I've downloaded the Aqua tools library which specifically lists converting the flver files to fbx but all I can get it to do is spit out 2 JSON files and an xml file. No FBX. I have downloaded a separate tool that converts the flver file to SMD and I've been able to import said SMD file into Blender, but it's mangled all to hell. Wondering if anyone has some experience or tips on playing around with DSR models. Ty in advance!

soulsmodeltool sadly spat out the same xml and 2 json files. you can also use the functions of soulsmodeltool inside of aquamodeltool
white spire
I just drag and drop the .flver file onto souls.exe and it converts to .fbx

My experience is shown in this diagram. Blender breaks bones and weights, dsfbx mocks when importing. The lighting of the imported model is broken, I still can't fix it xd
This is imported boss room with your mod.
white spire
lol, 3ds breaks the lights, blender doesn't. In general, I exported and imported the model successfully.
pale jolt
it's so odd that I can't get the FBX to be generated at all. I'm dragging a flver file straight onto souls model tool and it refuses to do anything. super strange
I'm using the latest release of the aqua tools library so not sure if a specific version is ideal or not
white spire
yes, the latest version is apparently not for DS:R
It does not work
@native helm something is broken

I need more than that. Send sample files, tell me exactly how you're using them

For example, original file dsr. I drag the file to the shortcut of the old version of SoulsModelTool.exe, an fbx file is created in the folder. I drag the file to the new version shortcut, nothing happens.

Sorry I'm looking at it. Can you open the Aqua Model Tool with that and screenshot it? It has a build date on it
white spire
@native helm this?
native helm
yes, perfect, thanks
white spire
@pale jolt Use 20.07 version. Did you find the TBF button in FLVEReditor?) The last video is too beautiful.

this should work with the model you sent

the 20.07 version worked for me! ty! I'll try the new one too. and you mentioned the TBF button in flvereditor? I can't say I recall that tbh but my memory is bad and I work on too many mods at once haha

backface, as I understand it. Draws the back side of the model, which allows no light to pass through.
white spire
yes
pale jolt
may the old god and the new gods shine upon you, tysm haha
white spire
thx)
also, it's my imported model of boss room, I don't know what steam will say about it, but it should be a little better than the original or worse
white spire
@pale jolt These two models are Gwynevere's room without walls behind curtains, edited in blender
white spire
<@1143601101157957713> alright I did a fix for the larger overall issue
thank you, I'll test it tomorrow
white spire
<@1143601101157957713> alright I did a fix for the larger overall issue
all works fine, danke
white spire
@pale jolt v3; I left the boxes untouched, removed the back walls, divided the curtains into different meshes and rotated their normals, mappieces can be converted back and forth, edited and seem to work
pale jolt
Whoaaa this is amazing work! Tysm! Will take a look a bit later today
white spire

If possible, make the first room with the clerics in Anor Londo and the facade of the building lighter.
My models only change the light a little, I thought the effect would be stronger. And don’t forget to turn off steam, you might get banned, who knows)
pale jolt
haha yeah, I actually booted up DSR like 2 months ago and magically I had a warning about data fraud so who knows what it even came from. Kinda freeing tbh
pale jolt
amazing work here! correct light coming through!
white spire
amazing work here! correct light coming through!
This is still flvereditor's job. Blender changed the princess room, and the roof windows of the 3400 room, but 99% it is clone of the original model with original textures, and the windows are original.
white spire
amazing work here! correct light coming through!
Maybe it just broke the loading at a distance, but fixed the windows at the same time
white spire

I have 0 idea what you're trying to tell me here
other than mirroring changing in some way here
I don't entirely know what your goal is either
I thought the whole problem was this didn't go to fbx
white spire

Yes, in the new version the model has turned around. This broke the normals when exporting)
I just don't understand the point of the reversal.
I fixed the problem after export, so forget it.
native helm
Going by this, in the latest version within 3ds max, it looks correct
in the newest version that is
pictured in max are the mirrored and non mirrored versions and the mirrored version appears as we want (Fromsoft displays in a different coord space and we need to mirror to fix that)
we want it to display the same direction as in DSMS so that's correct
Recalculating the normals based on the faces gets what we expect too
I technically exported these two with aqua model tool, but it should be the same output
