    Xj Conversion Notes

    Okay did some npm cleaning. I removed all of the existing packages and re-published them with names that made more sense. 1. BML_Export 2. NJM_Convert 3. Ply_Motion 4. PVM_Export Also I started playing around with PVM and managed to export an archive all to png format from the command line. I...

    Wanting to make a PSO Private Server in Java

    Don't forget there's also Sylverant for comparing source code. I played around with the server a little bit, but not much. You can get Teth running on your local machine to test how it works as is. The MySQL implementation and table structure is pretty simple to get familiar with. You can write...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Okay, updated my Github page so it almost looks like a project, almost but not really. Also Soly, I'm not sure if you're using any of my poorly written source code, but you might want to look at my updated source for BML archives. PSO version 2 has 16 bytes of zeros between each file in the...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    No need to argue. For me it's mostly personal preference, I'd rather be able to be able to do everything from the command line, but drag and drop is nice, and GUI's are simple and intuitive to use. That's part of why I'm trying to document everything and make my source as open and clean as...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Made a small tool for simple bml exporting. You can install the bml export util by openning the command line and typing in "> npm install export_bml -g". This will add "bml_expt" to your path. From any directory, you can hold shift while right clicking and select, "open command line here"...

    Another tool and another video on how to use it. This time for extracting player animation data. I do some light explanation in the video for the general concept of how to extract the animations. Source code is here: link. 1. Install nodejs 2. Open a command line 3. > npm install plymotion -g...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Been putting off fixing my PsoBB njm2 to Pso njm converter. Would like to be able to say it's finished, but at least for the most part it seems to be working, so I published it on NPM. To use it, download and install Nodejs. From the command line (directory doesn't matter), run > npm install...

    This server is now 100% legal!

    Update on xj models. Kind of looks like a pwand, what do you guys thinks?

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Yeah, overall i think modding tools for this game have diminishing returns because you're having to create custom tools from the ground up for a closed game. If there are simple mods I could apply by working on exporting models I might try and go for it, but animations for maps just seems like...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Progress report. Tried a couple of different things over the last few days. Now that I can more or less parse XJ models, I took another look at PSOBB maps and wrote and exporter from scratch. Not perfect. I need to fix the textures as there were a few I couldn't parse out and I have to trace...

    Also Glader's forest 1 preview is up on youtube, if anyone wants to check it out.

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Not quite perfect, but my xj export script has improved from almost entirely suck to slightly less suck. Translations are still a little off, but rotations and the overall structure seem to be okay.

    Sorry for the post spam. It helps me take notes, and I'd like for this information to be as available as possible. Visual representation of the nj/xj tree structure: Rotations are written next to the node they apply to.

    Still a work in progress, but Glader's been putting in a lot work on forest and it's really starting to look amazing. https://i.gyazo.com/4336934e4ee4e3d3d6e ... df6e8d.mp4 https://i.gyazo.com/08eb7bcfa1cad9eaeff ... 240593.mp4 Hopefully I can get some better exports of the other maps. I can...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    On a level of one to dumb, this is pretty dumb. But I published my file-to-excel-based-hex-spreadsheet as a command line tool on npm. So if you install Nodejs, you can open the command line and enter > npm install hexcel -g which will install my stupid utility to the path. You can then use my...

    Xj Conversion Notes

    If you're familiar with Nodejs, here's the gist of it. Needs exceljs from npm. And then you can run it with: > node binary_to_excel.js <filename> And it will create an excel file with the same base name and xls extension in the same directory.

    Actually it's stupidly fun and intuitive to use. I wrote a short script/program that takes any file and exports the hex into a .xls file. After I can select cells and color them in. It makes comparing section and flags in files so much easier.

    After trying a bunch of different hex editors and finding that they all suck, I finally found a program with the functionality i was looking for, Excel. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... ingle=true

    Xj Conversion Notes

    Some modest progress. I was messing around at work and I managed to copy&paste a NJCM chunk from one of the PSO version 2 n.rel maps into it's own .nj wrapper and displayed it in Noesis. So the proof of concept of exporting maps as .nj files works. And I took some time tonight to try and...
