xdaniel Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 And here I was told on the 10th (by means of someone else), quote: "do whatever you like, although posting it publically probably wouldn't be a good idea"... Well, I guess that only means the actual files... or it now does, anyway. Good luck with the textures, btw, I'm having a hard time trying to convert in the first place, figure out how textures and materials relate to each other, etc., etc. Got the texture coords out correctly, at least, which work alright with dummy textures... Also fixed the thread title. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Ryder Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 That is pretty cool Xdan, is this reading directly from a rom or is it reading from extracted files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdaniel Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I don't actually have the ROM itself, just all the files from its filesystem (some 450+ MB, same files Flotonic and cen have for all I know). In fact, I couldn't even do anything with the ROM due to its encryption and not being able to decrypt it - don't have any keys, nor do I even know how the encryption even works.

Airikita Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I hope whoever cracks it figures it out, I'm sure it will be good.. I'll be sticking to N64 OoT though, for reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareya Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Post edited by Shadow Fire. That aside: Watch the 3DS hacking scene. I'm pretty sure something is about to happen w/r/t encryption. At the VERY least, once they realize someone's got decrypted OoT 3DS files SOMEWHERE, they're going to kick into a frenzy.

Kargaroc Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 How did you even manage to extract the files from the ROM? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareya Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Supposedly, someone decrypted the ROM, and sent files to particular parties (via irc? cen included). That said, I'm done here. You won't see me unless something spectacular happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeth Ryder Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I just saw it as someone venting their frustration in a place they thought they could. But that's just me. There places for such thing such as IMs or even personal blog sites, however venting your frustration and posting links was causing more problems then just simple venting. Feel free to contact Shadowfire as he was the one who edited and removed the post and links if you have an issue. I do believe however the topic should shift back to what the thread is actually about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Okay. I mean, I'd love to get a hold of him for anything (chit-chat, or even important topics regarding the GCN), but that's proven to be a near-impossible task for me as of late. Anyways, okay, Back to the topic at hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyZ Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 This is awesome, I mean yeah, I'll be sticking to N64 OoT hacking, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to play anyone elses awesome 3DS OoT mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdaniel Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Drama aside, some progress for those unaware: (click for higher resolution, 1920x994) Texturing in general is still hit and miss: decoding of two particular formats isn't working 100%, material-to-texture relationships aren't fully understood (so the wrong textures get applied to a lot of geometry, ex. Kakariko looks awful), etc. That's not even mentioning all the other unknowns in the model format that aren't texture-related... but I guess I'll still post a build of the viewer in a few days, so that those who have the files can play around with it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airikita Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's a step in the right direction, at least now maps are viewable. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaith Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm liking the viewer so far man Interesting that the models appear to be using both vertex colour blending and normals based lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterBerri Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hey, guys! So, the TCRF page on OoT3D is up and running with some findings so far. Hacking notes and file listings for the game can be found in the notes page linked at the bottom of the article's info box at the top right of the page. There's still lots to be done, so anyone interested can observe the proceedings or participate at #zelda at irc.badnik.net. (TCRF's main channel is #tcrf on the same server.) Findings can also be discussed on the article's discussion page. Hope to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_smith_account Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 As usual, there is no end to what german engineering can do. Off topic: It's good to see our favorite lucky albatross is still with us. You going to help out on the project codenamed ZB2.... Please GB?

Three_Pendants Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wow. So OoT3D confirms some things about Zelda 64's development some 16 years later! The Wind and Ice Temples are confirmed with more than just a part in Ganon's Castle and a Medallion name, and that URA Zelda was Really the Master Quest, otherwise there would have been no reason to append DD to those files. Great findings! I can't wait to see what else the team locates. Thanks for bringing this to our attention GlitterBerri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean? o_O And how do you propose I contribute to your project? Wow. So OoT3D confirms some things about Zelda 64's development some 16 years later!

Great findings! I can't wait to see what else the team locates. Thanks for bringing this to our attention GlitterBerri! Yeah, isn't it interesting? I never guessed that we would get more insight about the original game by examining the remake! But, when you think about it, the 3D development team must have had access to the development files for OoT, and the simpler file structure makes them easier to examine. Pretty cool! One other minor thing I appreciated having official confirmation for was the name of Fado, whose name is found in her filenames. Hopefully, if they ever release a Majora's Mask remake, we'll be able to dig through the files and gain a further understanding of the game in a similar manner!

john_smith_account Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm an albatross? What do you mean? o_O And how do you propose I contribute to your project? Sorry, I didn't mean to derail the topic with an obscure sea bird refernce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albatross_(metaphor) As per wikipedia... ...In the poem, an albatross starts to follow a ship — being followed by an albatross was generally considered an omen of good luck.... Also, this: *WARNING* Link's Awakening spoiler ... I used an Albatross as a double refernce, both to a good luck omen, and Marin from Link's Awakening. In the 'hard' ending of Link's Awakening, Marin turns into a sea bird and flies away... TOO SAD! Lets remeber the good times... YAY! SUPER CUTE!!! Now, I bet you're sorry you asked. Now, as far as how you can help, that's up to you. I've got people of many talents working on every part of the project. If you're serious on want to to help, and you have enough time, let me know your talents and we'll fit you in somewhere. Benifits to joining include getting beta patches, and being kept up-to-date with the up coming news letter. But, it's up to you. Good to see you around, good luck on your own projects.
