[3DSMAX|WIP] Driver San Francisco Vehicle Importer

[MAJEST1C_R3]

A couple days ago I've played Driver SF and saw a lot of nice cars which would looks good in our loved GTA Series. So I decided to make 3ds max script which helps us to convert them.

For now loading geometry is done. But I still need to find UV data (UPD: I found it, but needs to convert UV coords because it's crypted and applied to model texture looks a bit messy, also I found shading or VCol data) and (maybe) some values which defines level of detail (now all levels of detail loaded by default)

 

 

 

 

 

UPD: After small additions into script I able to load city geometry (but buggy)

Looks great, like to get some stuff out of that game and have it in the GTA engine just to play arround with it.

 

Keep it up,

Yeah. I think San Francisco would looks good on GTA engine. I just need to find a way to decrypt those damn UV coords

[direstraits]

Waiting for this a long time ago.

 

Nice Job.

[Spider-Vice]

Very good job. The city from Driver SF would look pretty cool in GTA IV!

[MAJEST1C_R3]

UPD: I found reason of crashing when loading city geometry and fixed it

UPD 2: Added UV support for cars. City uses differrent UV mapping method. So I will decrypt it too

How do we import them? Are you able to open "dngvehicles.sp"?

[MAJEST1C_R3]

Yeah. Importer automatically list all resources in "dngvehicles.sp" and "san_francisco.dngc". Only you'll need is double click on model in list and it will be loaded

[Silent]

Great! That Challenger is gonna look kickass in IV.

[MAJEST1C_R3]

Cars loaded fine now. But I have few problems with city loading.

 

 

Some parts of city, like walls of buildings are missing I don't know why. And UV data of city models decoded by different way so it problem too.

 

UPD: Added optional auto-detach model parts.

This is awesome! Can't wait to see more progress!

I need to find a way to decrypt UV data for tiled textures (It mostly used in city models, but also on car parts which uses carbon texture). Tile textures still looks messy

 

I'm on Win7 so I can't use 3dRipperDX to rip some area of the city or car which uses this tile textures and take a look on correct UV data and starting writing code for UV decryption

 

If someone who can rip models from SF with 3dRipperDX- you'll can help me ripping for example Pagani Zonda in area on my previous post and give me download link to it.

 

Look at this damn carbon texture:

3dRipperDX works even on w7x64 but without global monitoring

[MAJEST1C_R3]

3dRipperDX works even on w7x64 but without global monitoring

 

Yeah. It works but with DirectX 9 games. On Win7 Driver SF works on DirectX 11. I don't want downgrade to XP to rip those models

The game doesn't allow you to select a renderer like in Max Payne 3, or the dxlevel command in Source, right?

[MAJEST1C_R3]

Yeah

[direstraits]

Try with Ninja Ripper.

[MAJEST1C_R3]

Try with Ninja Ripper.

Already tried.

Will be cool if someone who has this game rip for me pagani zonda with part of the city (with 3dripperDX).

Work is stuck because I don't have these models

I think these are models extracted from D:SF

Seems these models was ripped with ninja ripper. 3ds Max script by author of ninja ripper requires at least 3ds Max 9 but I only have 3ds Max 8

 

And I concretely want Pagani Zonda model.

 

Here original and decoded UV data of interior of VW Scirocco:

 

 

And original UV data of tile carbon texture of Pagani zonda:

Totally different

 

Also found UV data of scratches:

[Alexander Blade]

whats the algo for normal not tiled textures ?

Some other game uses same cryption method or what?

 

UPD: I've implemented loading vCol/shadow. Looks beautiful

Edited October 18, 2013 by MAJEST1C_R3

[Alexander Blade]

No , I mean how do you convert original texture UV to the decoded one like for interior of VW Scirocco ?

[MAJEST1C_R3]

just scaled coords when read it from file.

[Alexander Blade]

I have the working code

 

[MAJEST1C_R3]

I have the working code

 

 

Where headlights?

 

 

 

 

 

Also I found all missing stuff of city geometry (about 7560 objects)

 

UV importing now seems to be fine, now I need to hack section of texture assignment

[riquenunes]

That's some nice progress right there. Do you think it's gonna be possible to get all map objects coordinates too? It's gonna be interesting having San Francisco along with the cars in IV engine, hell even in Renderware.

[MAJEST1C_R3]

Maybe. but now I have another problems with city importing

[Fireboyd78]

Majestic, from my knowledge of how Reflections works with cities, they are not objects, but rather splines that get rendered in-game. The model you posted above of a city block seems to possibly be collision meshes. You're better off focusing on cars, because it's likely that cities will need specialized tools to be able to load roads and terrain properly. I know for a fact this is how DRIV3R/Driver: Parallel Lines works, so I don't see why DSF wouldn't work the same. It's basically a huge list of spline definitions, not actual meshes. I would need to research this further to confirm this, but the city is much to big to be split up into individual models (I'm talking about roads, mainly).

[MAJEST1C_R3]

maybe you right, but anyway these collisions is too detailed and have UV data. Also in global section stored at least 5 copies of every model.
