I've been working on a GoldenEye 007 Related project for a long while now, and have had need access to the weapon models, for various reasons.

Recently, I've come across the GoldenEye Setup Editor, and it has exactly what I need, a very good program indeed... BUT, there is a problem. When trying to export Weapon Models to OBJ, the model's shape/geometry is correct, but there are major problems with Groups, and Materials. Groups are assigned to all the wrong polygons, and the materials seem to be set to the wrong groups as well. Muzzle Flash is the only thing that turns out correctly, and I end up with the muzzle flash texture all over the model.

Is there a Work-Around, or is this a bug that needs to be fixed for the next GE Setup Editor? If so, could the devs please look into it? That would be great, thanks.

You're quite right. It's fixed now in beta, if you do grab latest beta (run as admin), then run beta instead. I still see some weirdness with blue instead of red, I think it's because it can't handle the AA891301010A.bmp texture which was 1 x 1. It seems to work in the editor oddly though.

Also this texture needs fixing, not sure why it loads in editor but not in bmp programs:
B257E501010A.bmp

One final note:
The .obj format doesn't support vertice coloring, only on a triangle basis, so it's not as perfect as in-game.

Ok, that fixed part of the problem. Thanks.

I'm still having problems with the models being completely black when imported into modeling programs, they either correct themselves when I turn on fullbright lighting, or remain black until I flip the faces, or make them double-sided.

I use Milkshape 3D 1.8.4 most of the time, if that helps.

Mind if I make a request? Could a checkmark box be added next to the Export OBJ Button that sets it so it just creates the base materials in the model, without the colored shading, so there isn't a mass amount if different Materials to adjust. I don't need the colors like in the real game, because the engine I'm working with doesn't support material colors to begin with.

I added a button to export without colors if you want to regrab beta.

[StrikerMan780]

Excellent, thanks man, this all helps. These are the only problems left:


Some issues with groups I am assuming.


Texture trouble.. UV Map problem I'm guessing? I may be wrong. Look at the bit on the handle where the texture is puny and has lines in it, and the bits on the top and side of the gun where the texture is squished to the point there is a bunch of lines.

The bottom one looks like the same problem we get with room models when the UV coords exceed a 16-bit float:

I don't know why that would affect an exported model, though.

No u/v problem, it's a 1x1 texture which doesn't seem to be able to properly be read by any tool other than the editor. Try and replace it with a 1 x 1 of your choosing.

[StrikerMan780]

I'm speaking of the bottom pic, and in your pic, has the same problem. Look at the Klobb handle, Lower part of side, and Top.

Now, as far as that 1x1 problem, I don't believe bitmaps are treated well when they are that small by most programs. How about tiling it when exported to make it 2x2? Dunno if that will work, but it is worth a try.

Strange, you're right, u,vs are off on that. I don't know if that's me or Rare, but presumably it's me.

Problem with Duplicately named groups:

.mtl file looks clean to me. I think it's a problem with that modeller.

The groups are not named mXX. They are named primary - Part00, primary - Part04, etc

[StrikerMan780]

Never mind, something is wrong with the modeler in this case, my bad. I think I'll convert from OBJ to another format now, and try it from there.
