Shadow-Link Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Current version: 0.1b Beta Date: 16.07.2009 Download from my website Download from GTAGarage What does it do? With this tool you can convert SA dff files to the IV engine. It will create a wdr file from scratch. The following data will be converted: - Vertex (Position, UV, Material) - Faces - All textures will be added as default gta material Todo: - Vertex Colors Ignored Data: - 2DFX (Handled by wpl) - Night Vertex Colors You can post Comments/Requests/Bug Reports/etc in this topic! NOTE: This is a public beta, and as such it is crucial that you backup all files you replace with models created with dff2wdr! I won't be held responsible for any loss of files that may result due to use of dff2wdr. Requirements - You need to have Java installed - Version 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04 of GTAIV.exe Usage - Make sure all vertices have a texture applied. - Click "File->Open Stock/Custom DFF". - Select the file you want to convert/Select the directory that contains the dff files you want to convert. - Files will be saved as <DFFNAME>.wdr. - Import model with SparkIV/OpenIV. Tip: Use WDR Analyze and check if there are just as many Shaders as Geometrys, if that's not the case don't import the model in IV it will crash. Known issues - Weapons are possible but with bugs. - You can't convert peds/player. (Also contain bones) - When the dff is in the same folder as dff2wdr.exe the program will stop at "Adding padding till *". Changelog Version 0.1b -Added normals (To give models normals you'll need to export your dff with Kam's script and check the "Norm" button.) Version 0.1 -Initial beta release Credits A very special thanks to (in no specific order): Aru, Cool Fire, DexX, Gforce, Jost Vice, Paroxum, REspawn, supermortalhuman, Tim (and everyone I forgot) who have been invaluable in the research of game code/file formats which made this program possible.

chasez Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) How exactly it works? I add the dff file and it stops at 95% with message ''adding padding till 12288'' and that's it nothing else, where it creates the wdr file? some of us already are making weapons but you said that we can't convert weapons and can't convert peds/player but I can't convert even a building Edited July 15, 2009 by chasez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow-Link Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 @crashsilumator234: As mentioned in the readme/this topic/my website/gta garage weapons are not supported yet. You'll have to add the textures to the WTD that's associated with the WDR. @chasez: A log file should be generated, maybe you can mail/post it (only the last few lines). And send me the model you are trying to convert. Edit: It creates the file in the same directory as the dff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow-Link Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Oh forgot to mention this: When you try to convert models exported with kam's script, Use the "Open Custom DFF" option in the menu. else Vertices will screw up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works fine for me Click link here is my test, model is opaque, not dynamically lit, but producing shadow.

Shadow-Link Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) New Release! Download dff2wdr again to get the newest version. New Version supports normals. Which gives models real lighting! To give models normals you'll need to export your dff with Kam's script and check the "Norm" button. JV Will post some screen in the next post Edited July 16, 2009 by Prince-Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JostVice Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Excuse the textures. I'm on medium. Model shows correctly, 3 different materials, cast shadows, lighting and all that stuff. I found a weird bug, where depending of the camera angle one of the geometry blocks (geometry blocks = different materials IDs) dissapeared. Could be something external?

Shadow-Link Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) @JV: It could be the bounding box values in the wpl. Or the Unknown vectors (got an idea what those are, so will implement that tomorrow). Edited July 16, 2009 by Prince-Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gforce Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 @JV: It coulb be the bounding box values in the wpl.
