oguna / blender-xfileimporter Goto Github PK

I know this is out of the scope of IMPORTER, but it is a request. Many of the xfiles out there have been converted to custom formats. dxops and MeshConvert cannot handle trees that have been added on their own.

Basically, even though the data is custom, it is definitely maintained in a format that can be structurally restored to something like json, just like the original data, such as Animation or Frame.

If you can refer to those data as text, it would be helpful to create or modify own importers. Could you please consider this?

Every time I try to open an X file I get this error:

Even changing to an earlier version doesn't help, I don't know what to do.

TL;DR Support the bzip (MSZip) format of the .x files

I was pleased to find this plugin, got my correct blender version installed, this configured, and shizam it worked on my game's ancient .x files. My game I inherited almost 15 years ago. As far as I know all my .x files were created in 3dsmax (2005) along with my bmp and dds files.

Moving on I went to view a few other .x files and ran into a wall. Some of the games late development .x files were bzip encoded. Apparently thats not bzip like we all know bzip, but 'MSZip Compressed Binary File'.

I read this on https://paulbourke.net/dataformats/directx/

I've looked at the header in the file and I dont see a spot where the typical PK starts and the zip starts... so I can't just hexedit my file, remove the xof..... bits, unzip, restore xof bits with bin and move on.

1. Any ideas how to extract the Zip data to a binary/text .x file?
2. Any chance you might natively support reading this format?

i installed this addon but when ever i import .x direct x file it shows some paython errors
