Wild Arms 3 [PS2] [PS4] tools.
Usage
First, you need to split BIN archives to individual packages that i called SEG files, like segments.
For this, you need "table" *.T files from the executable (included).
Place them to corresponding folders with BIN files.
Drop .T or .BIN on WildArms3_bin.exe, doesnt matter.
character/monster packs
BTLMON.BIN - all monsters and characters
BTLANM.BIN - horse rides and such
Use wa3_seg_mon.bms to decompress .SEG files. Each will have 1 monster or character.
After you get SEG decompressed, you'll get a set of files, which will be similar for ALL of them.
Use WildArms3_texture.exe to convert textures:
WildArms3_texture 5.dat 6.dat
5 is palette
6 is image
main 3 files you will need for the model are always named C D E
C is description
D is skeleton
E is model
You have to pass these all to WildArms3_model.exe, and they must be in that order: C D E
Example: WildArms3_model.exe 0000000C.dat 0000000D.216 0000000E.dat
you will get same model in SMD and ASCII
All files after those will be animations.
Animations will all be named like *.213
Remaining small .dat files are not needed, they are animation bounding boxes, or something, useless for us. So you need to process animations to apply to models.
For this, use WildArms3_anm.exe
It needs 2 files: skeleton and animation.
So use like ... WildArms3_anm.exe 0000000d.216 00000011.213
It will make .smd with extracted animation. Then apply animations to the model in your 3d software.
You can use batch to process all animations at once.
Split STGMAP.BIN into individual .seg files, then decompress any of them with wa3_seg_stg.bms
each will have 2 map parts: exterior and interior
their files will be same as for models, and have names like:
6 7 8 - exterior
b c d - interior
use them with the model tool and it will export stages
Also stages usually have 2 internal packages:
10 - props and npcs
11 - main character animations for that stage (cutscenes)
Script to unpack them - wa3_seg_int.bms
Before unpacking internal package, rename it and move to another folder, so it will not crash.
Then you will see its all divided into small regions, for one prop or NPC each, and there are 0-sized files between.
Use their content with previous model and animation tools to extracted them.
Also main characters with all their animations for that stage (cutscenes):
Wild Arms Alter Code F
Usage is the same as WA3, with a few exceptions:
Model files for description, skeleton and model will not always be C D E, you can find them easily anyway.
Files for maps will be
11 12 13 - exterior
16 17 18 - interior
1B - Internal package for props and npcs
Run tool in location to generate a folder called "basemodel" drop main model into this folder keeping animation .smd's next to tool. Run tool and it will merge model with animation files.
