[REL] Renderware file converter

[Pauloso 266]

Update:

I rewrote the iOS DFF code such that I got mdl->dff conversion for free. This functionality was moved to the stories converter and is *no* longer part of convdff.exe

So this program converts PS2 chks, mdls and iOS txds, dffs:

All other dff conversion is still handled by convdff.exe

One More Question How i Can Open Obb File On Mobile Version?, Because i want the files to use i 3dsmax.

[The Hero 6,937]

The GTA obb files are mostly just zips. Only LCS has something else, but see http://gtaforums.com/topic/833380-gta-liberty-city-stories-mobile-modding/?p=1068500317

When I try to explorer any txd converted from LCS/VCS on txdworkshop the same dont´t work

[xiaogui319 6]

Is there a VC dff convert to LCS tool?

[El Dorado 3,632]

I need a batch to extract each texture on a folder with the same name as the txd

 

ex. admiral folder
-admiral.tga
banhsee folder

-banshee.tga

 

and etc

 

help, anyone?

[Sam Lake 11,859]

 

Very helpful tools

 

Here's a batch code for txdex. It creates folders for every txd and then it puts all the textures extracted from each txd in those folders:

for %i in (*.txd*) do txdex %i & if /i not "%~nxi"=="%~nx0" md "%~ni" 2>nul & move "*.tga*" "%~ni" >nul

[El Dorado 3,632]

oh... alright

Intresting...

lvz files how to open？？

[guard3 2,352]

I have problems converting xbox textures to pc.

I decompress textures, but when I use txdconv.exe, textures are messed up!

[ArTuRMV 70]

Ahn, there is a possibility to do the opposite way? PC to PS2? I'm looking for some program or plugin but I never found. Exist a lot of PS2 mod with custom model but I never found tools and tutorials about that.

 

For example:

The tool already does that. Just specify your version to the output and there you have it

[The Hero 6,937]

Right, note however that I haven't really tested it. In theory you don't even need special PS2 or Xbox dffs.

[ArTuRMV 70]

So... I tried just put a PC's dff in PS2 but doesn't work. I think the dff need some conversion but I have no idea how can I do this. But if this program can do this, how can I do this conversion? o3o And there is only the 3.6.0.3 version for SA.

 

This is what happen.

Were you able to build a working iso without changing any files? Also, what file did you replace?

[ArTuRMV 70]

I replaced the original SMG's model using the PC version putting in the PS2 version. I know how to create a ISO, I did some texture mods using the TxdGen.

 

Example:

Walter White T-Shirt

 

 

 

 

Adaptation of beta textures

 

 

 

 

Miku's wall

 

 

 

New spray

 

 

 

 

Also the map with textures from GTA SA mobile version

 

 

 

 

Nissan Skyline tunning style

You are out of luck then. I remember doing the same thing year ago. Textures are working fine but models are just not working.

I asked the same question year ago but still no answer.

 

If I remember correctly, PC models only worked for me in Vice City. I still haven't tested III. (But I did recreate the ISO, it was less than 1 GB compared to original 4.37 GB.)

 

I used $ony CDDVDGEN.

I did a lot of thing in San Andreas of PS2, like edit radios or put custom animations but I never get success with models in PS2 because I didn't found any tutorial or tools to make that kind of conversion. ;/

 

GTA SA PS2 Modded with custom animations:

 

 

GTA VC PS2 Modded with random things:

Much interested in PS2 models conversion too.

As far I remember, player.img models are semi-equal between PC and PS2, so player model mods exist on PS2.

 

The Hero, please, could you look through PS2 models?

Completing PS2 *.dff support will be much appreciated for RewnderWare convertsion toolset.

[The Hero 6,937]

Interesting. I wonder what the problem is...but honestly it's not really a great priority.

I was reading the gtamodding.com and I saw a page speaking about exclusive lines in DFF's ps2 version, maybe can be this. I'll be very thankful if you could help me because I'm trying do this since 2010.

It's possible modify DAT files (like the timecyc) and/or the GXT files and compile it with $ony CDDVDGEN, will work?

Yes! I did this at my modded Vice City to PS2.

 

[Dageron RUS 129]

Yeah, I also tested VC DFF models in PS2, VC and III worked for me fine
But SA not, as we already mentioned above. Hope that The Hero will help us... After completing PS2 support he always will stay my hero and legend.

[Sloth- 49]

I'm trying to convert files extracted from LCS Android version but dff's not working.

I'm using this on console:

 

storiesconv.exe input.dff output.dff

This is how it looks on Map Editor (fine as you can see, the texture conversion is ok):

 

 

And this is how looks ingame (collision works but dff is invisible):

 

 

Is there something i'm doing wrong? Do i must specify the version in the command?

I also tried to convert the dff through 3DS Max Kam's script and Deniska script but it was the same.

 

 

EDIT:

 

i tested the conversion for Vice City and it works fine!

 

 

And i also did the conversion to SA's format through:

 

storiesconv -v 36003 origin.dff dest.dff

But still got invisible dff on SA.

Please help!

Maybe txds? Try using magic.txd and mass convert to SA version. In Vice City, at least, no txd = no model
