Vertex offset



Face offset



UV offset



This is the first time I have used the Tri-Strip. Not too sure what it does but seems to work
If anyone could write a simple script or drop and drag .exe for these files I would appreciate it.

Perseverance pays off.
He was located in the one of the JCAN_Body.xng file. Its the only one thats 558KB of Mcqueen.

This is a car that can talk and jump.
However, it is still not sure how the texture works, maybe you should provide a complete archive file.

All i have is the .XNG's .P3G's and the texture maps. There was other data like .ini files and .txt files but i didnt think they were useful. I sent you a dm of the tools I used and the game download. But I dont have any of the original content anymore.

Interesting, did you load of one the .got/wot animation files for McQ? would it be possible to open these up in Blender or 3ds Max? because this could be useful for me since i am modding the games and i would like to edit models or create new animations, we develop a mod that's goal is to combine three games released by THQ into one game using the second game (Cars Mater-National) as a base for a mod we call Hi-Octane, if you're willing to help us or something i may give you an invatation link to our discord server
also you're using the rainbow_studios.bms script to unpack Race-O-Rama data correct?

I made a NOESIS plugin, supports models, bones, and skins.

*Edited*:Added color and uv2 support.


If you are interested, here is a 010 Hex Editor format template of the model file.

Thank you so much Allen. Finally after 3 years

@Code i used the cars_ror_p3r.bms script

Noesis does crash on some of these. Not too sure. I went ahead and packed all the files I do have for you if you need to do more test. Probably an unnecessary amount of files but I didn't know what all you needed. And seems not all meshes are the same.

Noesis seems to be crashing while trying to load characters that have Headlights and Breaklights just checked it a couple of times and each time i loaded characters with no headlights or breaklights it worked just fine and with headlights and breaklights Noesis seems to crash

Added support for models with headlights, brake lights, and colored buildings.

I think it would be perfect if the texture with the correct file name can be unpacked.

Thank you for the information, also one of our programmers is asking if you could release the source code of the script, we're trying to see if we could convert a .fbx file to .xng
there is also another model file format .gcg it's mainly used by the Wii version of these games, it's mostly a different version of .xng could you maybe look into these as well?

here is a sample file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bO_n-f ... sp=sharing

would there be anyway of contacting you anywhere else besides here? like Discord or something like that?

I also updated the 010 format template. I have posted the format, and I think sharing the format is important. If you understand the format, you can process the model accordingly.
I will take a look at the WII format when I have time. Generally, the native geometry of console games on different platforms will be different, and other data will remain roughly unchanged.

Alright, Thank you again for your help, waiting for any news

@Allen one of my programmers is asking if it would be possible for you to make a .FBX to .XNG script

Sorry, there are still some unknown things in this format, and I have no plans to write an exporter.

Thanks again for looking into it. They look great. I didn't know you were able to get the bones too. Amazing work.

@Allen I have been interested in modding Cars Mater-National for almost ten years now. I first started around 2012, but stopped after two years of very little progress. The only files that I was able to open and edit were the textures and some of the scripts. At the time, the 3d files (.xng) were completely inaccessible since the format is proprietary, but this was exactly what I was trying to edit. The possibilities that open up with importing/exporting models and animation are almost limitless. Having found this thread, I'm really excited to see such progress with reverse-engineering of the 3d models! Allen, you seem to be the only one who know how to program a file to import/export the models into 3ds Max or Blender. Is there any way you could finish programming the Noesis script to have a fully functioning program?
