would you happen to know where I can find more information on extracting like you described redxavier?

Grab red tools on the witcher nexus and then follow the instructions here -> http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Extracting_The_Witcher_2_files. All of the files you'll want are in the pack0.dzip.
It's fairly easy but I've had no luck opening the model I want in blender, which is unfortunate because l0rdofwar said he port it for me easier if I could convert it to 3ds or obj.

May I ask which model that is?

The silver witcher's sword I mentioned earlier in the thread. Seems I can't open any of the weapon models I've tried so far but I managed to open the nilfgaardian boots file.
Ugh can't load the scoia' tael bow model either. This is disappointing.

Should extract the actually alive-seeming npcs and replace the androids of skyrim too. Such a well done game, TW2.
But I guess a lot of that comes down to animations and dialogue.

I've extracted the files, but they are still w2ent files, and I cannot open them in blender... What did I do wrong/miss?

You'll need the blender script to open the w2ent files and get at the meshes although it apparently doesn't work for many of them. All the clothing meshes I've tried seem to work fine but no weapons.
Just do a google search and it won't be hard to find. You'll also need blender 2.49b and python 2.6.5.

okay so I've got blender 2.49b and the script... but how do I make it use the script?

Just double click it and it should open; if it asks what to open it with browse to the blender.exe which should be in "C:\Program Files x86\Blender Foundation\Blender\", then when it opens press alt+p or right click and select execute script.
Then you have to select the folder with the w2ent file you want in the first box, and the top level folder that contains all your extracted data in the second one.
Then click "show w2ent files" or whatever it says and it'll give you a list of w2ent files that it can find in your selected folder.
Then click the one you want and click load, and then click the w2mesh you want to open and click load.
Depending on whether it can load the mesh or not it'll either load it or give some error and throw you back to the script. Sorry if I missed anything I'm at a relatives PC so I don't have access to it but I believe that it's all correct.

woops quoted isntead of editing my bad ignore plz

So I put the script in the script section and there still was no option for w2ent. I'm extremely new to this so thank you for your help and I'm sure this is just because I have no clue what I'm doing

As I said just double click the .blend file and follow the rest of the instructions. It doesn't even have to be in the scripts section.

Too bad UbiSoft are a bunch of [Expletive Deleted] rotten [Expletive Deleted] Greedy [Expletive Deleted] Rat-[Expletive Deleted]-[Expletive Deleted] rancid curs!


Yeah, it seems that Eastern/Northern Europeans are starting another RPG Renaissance....I just hope The stalker devs don't go http://www.gamefront.com/gsc-may-or-may-not-be-using-always-on-drm-for-stalker-2/ as [Expletive Deleted] Ubisoft have...

I realized ubisoft was moneygrubbing after AC2 came out a year after the beautiful piece of art that was AC1, in AC1 the targets had depth, and often found themselves believing they were doing right by some twisted morality. In AC2 its just "I am Enigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."

But back on topic I somehow missed the (dot) in .blend

I've extracted a fair amount of the models already, TheXenophobe. So let me know if you want anything in particular. Whilst it's true that some models don't import well, I've found that the vast majority are fine. The difficulty is actually finding the models in the first place, the file structure is pretty horrible (armour in the weapons folder, for instance).

The problem with the weapons I've so far imported and exported to 3ds/obj is actually that the textures on the blades appear to be pretty low rez. Which is surprising given the outstanding quality of the textures for everything else. I guess they figured that you'd never see the blades up close in 3rd person, so why waste the resources.

Which weapons have you exported? I haven't found a single one that worked for me :\
If they work for you mind doing one for me? It called silver_37_high_quality_witcher.w2ent in "items\weapons\geralt_swords\silver_swords\sword_type_1"

The two I'm wanting terribly are Raven's Armor (any) and Tir Na Lia models. also, ,ake sure to send .obj's of anything you have done to L0rdofWar as he'll import them into skyrim. Unless you are going to import them yourself

I'm sure that there is a texture artist who would love to re-do those textures. (I am actually aware of the low-rezness of the textures, me and a buddy found it quite a head scratcher when we walked colse to a wall with the weapons out, and it was just one solid color. we never did it again and the illusion of total quality remained intact)

Oh hell yes, that means anyone could port over Geralt's starter clothes from that?

You mean like this? http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5588

Here's a link to all of Geralt's swords (well, nearly all of the models, a fair few are identical) with all the textures.

Have fun!

Thanks man that's awesome!

Hey mods if you would be so kind as to change the title to Witcher armor in skyrim? I mean if thats alright.

Anyways... Since you seem to be pro at making these into usable meshes, would you be willing to try to get his straps and pouches (and maybe sheathes?) out as well?

Yeah, I can give it a go. They'll be separate meshes though, so you'll need to do some wizardry in Blender/3dMax and Nifskope to attach them to your main armour mesh, and you would have to do this for each armour type (Geralt only wears about 3-5 different armour models).

Scabbards shouldn't be a problem (and there are only a few of them anyway).

The bad news, for those that were hoping for it, is that Iorveth's bow doesn't seem to import into Blender at all.

I kind of suspected as much. shouldn't be too hard to model though, give an elven bow a wooden texture, make it have that awesome double curve by copying the regular ends... I can't imagine it being anymore difficult to make then a JaySuS sword. (As in it's probably going to be freaking difficult)

dudes you're awesome! 10x a lot
