 This is an attempt to port maliwei's 3ds max script mod tool to Blender addon. Still rough in shape and has freeze blender a few times. i was able to replace Revelation Jiill's wetsuit with Rachael's. Download : v0.24 www.mediafire.com/download/1mbx1u54lkdjlt5/io_RER_RE6_mod_tool_v0-24.pylinkv0.23 www.mediafire.com/download/k3egwg20iwwem4r/io_RER_RE6_mod_tool_v0-23+.pylinkwww.mediafire.com/download/ua2ectk3x55l2qe/io_RER_RE6_mod_tool+.py linkChangeLog 0.24 - added "Smooth overlap vertex" option for export. It set overlapped vertices to the same normal to give smooth surface. 0.23 - fixed a missing scene property bug that causing mod import to fail 0.22 - first release. tested with Revelation Jill. Note: Blender 2.73 does not allow direct editing of vertex normal which make it very hard to remove hard edges in RE6 model. I include an option that average normal vector of overlapped vertices. This remove hard edges on all overlapped vertex, except for edges that marked as sharp. I am hoping next version of Blender support vertex normal edit. Credit: --RER mod tool v0.2 by maliwei777 --Edited By mariokart64n June 11, 2013 -> Added version switch for RER and Re6 --v0.21 - Edited by Sectus. Fixed material ID (was a byte, but should be a short) --v0.22 by aman - Converted to blender 2.71 add-on armature/bones weight/uv set up based on psk/psa import 2.2 add-on from Darknet, flufy3d, camg188 export set up based on Pointcache .pc2 export 1.1 add-on from Florian Meyer (tstscr)", Quick notes: - you need blender 2.71 or later - Use "File -> User preferences -> Install from file" and select io_RER_RE6_mod_tool.py to install - Find a new panel in 3D View tool shelf under "Misc" tab, contains "ImportMod, ExportToMod , Rename Selected" buttons - Use ImportMod to import pl?  .mod file, zoom-out in 3D View a few time to see the imported bones and meshes - Import new UV meshes using Blender import add-on. - Use "Weight paint" mode , Weight Tools -> Transfer Weight button to transfer bone weight from RE mesh to new mesh - Use weight paint tool to fine tune bone weight for new mesh. Remember to click "Limit Total" (to 4 bones) and "Normalize all" button in weight tool panel after your transfer weight, weight > 1.0 will crash mod tool. - To check how new mesh deformed with bone, switch 3D view to "object mode", select new mesh, give it a "Armature modifier" with object set to "ArmObject". Select armature "ArmObject" in 3D view, switch 3D view to "pose mode", select a bone and rotate it, new mesh should deform with it. hit "Esc" key to abort rotation. - Pick one mesh in original meshes to replace , copy mesh name to clipboad , delete mesh, name new UV mesh with deleted mesh name, change LODx in mesh name to 255 - select meshes you want to hide (i.e. jill's wetsuit). Use "rename selected" to change all of them to LOD 0. - use Shift-<right click> in 3d view to select all the LOD0 and the new UV mesh, make sure only object with name "Mesh_nnn..." is in the selection set. Click "ExportToMod" and select original pl? .mod file name. A .NewMOD file will be created with your modification. Use this to replace pl? .mod in your game archive. - Also need to replace .tex file with new textures. Look for a texture guide in this forum.   Rachael Foley's wetsuit replaced Jill's wetsuit

nice but i dont think anyone here uses blender XD
any chance we get this for 3d max mate ?
oh so you didnt change anything you just added a Blender support to this tool ?

I did however find some issues in the v0.21 max script and fix them for Blender. they may or may not relate the problem you mentioned. I don't have a working 3ds Max set up to test this. but for what it worth, here is the patched max script: linkchanges: line 214: if exponent = 255 - 127 + 15 then --> if exponent == 255 - 127 + 15 then ###need to be double "=" line 218, 238: Result = (bit.shift Sign 15) or 0x7C00 --> Result = bit.or ((bit.shift Sign 15) ( 0x7C00)) ### should be bitwise or , not logical or line 1257 : w1 = 254 --> w1 = 1.0 ### weight must be between 0.0 to 1.0 , this bugs export invalid bone weight.

My main program of choice is Blender, so this, for me, is soooo useful.
I'm not necessarily requesting it, but do you plan to port the MaxScript for RE5 for Blender, too?
I haven't done extensive testing with this addon, yet. But from what I've tried, it seems to work pretty well.
I have noticed, with RE6, (I assume this is the cause) it doesn't maintain the groups for the hands. So, when I exported the hands back into the mod file, the hands disappeared ingame. Or at least, that's what happened when I reimported Jake Monitor.

I did a simple test by import pl0100.mod (HelenaUSA) , select all hands and export mod file. This new mod file contains updated hand meshes with groups. Hands did show up in game. I am not thinking of porting RE5 mod tool to blender right now, may do it after this script is done.

I just tried exporting the same model. Jake Monitor, no changes made to the model, just a straight export.
The hands still disappeared in the game. If I had to guess, I think it depends on the model.
I'll just have to use a different character model for what I'm trying to do. But other than that, it seems to work fine enough.
So far, that's the only problem I've come across. And it might only happen to certain models.
I'll give it a try with a few other models.

And it might only happen to certain models. I'll give it a try with a few other models. I found problem in exported RE6 models including Jake Monitor. I found hard edge seams on the body meshes. It seems character body contains several disjointed meshes and blender does not generate smooth vertex normals across the disjointed meshes. I tried select all the vertices and hit "calculate normal', that flip some of face normal inside and part of the body turn invisible. I also tried "Remove Doubles", that combines overlap vertices and gives me one smooth mesh but create strange texture artifacts along the old seams. I am still looking for a fix.

@ Sherry'sHorrorStory. It is possible to port Mod Tool to Milkshape. Unlikely done by me as I cannot spare time to learn and support another 3D editor.
@ nickru58 Blender mod tool does more or less the same thing as the Max Mod Tool. If Max Mod tool can import weapon, Blender should also work. Just try it and see.
@ tomas25 Thanks for testing this Blender mod tool. For v0.24 , I hack together a vertex smoothing option to remove hard edge in meshes. Without normal editing in Blender I cannot see we can have good lighting for exported mesh. There may be a ugly way to indirectly affect how Blender generate normal for vertices on boundary faces, like those on the neck opening of body mesh (by extruding a ring of faces around the hole and use new face orientation to control normal direction). I don't see that is a practical solution and did not try it.

aman, any chances that you will make RE5 script for Maya 2015? Maya and 3ds Max have some bridge feature to send projects between them, but it's useless. One of the problems is that Maya doesn't support some characters in the object names. I know nothing about scripting so I can't do it myself.

.mod file, zoom-out in 3D View a few time to see the imported bones and meshes
