Well, the name is misleading. I was suppose to make it expand or de-compress the entire rom so you could use it in bottles glasses. However, I felt that it would be better if the decompression code was implemented into BG itself. That way the program would decompress files as needed.

Anyways, the program in the zip file just allows a user to extract files at the end of ROM that aren't accessible with Sub's decompressor. As you can see, I've already included said files in the zip.

OK, it is a good Idea to incorporate the decompression in BG, it would be like the UOT.

Ive noticed some texture stretching in some models

194F60


444270


B43A00


B74FB8 (Really Stretched)


C76D28


7796E0


and I'm working on the BKmodels INI file a bit more too. I will post it when I am finished.

EDIT:
Here is the updated INI file. Its not a major update but I renamed some Models and named some Unknowns.
Thanks. I noticed that error shortly after the last release; it's been fixed for a while now. The new release isn't quite ready though.

We can wait. I'm content with the current version.

Hopefully TT64 will get it's long awaited update soon(I doubt it though.) so I can use the models with the importer.

Great work cooliscool! In future releases, will there be better .obj export compatibility? I tried to export numerous models, but the geometry is a bit messed up.

Here is what I am talking about. http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...man221/bk1.png

Or is it just a problem with me?
Thanks!

That's a bug that only occurs when exporting animated models. Stationary items like levels should export perfectly. Still working on fixing animated models, and as soon as I do I'll make a new release.

The .mtl file is supposed to tell the program where all the textures belong on the .obj, correct? Does anybody know how to get the textures on the .obj using 3DS max? I tried importing the .mtl after having already brought in the .obj but it doesn't seem to work. (I'm not exactly a "pro" when it comes to 3-D software.)

What application are you using? I'm using 3DS Max 2010 and its working fine.

Version 9. I'm under the impression that importing the .mtl isn't bringing the textures in with it. I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious.

Yes. Am I supposed to import the folder somehow, rather than the .obj and .mtl at separate times?

On Lightwave, I have to bring in all of the textures manually.

Thanks for going through the trouble of making a video. I was under the impression the .mtl file was used to tell all the textures where to go. I was trying to import fairly large objects (level-sized things) which is why I wasn't doing the textures manually.
