Re: TE2MV: A tool to view 3D models... |

Hope I'm not too late to the party, I have only just seen this |
|
site and my mouth dropped when I saw that someone had figured |
|
out how to rip the 3D models! I have been documenting the early |
|
Tekken series animations on and off since 2008; there are around |
|
3000 different animations in Tekken 2 alone, despite most |
|
characters sharing moves. Note that the animations are |
|
everything from moves, to moving around, standing still, |
|
laying/rolling on the ground, taking damage, being |
|
launched/juggled/thrown, to win/lose animations, and even unused |
|
moves which never made the cut. Note that I have only documented |
|
(not ripped) the animations by looking at the pointers in the |
|
game. |
|
The thing which got me started was not actually the PlayStation |
|
version of Tekken 2, but the original Ver. A arcade release |
|
which was slightly different to the later versions, having less |
|
moves and a few different move notations, some of which were not |
|
even documented in FAQs (most FAQs either covered the more |
|
common Ver.B arcade machine or the PlayStation version). |
|
Just wondering, would the arcade 3D models be the same as (or |
|
similar to) the PlayStation versions? The arcade hardware is |
|
basically a custom PS1-based system with Namco's own sound chip |
|
replacing the Sony one. I have a feeling the data may be |
|
compressed inside the ROMs as even the TIMs don't show up (note |
|
that you have to interleave the ROMs first, otherwise everything |
|
will be garbled). TIMs do show up inside save states and memory |
|
dumps however, as well as on the Tekken 5 disc (tk5data3.bin). |
|
Note that the arcade games do not have a visible file system to |
|
speak of, so there is no reading through ARC/BNS files unlike |
|
the PlayStation games, you would most likely have to read |
|
through (and decompress if necessary) the entire ROM data. It |
|
may be easier to rip things from the first 3 games from the |
|
Tekken 5 PS2 disc, but I don't know if the arcade data is still |
|
there or if they are simply PS2 ports of the arcade games |
|
reusing the old PS1-style graphics (the sound is definitely |
|
redone, mostly using the PS1 sound effects). |
|
While the arcade version of Tekken 2 may (or may not) have |
|
identical 3D models to the PlayStation version, the arcade |
|
version of Tekken 1 has three unique character models - King's |
|
white/red P2 outfit, Law's all-yellow P1 outfit, and Ganryu (all |
|
bosses only had P1 outfits). Tekken 3 is also a completely |
|
different beast on System 12, with a higher poly count, higher |
|
resolution and 3D stages (compared to the flat stage backgrounds |
|
in the PlayStation version) - unfortunately you won't find |
|
Doctor Boskonovitch, Gon or the Tekken Force guys on the arcade |
|
version (Anna is there, although her moves aren't as she was |
|
only a Start button costume swap for Nina). The arcade versions |
|
of Tekken Tag Tournament, Soul Edge and SoulCalibur may also be |
|
similar in design, all three games have 3D backgrounds similar |
|
to Tekken 3. |
