DeP3d
DeP3d Version 1.xx by Mikero
see readmegeneral and fixes
Without options, DeP3d simply inspects any p3d for errors.
With options, you can:
- extract the skeleton
- extract rvmats
- list NamedSelections
- convert from one p3d type to another
output is generally produced on screen
Syntax:
DeP3d [-options] Anyfile[.p3d] or AnyFolder or
Any List or "Comma,Separated,list"
options:
none list type of p3d(s) encountered
-P don't pause
-S list all named selections
-Es folder | nameof[.p3d] | <file.list> :
extract skeleton(s) to <model.cfg>
-Em
folder | nameof[.p3d] | <file.list> : extract rvmats to screen
-[B]nn nameof[.p3d] : convert p3d to type nn
nn must be hex
or decimal and all of remaining chars in this option string
-B40 will convert to arma1 p3d
-40B will fail with syntax error
-B make a backup
Generic Scanning options (all dos tools)
It is useful
to quickly scan a folder, series of folders, or a list of p3d's looking for
changes to the format.
one such example is introduction of a physx lod.
To that end, and in keeping with other pbo tools, dep3d accepts scan
syntax on the command line (-options are assumed)
- dep3d \some\folder\anywhere
folders are recursively scanned inspecting each p3d it encounters
- dep3d some.file
any file that is NOT a .p3d is taken to be a text scan list
This list file can be a permanently held test suite of 'favorite' p3d's and
this list can be
generated from something as simple as
dir/b somefolder >some.lst
- dep3d "comma,separated,list"
the net effect of a "comma,separated,list" is the same as specifying a file.list. Quotes are ONLY required when spaces exist in the file names or between commas.
In both cases (file.list or comma separated), these in
turn can be mixtures of specific files, folders and more scan lists.
Conversions
Dep3d is not intended to reverse
engineer odol p3d's back to mlods
If you are looking for cracking
tools, look elsewhere.
However
(among other things) DeP3d
will convert odol formats to other odol formats
The reasons for doing so is BI's
tools such as buldozer, oxygen and visitor are not always up to date with
respect to p3d's encountered in various engine patches.
This part of dep3d is intended to
downgrade these p3d's into something usable for above tools. Whether they are
subsequently usable 'as is' in a derived pbo is not relevant to being placed IN
an island, or looked at IN buldozer.
Separately, dep3d conversion
will fully convert OFP formatted p3ds (both odol and mlod) to Arma and
vice versa.
The following is a list of
