Hamhock666 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 So I know it's been a long time, but I have gotten around to figuring out how to extract most of the other models in the WDB. I had to overhaul the entire old extractor, but it is working well after a long time of hacking away at it. The project is still on github, so here is the link to the source project: https://github.com/LiamBrandt/WDBRipper But most people will probably just want the exe, in which case here is the link to the direct download: https://github.com/LiamBrandt/WDBRipper/releases/download/v0.2.0/wdb-ripper-v.0.2.0-binary.zip I found the hospital (medcenter) and the race track, and a bunch of the models that were previously missing. The tool extracts 451 out of the 592 models, whereas the old one only did around 300. I have a feeling that with some more effort the rest of the models could be figured out, but most of them seem unimportant, and a bunch don't even have model data in them, just weird numbers that I don't know what they do. emily, ProfessorBrickkeeper, le717 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Cupcake Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 There must be an magical wall past the edge of the island that makes everything behind it invisible. 2 minutes ago, Terrev said: Yeeeaaaah...

Lair Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 the racing minigame was a mistake edit: ok looking at some more pictures that were posted on discord, you could fit the entire damn island into the last tunnel with the krakken and the firetruck. like what the hell why is this thing so monsterous, or is the island just tiny emily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Cupcake Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Change the viewport shading to material mode and make sure there is a light in the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Well this just saved me a buttload of time. I thought I would have to recreate the police station, jail, and a bunch of other things. You've rescued me from a terrible fate. Thank you. Hamhock666 and Lair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bphillips09 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 @Hamhock666 YES!!! Thank you so much! You just gave me another reason to keep working on my LEGO Island Redux project. Could @Hamhock666 or @Xiron or anyone else with all the new extracted models possibly send them to me (preferably the high LOD ones)? If not, I could extract them again but I'm currently super disorganized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffrom what I remember I believe there was like a score cube and the panels with the playable characters on it, but I'm not sure if any other things extracted properly.

Hamhock666 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 6 minutes ago, Ajax said: in which folder are them? The score cube is in ./obj/ICUBE/sub1/SCORMAIN/ and its called scorcube0.obj The character panels are in ./obj/IMAIN/sub1/BIOFRAME/ named bio1, bio2, etc You might look in those folders for whatever you are looking for. If you can't find it, check the logs (lastlog.txt) and see if it actually extracted. If a bin file extracted with an error, it will have an "X" in the line instead of all "_" Extraction success example: ./bin/ACT1\sub1\ambul.bin ['_', '_', '_', '_', '_'] Extraction failure example: ./bin/ACT1\sub1\skeleton.bin ['_', '_', 'X', 'X', 'X'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 actually I'm looking for an hard thing: the models that you can see inside the three box in the same room of the cube, that models could be interesting because are like brick building. 1 minute ago, mumboking said: I think those are just videos, not actual 3D objects.

Hamhock666 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 8 minutes ago, Ajax said: Yes maybe They are definitely video or graphics of some sort, not 3d models, especially considering that the only models in the ICUBE folder are Cap.bin and scormain.bin.

Hamhock666 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) So it turns out that in addition to the random gifs extracted to the gif folder, there are also models that don't belong in the folder hierarchy, as in they are not indexed in the table at the beginning of the wdb. I have a feeling that this is because these models are loaded when the game first boots up and are always loaded into memory, whereas non-essential models are loaded based on what part of the game you are on. I think these models are the minifig models for the game. As with the other models, the extractor has had trouble extracting them, but there is definitely model data there. If I can get around to it this week I will try to update this tool with minifig support added. Here is a list of all the models not found in the wdb table that weren't extracted or even acknowledged before, in case anyone is interested: Edited January 3, 2022 by Slimy Slug Ben24x7, mumboking, Zed and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Cupcake Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Neat, so does this mean that we'd also get all the different face expressions of the minifigs? That'd be super if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These models have now been extracted, although the wdb ripper is not updated to reflect it. I wanted to get this implemented into the extractor, but I honestly haven't had time. Instead, I found a messy way to get the models out, so I have them for anyone that wants them. Although most people already have minifig models, these are the original ones. Make sure to read the README file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygssmf0lwwrey2c/extra_li_models.zip?dl=0 lol username and Ben24x7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
