JSRF Tool v2.1

Not many changes on this version, since anyway you can pretty much extract almost all models and textures now.

This update is for the player stats editor, at this point I have only tested and validated the values "health" and "max cans".
I have added other values which I believe are general stats, I compared the values from players to players to see what changed, overall these values with a question mark ? are the ones that changed often and are probably stats such as stamina, grinding speed, spraying speed etc, feel free to test these and let me know if you can confirm what is what, thanks!

There are of course a lot more values, but some never change in any of the players, probably more settings for player movement behavior, but I preferred to list whatever would be the actual stats.

"0x328" is just the position of the value in the file, don't worry about it =) 

Also I was thinking you may want to try smaller values such as 0.1 or the opposite such as 30 for the, these may be timers such as how much time you have to wait to be able to spray again or do a trick.

I have also enable texture injection aka "replace texture" button for the player files, BUT I disabled it the first time because it didn't work well, so if you're going to inject textures, do it once at a time and try to see if it still loads.

Again let me know if you tested modifying the stats if you found something, or just post a video if you got some funny result! ;)

Don't forget to empty the cache (X partition)  everytime you modify a file, so it reloads the new file.

Moar Spray Cans

So I can edit player stats... =O Infinite spray cans!

Hey there, quick random post.

I have been looking a little at JSRF files this week end, still nothing on bones/animation but I figured out where characters "settings" are, basicaly I was able to set the max spray cans for any character and there's many other parameters such as spraying speed, grinding speed though I am not sure of what is what but I found the block where these kind of settings are within the player.bin files.

So is anyone intrested in having a player stats editor in the tool, I mean do you have a modded xbox and will use it? otherwise I'll probably won't research any further about that.

I might implement model injection, though not injecting new models, just extract and re-inject the same model, keep the same polygon count so in that case you should only move vertices/edges/faces on an extracted model and reinject.
This would allow to edit levels meshes or any object.

And I am still trying to get at least the bones and weight maps for characters!

So let me know what you think =)

Oh and some random models from the menu files (\Disp\SprnNorm.dat)

JSRF Tool v0.2 - Level model extract & Sounds extraction

Hello JSRF fans!

This post is focused on the new version of the JSRF tool, if you're not really interested in using the tool you probably don't need to read this boring technical description which I'll try to keep short and simple anyways.

So I haven't had time to work on this project at all, but I have taken a few days to try to fix some things, and it was hard to remember how things worked, but here's honestly a more or less efficient extraction tool.

When you open a JSRF .dat or .bin it will load nodes in the tree, I gave a color for each type:

Red nodes = Materials
Purple nodes = Models
Yellow nodes = Textures
Grey nodes = unknown/empty

Models (MDLB) and textures

In this version MDLB are all exported fine, still in .obj but with also the .mtl (material) so the texture is assigned to the model.
To export a model with textures create a "textures" folder in the same folder you export the model and use the "export all" yellow button to export the textures in the textures folder (it is important to use "Export All" since it gives the texture identifier number assigned to the material of the model for the .mtl to find)

Levels

As for level models (MDLBL) they all export fine with the right texture, but there is one model type which I never got around to extract properly so they just won't export, those are name "triangle strip" type in the "Triangles info" when you have an MDLBL selected.

The level models are located in the "Stage" folder and are split up in many files, you can only extract things from the .dat for the stages, these contain models and textures.

For instance the garage models and textures are split in the files:

-stg00_00.dat

-stg00_01.dat

-stg00_02.dat

-stg00_03.dat

-stg00_04.dat

You have to extract all the models and textures (to a folder named "textures" in the same folder you extracted the models) from those files to get the garage.

You may notice there are some "MDLB" in the stages files, those are objects also called props which are placed many times in the level, probably their spawn and position/rotation are defined in the .bin which I didn't look much into.

The level sky model/texture is in the files ending by "_t.dat" for the garage "Stg00_t.dat"

Sounds 

This one works perfectly and doesn't really need to be explained, just open a file in the folder "files\Media\Sounds\SE" and it will automatically switch to the "Sound" tab, you can either extract all the files to .wav format, or click one and play it.

Misc

I added a settings tab so you can define the JSRF folder files, export models/texture folders, so the tool now will open the latest folder you selected for exporting files.

There is also a "replace texture" button, which lets you inject textures, but it was quickly implemented, only us it if you really know what you're doing anyways, more explanations on the "readme.txt" file in the tool .zip file.

Let me know any particular problem in the comments ;)

Beat 3D flash viewer =D

Hey there,

I am trying "Alternativa 3D" which is a flash 3D engine, not really for putting the JSRF models for you guys to view more like to make some game in the future, but I though I could make a test see if I could get a model in Alternativa.

So here it is for those of you who don't know how to view the 3D models i posted earlier, beat in 3D from your webrowser, you need Adobe Flash v10 or higher.

So Click down here and use WASD keys to move the camera and Left click & drag to aim with the camera, sorry couldn't fix the camera you'll have to move it a bit to see the entire character.

Mirror



Enjoy =)

April's fools ;D

Here's some screenshots of models in the 3D view-port.

Gouji's Tower & Graffiti garage

Gouji's Tower

This is where you create your graffitis =D

Still working on the tool, I got models with materials groups to extract with their materials/textures assgined, though now there's a few models which don't extract with the right texture :S
As for levels still one model type not extracted fine (those with "stripped" triangles) and another model type for the levels which I believe is the collision model.

"Yeah!! This is DJ Professor K, Baby!"

Yay! I found it, it was in the least expected file, looks like cinematic files can also contain models and textures so here it is =O (made a quick rough render)

So here's a closer look at DJK's radio station.

Please do click the images to see in larger format ;D

Hayashi has a katana!? well at least its on its model file.
Some enemies missing can't find the guy with his metal tentacles

99th Street objects

Sorting things out, like what texture is assigned to a model (MDLB type) is done =D though not for a model that uses more then one texture gotta figure that out probably will make it.

I figured out that some models have their texture and material in the .dat but some others will have their materials in the .bin files and/or the textures in a second .dat file (this is because there are the same files for different languages but they use the same texture) the levels models have their textures split in many .dat files more work for me to code the JSRF tool o_o"

So here's a look at some objects of 99th street, its not a render though just a screenshot of the 3D app's viewport.

That yellow robot on the left is pretty cool xD

These from some other level, though many levels have the same objects.

Enjoy your meal =P

I realise I forgot to flip these horizontally on the 3D app after export, so if you can't read but can read Japanese that's why ;)

And here's one more thing for today, this one, I did flip it horizontally ;D well since its a model (MDLB type) that has many texture I still can't extract it with textures assinged, so here's a lambert with a wireframe.
And if you already tried the tool and extracting models, don't search this one you won't find it, I just figured out how to open the files on the "Mark" folder which contains fonts models and the thing below you should be able to recognize.

If you're a real JSRF fan you should recognize it =)

Texture MODs

Hi!

I have quickly implemented texture injection to my tool, so now I can inject (replace) textures =D

Here's some videos simply for demonstration purposes.
