Random Talking Bush's Model Importers, QuickBMS and Python Scripts

[Kurabupengin]

Does the Megadimension Neptunia VII / Dark Rose Valkyrie - TID to DDS script work with Mary Skelter: Nightmares for PSVita? When I use it, the converted .dds file doesn't seem to open in something like GIMP. I'm not sure if the script is working properly for this game or not.

I tried the Crash N-Sane Trilogy IGZ importer and there's this error
   
 And so I looked at the text
     

The first time I used this script I just deleted some of this and it just imported the model.
Is there any way you or I could fix this?

Update for the MT Framework .tex script? Trying to rip some of the art from MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection but only get garbage when using the current version of the script...

[Random Talking Bush]

Dusting off my topic for a sec to drop this off:

Bezel Engine Archive QuickBMS script

Based off of aluigi's "Vroom SCNE" script here, I've given the script an update so now it works with both Endless Ocean: Luminous and Super Mario Party Jamboree.

...

Yeah, that's it for now. Haven't gotten a chance to update or fix anything else yet (barring replacing most of the Mega.nz links in the first post with the respective uploads on my GitHub page). Eventually.

(EDIT: I'm going to need to update the BFRES script to work with some of the changes for Super Mario Party Jamboree -- the alternate UV names and additional vertex position buffers for eyelids and such. Please be patient.)

[Random Talking Bush]

The BFRES importing script has been updated with preliminary support for the changes with Super Mario Party Jamboree:

https://github.com/RandomTBush/RTB-3DSMa...h_BFRES.ms

Code:

Added support for models with additional vertex position sets (Super Mario Party Jamboree character faces).
Fixed UVs not working with Super Mario Party Jamboree models.
Fixed yet another vertex colour calculation issue with Switch models (e.g. Fire Rosalina's skirt being darker than it should be in SM3DW+BF).

If something doesn't work right (which is likely), let me know and I'll look into it. Just wanted to get something out so that people can start ripping for themselves.

Hello!
When it comes to the DRP tools for Pokken I'm struggling to get them to work. GIT recognizes the .exe files, but when I try to use a command I get the error: 
'DRPE' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm probably being dumb, but any help would be appreciated!

ok im really really new too all this but how do you add the scripts and loads the ism2 files into 3ds Max?  specifically the neptunia ones

Apparently I write Python scripts now, too. In the process of writing a script to help extract sprites from the recently-released Shantae Advance, I unwittingly ended up making something that worked with pretty much the entirety of WayForward's GBA, DS and Didj catalogue of games.

WayForward (GBA/DS/Didj) - .ANM/.AN4/.AN8 to PNG
WayForward (GBA/DS/Didj) - .TS4/.TS8 to PNG
WayForward (GBA/DS/Didj) - .LYR to PNG

Here's a list of the games I've tested which it supports (it's a lot!):

Code:

Game Boy Advance:
American Dragon: Jake Long - Rise of the Huntsclan
Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus
Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses
Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper
Godzilla: Domination
Justice League Heroes: The Flash
Looney Tunes: Double Pack - Dizzy Driving / Acme Antics
Rescue Heroes: Billy Blazes
The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris
Sigma Star Saga
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
Tak: The Great Juju Challenge
Unfabulous!
X-Men: The Official Game
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DS/DSi:
Aliens: Infestation
American Dragon: Jake Long - Attack of the Dark Dragon
Barbie and the Three Musketeers
Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Contra 4
Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem
Galactic Taz Ball
Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck
Mighty Flip Champs
Mighty Milky Way
Shantae: Risky's Revenge
Shrek: Ogres & Dronkeys
Space Chimps
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
Thor: God of Thunder
Where the Wild Things Are
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leapfrog Didj:
Nicktoons: Android Invasion
SpongeBob SquarePants: Fists of Foam

The scripts themselves require some manual set-up, as long as you're familiar with using a program such as TiledGGD then you should have no problem getting something usable with these scripts -- please read the first parts of the scripts for information about that. I've also supplied a set of tile rip examples to use with said scripts to give you a general idea of how to go about setting those up. (EDIT: As of a recent rewrite, this is no longer necessary!)

And for the GBA games, I've made a series of QuickBMS scripts to "dissect" the ROMs into their individual components (.ANM for sprites, .TS4/.TS8 for tilesets, .LYR for screens / maps, .SCN for scenes and palettes, and so on).

American Dragon: Jake Long - Rise of the Huntsclan
Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus
Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (GBA)
Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper
Godzilla: Domination! (US/JPN)
Justice League Heroes: The Flash
Looney Tunes: Double Pack - Dizzy Driving / Acme Antics
Rescue Heroes: Billy Blazes
The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution!
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution! (Demo)
Sigma Star Saga
SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab (GBA)
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
Tak: The Great Juju Challenge

X-Men: The Official Game (GBA)

And now for a few replies I should've gotten to ages ago.

No, it doesn't, it's a different format entirely.

I tried the Crash N-Sane Trilogy IGZ importer and there's this error

 And so I looked at the text

My fault for using a dinosaur of a 3DS Max version for writing my scripts (2010!), and for Autodesk for obsoleting the "Standard" material format that the script was trying to set up there. I really need to add failsafes to the rest of my scripts...

ok im really really new too all this but how do you add the scripts and loads the ism2 files into 3ds Max?  specifically the neptunia ones

With 3DS Max running, go to the "MAXScript" option in the menu bar, then click "Run Script...". In the window afterwards, for your example there, you'll want to select the "CompileHeart_ISM2" script file. After doing so, another window will pop up labelled "Compile Heart ISM2 model importer". Click the "Import ISM2" button, and then select the model you want to import, give it some time afterward and the model should appear in the viewport. Other scripts will work similarly, some with settings windows, others without.

I appreciate the response i got that part to work then this popped up did i do something wrong

-- No ""="" function for ((make ?) Local: SectionOffset_array)
-- File name: G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Neptunia Rebirth1\CompileHeart_ISM2.ms
-- Line number: 153
