textures. I'll continue ripping what I can.

Dungeons take soo much longer to rip than other maps. So many rooms that have to be individually ripped. Anyways, spent quite a bit of my day converting the Lakebed Temple dungeon and submitted it. Hope it's all correct, for my first upload.

Glad to see this thread is still active, I've ripped the majority of Majora's Mask locations from the 3DS version, i'm just trying to figure out where the icon templates are so I can submit em?
(unfortunately the tool below doesn't export the bones from the models, so some maps with bones have things out of place, such as the Inside area of the Moon )

This was extremely helpful, thank you xdaniel.

Wow, I'm glad to see this gaining a decent amount of support! Now one thing I would like to do is rip Wind Waker stage models eventually as well since, if I'm remembering properly, they are formatted the same as the Twilight Princess'. Skyward Sword would be nice as well but I don't know how that's organized.

Anyway, @TwiliChaos and @Guy, thanks for the help!

Clean up for Majora's Mask Link was a chore, I've got 80% of all locations ripped and ready for cleanup, decided to work on characters at the moment, as I'm bothered by the lack thereof.

So far i've submitted for Majora's Mask:

Only big problem so far is the lack of other textures when exporting, no blinking textures, no talking textures, etc.

A side note is some models also use vertex colors to color some textures. such as the Gorman brothers' clothes, which shows as plain white in their texture.

Any chance we can finally get the bosses and mini-bosses? I've bee trying to get Gomess and his scythe for ages.

I've been trying to work on making a small game in Unity, so I haven't been trying to export models or anything, like I should and want to. It's a game I'm doing for personal practicr, but it's mainly using ripped locations from TP, so it's probably in my best interest to get to that. I'll see what I can get ripped in the next few days.

After locations, I'll see if I can move onto NPCs and bosses. I think I tried ripping Stallord at some point, but don't remember if it was a success or failure. Either way, I'll get to it in the future.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, but I don't know what's up with water in TP. All the water textures are pretty much grayscale. I don't know how to make it look more like water.

The same goes for the building runes in the Twilight Realm outside area. It's red in the exporter, but white when exported. Something to do with GLSL shading, which I know nothing about.

Like the guy on the 1st page mentioned, the uv's are useless with Gomess' model, his scythe is mapped properly and can be used, but Gomess will have to have his UV's redone. Which is more effort than it's worth.

I'm running into a bit of a snag. I submitted Lakebed Temple but I don't think it's complete. From what I see, all of the parts of the map that move (Lakebed's central stairs, Goron Mine magnet cranes, etc) except for doors, which are in the map files, are in a separate folder, mostly in the /res/Object. The main problem is I'm having a really hard time figuring out what's what, and there's a ton of different things (edit: 1396) in that folder.

Also, should I just go with submitting these as FBX with embedded media (textures)? It would make things quicker for me, and I would really prefer doing it that way.

I would submit what you have now then later we can rip all of those level-specific objects and submit them into their own folder and category. ("Lakebed Temple Objects", "Goron Mines Objects", etc.)

I'm currently trying to go through every file in the Object folder and discern what's what. I have around 20% of it down on a .txt. It's a very time consuming process though. Drag each file onto yaz0dec, drag those onto rarcdump, open those and figure out what it is, export to .3ds, open in Maya, export to FBX... I only wanted to do .fbx instead of .dae because I didn't want the extra step of manually rewriting the texture paths from absolute to relative, which is very long and tedious in itself. So far, I have 300 individual items labeled, though a few of them are unrippable and others have broken textures, and others are downright impossible for me to figure out where it belongs. I'm still making progress though.

Too bad there's not a quicker way to do everything, TP ripping is a pretty lengthy process in comparison to MM3D and OoT3D.

Alright, everyone's submissions are added to the OP!

@TwiliChaos I'm pretty sure the name change is done automatically. All of my submissions were just the name of the area and they've been updated.

Thanks for the info. I'll be moving on to the overworld area, and after that I'll be moving to the other internal buildings. The overworld water files are missing so I'm assuming they're in one of the files named @bg00** in the \res\Object area. Since I have no idea how to export Shaders in any meaningful way, I'll ignore it for now. Like the Dungeons post I made, I'll make another post showing what I have ripped and what I can't get exported with correct textures. It's entirely possible that the yaz0dec and/or bmdview2 programs I'm using is outdated and have newer versions where texture breaking isn't as frequent or rarely happens, but I have no idea about that or where to find them. If you can get the maps I have marked in red to load textures properly, I'd like a copy of your program(s) so that I don't run into those problems anymore.
