BMD0 Tool Beta 0.5 - A NDS 3D Texture changer

[hackiosa]

Hello guys(or gays ),
I am hackiosa a 13 years old from Germany and I had an idea of an DS 3D Editor, and here you see I what I've done! I wrote a little Tool in Beta Verion with Visual Basic 2008!

Features:
- Loading & Saving Palette!(Hex) - will not work on any .bmd0 files there have do be done some fixes I think, but I am not sure
- Loading & Saving Texture Data!(Hex) Saving doesn't work complete!!!

What I want do do:
- Showing Texture and loading from Bitmap
-Perfect Saving Texture Data

I hope you will enjoy the first NDS 3d editor ever!

Download:
Look at attackments for Beta!

This is brillient! Now that we have an editor for editing textures on the 3D models on the 4th generation Pokémon games, we won't have to spend so much time hex editing all the textures.

However, we might not have a 3D model editor yet, but still... this will prove useful. I hope to see more improvements with this tool in the future.

Even so... I might try editing Platinum more. That is... if I get to be able to.

Were really on our way to a DS map editor now!

Anyway, to the point:
Are you sure this program is in a state fit to be released? At the moment, it seems like a stylized hex editor written entirely in German and in VB.NET. It doesn't really do anything that can't be done just as easily with a hex editor at the moment, and there are two things that jump out at me as saying "this project won't be completed", and that is:

1. Your username in your EXE filename - this goes in the version data or inside the program, and seeming to have little understanding of something as user-friendly as version data rings alarm bells for me.
   • Spaces in filename. Not a crime, but makes launching via batch rather ugly.
   • Using VB.NET, not taking advantage of a lot of the features given to you. For example, not opening files with the correct sharing permissions.
2. Your header editor also grabs some texture data too - it seems not to know what size to fetch.

But please, feel free to prove me wrong and complete this

Well he is 13 years old, so we've got to give him a chance to make this happen. Anyway, I hope this will improve, and let it be in english. Good luck!

Brilliant! First we got PG4Map for viewing the maps, then we had (or thought we had) DSMap (april fools joke) and now this! We really are on our way to getting a map editor!

[UltramasterBDX]

Siehst doch schon ganz gut aus ;>
Looks nice, try to improve it.

[Team Fail]

I'm looking forward to getting to the point (with this program) to:
A. Being able to open the games texture files, instead of having to work with images
B. Having it in English. I have no German skills.

Good job. We are getting even closer to a map editor with each and every passing day!

If you need it, I can send you a sample of one of the texture files I extracted from a Pokemon Pearl rom, if you want to try it.

[knizz]

Did I understand correctly? This is a texure-editor not a model-editor?

Hab ich das richtig verstanden? Das Programm bearbeitet Texturen und nicht Modelle?
"hier wird später mal die textur angezeigt" -> genial :|

[hackiosa]

so guys, i was a long time off :sorry:!
But i will try to improve this. for the first i will do a english trans.
trans. comes in like 5 minutes!

-->Trans. close Completed!

@Team Fail: No thanks! But I search for a BMD0 Structur Reference, so I don't have it all the Structurs on my own.

[hackiosa]

Hey you all! I translated in english!
Here you have it! And now I haveto improve it!

[hackiosa]

hmm.... okay i found out, that the texture seems to be 4BPP(4 Bits Per Pixel)

ok guys. i am at the points, where i know how i could extract textures! but there's a little problem with vb.net SetPixel does not work for me! so i will re do this project in vb6! sorry, but it won't took long do re do this! and redoing this makes it better!
becuz i know much more about textures now!

[knizz]

There are more formats that just 4bpp. Look at the source-code of "nsbmd" for an example implementation.

[hackiosa]

Hey Guys! I had first succses showing textures! But to yet it has wrong Palette.
I attached a picture of it.

[Fire Blazer]

Well, it looks like some progress is being made. I wonder how much potential this thing has. :O

thanks!
i have a little update, its just some bug fixes

[humanguy2000]

How did you get that to happen? I can't do anything with it, because all I can do is open that hex editor thingy.

[hackiosa]

i didn't released that part yet because its very buggy to yet
but i think in some hours 0.5 to 2 i will release that!

[hackiosa]

so here i have a download again!
it already can show some textures.
to try would use the model files in fielddata/build_model.narc from pokemon dpp.

your hackiosa! pease digga! U will get a 3D Texture Editor!

[humanguy2000]

I wonder if it edits tiles like grass too.... Anyway, great job!

[hackiosa]

thanks! i hope you enjoy it!

hmm.. ok how do you like the current version?

[nielsnijhof]

thanks and cool that you like it!

ok guys i will do the edit function now!

[mewthree9000]

This doesn't exactly "edit" anything. Much less 3D models.... X_x

[posem]

hark at the kid, complaining it does naff all.
What does naff all is your moaning laddie, this thing is indeed a huge leap in the right direction for beginning to code 4th gen. I dinnah see you whippin up some awesome 3D model creator, give the guy some credit and less of ye whinin.
