skeleton name for SWBF1: humanmale.ebx

skeleton name for SWBF2: walrus_humanmale.ebx

VisualUnlock files allows to automatically find the needed face asset inside the bank.

Every mesh in ANY frostbite game must have this unlock file. Can be called different. Usually located near mesh.ebx file. Example:

\ebx\characters\sp\ep3_mudandblood\townsend_ingame\sp_townsend_head_ingame_vu.ebx

\ebx\characters\mp\faces\unlocks\mp_faces_ako.ebx

Note that for some characters, these VisualUnlock files may contain asset links not in head, but in teeth, hair or beard instead. There are also some weird cases, where head links to incorrect asset, and the correct one is in hair.

Also in the same dir must be .assetbank file (or files) where you think assets for this face can be.

These are usually biggest bank for the level, located in "res\animations\antanimations\"

You can place ALL banks there, tool will check them all. This can be slow, because banks are HUGE.

Some scripts incorrectly name .assetbank files as ".ANT", in this case you need to rename them.

Here are Python scripts for dumping the beta. 32-bit Python 2.7.3 recommended.

I was only able to fix Nikto and other "face skin" head variants by manually editing (splitting) VUR files. I can't find separate VUR file for those, they are merged together in one.

Also there are problems with troopers weights. I have no reports if anyone needs that fixed.

Python script to convert audio

1. this first version is only for SWBF2 full game, and not patch, so select DATA folder

2. no progress bar sorry

3. type something in edit box and press "FilteR" button to select what to dump

3. if you leave "filter" edit box empty, it will dump WHOLE game

4. you need to click "scan bundles" & "scan CAS/CAT" before dumping, but you only need to do this ONCE, after that, bundles & cas info will be hashed

Since the new tool now outputs chunks with short 16-letter names, i need to change model, texture and audio tools. I planned to rewrite them anyway.

This is for example, new model tool. It will now support both long and short chunks.

Tool Download

Note everyone, as i said, the tool is not supposed to run with patched assets yet, so when selecting game folder, select DATA folder of the game, and not the root game folder.

Those who already did it, remove all extra files from tool folder, and run scans again.

There must be no missing chunks on the check

Patch support will be added later.

UFBE 0.2 released!

Changes:

- Support for: Battlefield 1, SWBF1, SWBF2 (alpha, beta and full game)

- chunks will have long lowercase names, so all previous tools will work

- fixed crash if some CAS files are missing

- added resource types for BF1

You need to delete all files from tool folder, otherwise it will crash.

A quick fix (same post above updated)

- chunks will have long lowercase names (so texture tool can find them)

- added resource types for BF1

Now I checked that all my previous mesh tools, texture tool, audio conversion script - all work OK.

New Frostbite Tools

Battlefont Map Tool

1. Dump the game

You can use existing python script, but its slower and dumps almost every texture twice with different names, producing about 30 GB of useless files.

I recommend using attached toc_swbf2.exe - set desired parameters in ufbe.ini and run it.

Parameters are:

- game path

- dump path

- asset type

Asset type can be "ebx", "res", "chunks" or "all". Anything else (or empty line) is considered as "all".

2. Edit the included FB_MAPS.INI file with paths to your dump.

The other 3 tools need this fb_maps.ini file with 2 parameters: paths to dumped bundles (ebx+res) and chunks.

3. Create database

Run fb_maps_swbf2_db.exe tool once, it will scan whole dump for meshsets and blueprints, so later maps can be converted fast, without the need to go into whole tree of assets. This will take a few minutes. After that, 2 files will be created: bp.db & meshnames.txt, which need to stay in the same folder with EXE for main tool to work.

4. Export maps

Use fb_maps_swbf2.exe (main map tool) to convert maps. Drop any EBX on it, use in command line with 1 parameter, or create a batch.

5. Terrain export

Main terrain data is in .TerrainStreamingTree files for each level. For some levels, these files are small, which means the actual data is in chunks. Sometimes data is in the file itself, in this case it may be big, about 50mb in size.

Drop .TerrainStreamingTree on fb_terrain_swbf2.exe or use command line.

It will export heightmap parts into "hmap" subfolder. As you can see on the pictures above, terrain in frostbite is saved in square parts of different size, organized in a tree-like structure. Some parts may be very detailed, while others not. Tool will only save highest detail level for each square and skip all lower LODs.

So far this first version terrain tool only exports base (heightmap) layer from these files. But they contain much more data, such as terrain masks, normals, textures etc. I can add support for it later.

Usage has remained the same (see corresponding posts for each game):

Just instead of main tool for map export, use these new ones, and instead of .ASCII export it will generate .DMF

NFS the Run

SWBF2

Anthem

The new format allows for very fast loading times and small file sizes

For example, the Deathstar MP level on the screen above is loading in 5-10 seconds and export is 55mb in size.

Instances support for objects and materials:

each object is exported once as a master object, and instances are based on each master object,
every single master object is located at the center 0,0,0 and hidden by default upon import,
in order to edit/modify/replace/etc a individual object un-hide that object that is located at 0,0,0 and once you make any changes the instances of that object will follow every change made,
once a master object is selected for editing, in the material properties you will see the actual material name of that mesh/sub-mesh it has

Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge (Oculus) tool.

Static & skeletal models, maps supported.

Details about tool usage are the same as for FF7 tool.

There's one difference: this game uses automatically generated Hierachical LODs, which creates a lot of static meshes with same names. They are just low detail versions of other meshes, so you have to delete them before converting maps. You can either delete \Game\Environments\HLODs\ before preparing static models for maps, or after that, delete all files named like SM_HLODClusterActor... from created staticmesh.raw folder.

Star Wars First Assault Tool

Tool checked and working on all skeletal models from that demo.

Drag .skeletalmesh file onto .exe and it will extract model into 3 formats: .OBJ, .SMD and .ASCII. Only SMD file will have proper skeleton connected to bones. If NameTable.txt produced by Extract.exe will be in the same folder, bones will have proper names.

a quick solution for textures:

- run bms script on TFC, this will unpack all textures in raw format

- open them with noesis plugin (will not work for all of them, but most big ones)

Umodel must be able to extract all textures from this game, but for some reason it refuses to get most of them. Maybe just needs some options. Anyway, you should be able to get any texture either with umodel or raw extraction tools provided here.

If you have troubles finding particular texture, just open its .Texture2D file and look for image offset in .TFC package. BMS script will unpack them with names according to these offsets. Like here for this blasterRifle, its usually there after those FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, I marked it green:

Tool for skeletal models, PS2 & Wii (now with cloth)

You need .mdl & .mdg files. Drop any of these onto the tool and it will make .obj file with exported model.
