fun with .pso

I updated the .pso documentation to include what I know now and known endian byte orders.

I figure I should post an update, since I haven't said much lately
I'm partway through writing the .lws converter. My script will parse through it and set the comparable parameters in 3DSMAX, automatically convert textures, and load/convert .pso files.

That will leave applying textures and animation that still need to be done.
It's getting there!

Hey Jasper,

Any chance of getting wild card names and resulting lwo files that don't have the original '.pso' in the name? I am converting multiple, multiple files to do some remixing of models, and it would help a lot.

you can set the output name with

as for wildcards your best off getting cygwin and using the tools that comes with that, then you get the unix command line and "find" etc, which handles searching for files and then running commands really nicely.

If there is hope it lies with the demo scene.
PSO and FTEX tools: pointless.net/eoc/

I'm new to the EoC modding world, and I'm a 3DS Max 7 user. I can translate .lwo to a .3ds, using 3D Exploration, but I'm having a hard time getting the PSO2LWO2 converter to work at all.

I've downloaded the PSO Tools ZIPfile, extracted them to a folder in my models directory, then tried dropping PSO files onto them, or entering PSO2LWO2.EXE HULL1.PSO in the command line, with the HULL1.PSO file in the same folder.

Is there a specific command-line syntax I should be using, or a directory structure for the .dlls? Or both?

The dll's need to be in the same directory as the .exe's (so just leave them where they are).

I wrote a tutorial on doing batch conversion of all the .pso files here:

pointless.net/eoc/cygtut/

That may help a bit.
