ringu61 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Can someone here who has experience with NFSH Tool tell me how to compress model.big file to a QFS compression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I don't think this has anything to do with nfsh tool. You don't compress it with nsfshtool I strongly believe. I've never heard of that method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big O Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Actually NFSHTool is used to compress to .QFS format. NFSHTool is used to decompress and compress the .fsh files. When editing the index file in the folder of the decompressed .fsh files (ex: cram32) there should be a line that is just "FSH" at the top. Just change that to "QFS" and save then double click the index file to recompress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to extract those .FSH files out of the model.big right?Wat tool should I use to decompress and extract .fsh files out of model.big? After that right click on .fsh files and open with NFSHtool.exe then wat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you do this, right-click on the .fsh file and open w/nfshtool - this will create a folder w/many bmps and an index.fsh file. Right-click on the index.fsh file and open w/Notepad. The 3rd line will say "FSH" - change this to "QFS", close Notepad and say yes to save. Then right-click on index.fsh file again but this time open w/nfshtool - this will automatically compress the .fsh file you extracted with QFS compression. (you can delete the folder nfshtool created after you're done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringu61 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 somehow after I associate .fsh file to open with nfshtool.exe then double clickit, it gaves me unsuccessful termination..... Don't worry I figured out wat's wrong anyway thanx BIGBULLY are there anyway that I can compress every .fsh to OFS format at once? can any .fsh files to be compressed to QFS format or only ones that starts with c. For example c010.fsh. Are every .fsh in model.big texture files or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example c010.fsh. Are every .fsh in model.big texture files or If you know how to create a batch file for it, I think you should be able to compress them all at once, but I am not positive of this. I believe any .fsh file can be compressed using the QFS format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I am using bigGUI to export .fsh files out now and compression them to OFS BTW when I use EAGrah how come I can't select all so I can extract .fsh files at once. This is very annoying how I have to click each single .fsh files then press extract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very annoying how I have to click each single .fsh files then press extract. That is probably the one of only 2 advantages that biggui has over eagraph.exe. The other one being that in biggui you can view how many files you have in the .big file withouht having to add anything to the file. As opposed to eagraph that in order to see how many files you have, you have to be adding a file to it. In every other aspect eagraph is much better (including being able to actually view the files without have to extract them first) However this is why you lose out in that it is now harder to extract. (it's a tradeoff I guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringu61 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Ok I have compressed .fsh files to QFS format. Now wat do I do to put into the original model.big file? Don't worry I figured it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringu61 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 after I import those QFS format overwrite the original .fsh files the total for model.big is little bit bigger is this normal? isn't QFS format supposed to compress even more?

ringu61 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 ok here is wat I did to model.big yesterday Experiment #1 I have compressed the face c###.fsh files to QFS Format I import QFS format c###.fsh files into model.big and played the game and it runs without trouble Experiment #2 Compressed the uniform f###.fsh files to OFS Format I import QFS format f###.fsh files into model.big and played the game and it runs without trouble Experiment #3 Compressed the uniform u###.fsh files to QFS Format I importe QFS format u###.fsh files to model.big and played the game and it runs with trouble. I can get into game menu but when I starts a game it fails to load, it stops loading at about half way. Question: Wat am I doing wrong? I did the same steps as I compress .fsh files to QFS format.

bigbully Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 just double-check what you did. all my uniforms I release (uxxx.fsh) are QFS compressed EDIT: I don't think it's really important to compress the fxxx.fsh files b/c they are very small anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using biggui to import your files, stop dong so. Use eagraph.exe instead. Also make sure that yuo leave your models.big in read only mode when not inserting anything into the file. I am actually wondering if your models.big file has not become corrupted. In order to check out if this is so, back up your current models.big & try using the default models.big in your game instead & see if the game loads up. If it does, it means your models.big is corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringu61 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Don't worry I figured out why.
