shenmue fangame updates "help needed"

[Panda_rapist]

Hey! I'm a new member but I've been reading this forums the last few months, just say COUNT WITH ME!, I'm an amateur programmer but I have some skills in C++ and 3D (only openGL and irrlicht, but searching about unity3D ). There is also a lot of people who have a very large knowledge about ripping shenmue models, here, in the forums. If all of us make an effort it could be awesome project. Hope my English could be understood properly .

Javi.

hey you seem motivated im happy to hear that, its always good to see new people ready to invest in this project
unity is compatible with javascript (a little different then the common javascript though) boo and c# so if you know anything about these that would be very helpfull il pm you a page with loads of premade scripts for unity so you have a basic idea of what it it uses

Have him contact Yazgoo. Yazgoo is actively building the extractor now.

[Panda_rapist]

good idea, by the way could you ask yagzoo if its possible that he can make a topic for all the updates that would be great

[dotsona]

I sent him some messages on MSN, hopefully he will post an update soon

[Panda_rapist]

thanks , so what is this program capable of so far?

[dotsona]

We have had some success in the past with extracting props (full models with textures) if you look at some old posts you will find some of the models that we extracted. You can also extract some faces, buildings and characters, but right now it is a hit or miss. More models don't work than do. But Yazgoo is aware of the issues and it has to do with a bug that relates to the z axis (I think) so hopefully it will be resolved. Yazgoo has come the closeset when it comes to a full extractor he has almost completely reversed engineered the mt5 file format. You can find more information on his website about it. http://abdessel.iiens.net/dreamcast/mt5/

yeah i remember watching the tutorial you put online sometime ago, unfortunatly the links to the models that where put on the dojo have mostly expired, the only things i managed to recover were that pack of shenmue textures and the whats shenmue textures

[dotsona]

I think Master Kyodai has most of the models from back then. Personally I need to get back into the mod scene, I have been pretty much cheer leading for yazgoo lately haha. I am going to start back up and work on extracting models. I actually created a website that contained a giant list of models that need to be extracted and rigged. I am thinking about launching the site since it seems there is alot more interest in shenmue modding these days.

[Panda_rapist]

haha glad to hear that, yeah that sounds great, hopefully seeing activity more people will come back to the shenmue modding community , i have just finished the test level il post some pictures soon to update this thread a bit

Hey!, Unity3d seems so easy and powerful,now I'm trying to put custom assets with cameras, animations...(it's a very cool way to program cinematics in game scenes and things like QTE). GboyKing, do you have the pro version in "trial" or free version?

[Panda_rapist]
