eviljim Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hello all, I'm trying to make plugins using characters from PSX games. All of the games are legally purchased and such. The problem I'm encountering, however, is that I can't seem to extract the models (.TMD) correctly from the PSX disks. I got a TMD ripper and the 3dsmax plugin to import the tmd files but I have not been able to test the plugin since everytime i rip a model from the disk it comes up blank. Has anyone had any success in the past with doing this? I figure it shouldn't be too hard: 1. rip model from disk.2. import to 3dsmax3. retexture and export to .nif4. build plugin with TES:CS If I'm wrong in my assumptions I welcome a correction as it seems the fastest way to do this (at the rate I'm going anyway <_< ) would be to create the characters from scratch. The tools i'm using are: ImportCGF (the import plugin for 3ds4)TMD_RIP (for ripping the tmd files from the PSX disk) any help would be appreciated.

DreamOfTheRood Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 My girlfriend wants me to do one of the Soul Calibur characters. Marry her. Seriously. Right now. If you find a girl that geeky with reasonable hygiene, cooking skills and a decent job, marry her. You'll be set for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valdir Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I agree with DOTR. Ontopic: I don't think it's "legal" to do this. Even if you don't tell anyone, I suggest you just model them yourself, or get someone else to. Ripping models from a PSX game onto the PC, then making them work in Morrowind sounds a little too unreasonable. Also, waiting four hours isn't exactly enough time for someone to give you a good response ;P ~val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviljim Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 to DOTR: don't woory i'm planning on it :D to valdir: i figured as much but i assumed it would only be illegal if i distributed it. i didn't see a problem if me and my girl would be the only users since we own the game.

Slaiv Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 You have 3DsMax..... Why not make the models yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviljim Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 You have 3DsMax..... Why not make the models yourself? there's no way for me to say this without sounding like a loser so i'll just say it: A. i'm not very good with max yet so i'm trying to do it the "easy" way. :blush: B. I've pulled sprites from games before (my link icon) and I see the PSX models as a challenge. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Okay, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviljim Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 if no one has pulled PSX models before does anyone know where i might check? maybe (dare i say :ph34r: ) another forum? or maybe a tutorial site? i've seen some vague stuff on a few emulation and homebrew developer sites but nothing very detailed. :help: EDIT: jftr - if anyone knows of a specific hardware/software limitation/issue that would prevent me from accomplishing this i welcome the info.
