Been trying to figure out how to rip models from this game (It's a PS4 game btw). After ripping the .pkg file's contents, I found what I assume is the model files. They are in .JXM format, but I have no knowledge of any tools that can open them.

#

here's a sample file

📎 mup_ch_mothership.jxm

#

btw the textures are in a different file format (.GNF). I can open them already.

Perhaps @potent kiln can help? (Sry if the pings are getting annoying)

But also if you wanna figure out how to rip them and tell me that would be great.

the magic "JXMD" implies the file is a direct X model (which apparently has the extension .x normally) but none of the importers i could find can load that file 🤔

#

on the other hand im not experienced in ps4 ripping (i dont even have a ps4 😭 ) so im not sure if it actually is a direct X file or if its a proprietary ps4 format

#

perhaps there are some ps4 modding/ripping discords that would have more info on that

Also found the source where he found the JXMD info: https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/filetypes

Filetypes Recognized in Max - Max 7 Documentation

Several Max objects such as folder, umenu, and opendialog can use the four-character Max filetype to specify what kind of file(s) are used. Here is a listing of

i dont know about automation but the format doesnt look too bad from a very lazy glance. There is probably a table that states where the start and stop of each data chunk is for the faces and what not

#

for the verts i see a table that has the starting offset, vert count, total size, stride size, and some data i dont know yet( maybe material index). Not sure how the face data works yet. I also dont have a pointer to any the data starts but there do seem to be sub headers that stand out

#

VBDT is at the start that is holding this vert definition table and VBBD being at the start of the verted data itself

#

IBBD seems to start the face data

#

GEOM has something to do with the face groupings

#

i see what looks like a vert count, and size value for the face. maybe the vert chunk index

That almost looks like a ship part to me!

#

I also have an Astro Bot "model" file here too

Also forgot that there's normal maps on my hard drive for that model too

It is

Also to my knowledge, GMF files are the textures, can be opened with a piece of software used for Atlus games like Persona 5.

#

But I have no clue how the hell Astro's face works texture wise, so I'm very curious.

#

Only thing I can think of is that they're emissive spritesheet textures.

Also this is from long ago when someone else used model researcher to figure it out. Seems to be the main ship part.

Whoa, sweet! Can you replicate these settings? I want to try it out myself!

Was not done by me and they didn't really give any info so can't tell you :(

Ay sup, ive been kind of interested in astro bot recently so i wanted to follow this forum

trail acorn Oct 24, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

i havent been toying with it recently due to toying with conker still. the format isnt too bad to poke around at least. Manually finding face and vert data is easy enough. Automating it and getting the rigging is another
