Dungeon Keeper 2 - Convert KMF Meshes to OBJ

[simonschreibt]

Hi Friends.

Currently i try to write a small article for my blog (simonschreibt.blogspot.de) about DK2 but i'm stuck with my investigations.

You can extract the mesh files (.KMF) of Dungeon Keeper 2 with a mod tool but I need an importer for 3Ds Max or Blender or a converter which can convert KMF to OBJ. I already searched the web and found nothing. The only piece of code i got was this:

https://bitbucket.org/trass3r/gameto...s/d8e318ea78f4

I'm not sure what it is doing exactly but i hope it can convert KMF to OBJ. I tried to contact Trass3r who wrote the code but didn't get any response. So if you know something, have tools, understand the code, are a DK2 developer or just feel inspirited to investigate the KMF files - feel free to help me.

The biggest problem is getting the files back into the game. Nobody figurd that out yet.

[simonschreibt]

No problem for me. I just want to investigat the geometry. So, do you know how to convert KMF into a readable format like OBJ?

[Hapuga]

No idea.

[Trass3r]

It's a complex format.

local int i;

struct {
    char magic[4];
    int size; // size of file incl. header
    int version; // = 17
} KMSH;

struct {
    char Signatur[4];
    int size;
    int Format; // 1 = Mesh, 2 = Anim (?)
    int uk; // = 1
} HEAD;

struct Texture {
    string name;
};

struct MAT2 {
    char Signatur[4];
    int size;
    string uk; // internal name?
    int NumTextures;
    Texture Texturenames[NumTextures]<optimize=false>;
    int uk1;
    int uk2;
    int uk3;
    string uk4;
};

struct {
    char Signatur[4];
    int size;
    int NumMat;
    MAT2 Materials[NumMat]<optimize=false>;
} MATL;

struct Mesh {
    char MeshSig[4];
    int size; // inkl. Signatur
    struct {
        char head[4];
        int size;
        string meshname;
        int NumGroups;    // number of groups in SPRS
        int NumVerts;    // total number of vertices defined in GEOM
        float uk1; // bounding area?
        float uk2;
        float uk3;
        float uk4;
        int NumLOD;    // number of total LOD entries
    } Header;
    struct Ctrl {    // NumCTRL only non-zero in ANIM files
        char Signatur[4];
        int size;
        int NumCTRL;
        int uk[NumCTRL*2];
    } ctrl;

    typedef struct {    // only used in ANIM files
        char Signatur[4];
        int size;
        float x,y,z;
    } POLY;

    typedef struct {
        short index;    // index of the vertex in GEOM
        int uk;        // flag?
        float nX;    // the vertex normal
        float nY;
        float nZ;
    } VertEx;    // Extra vertex data with normals

    struct Model {
        char Signatur[4];
        int size;
        for (i=0; i<Header.NumGroups; i++)
        {
            struct {
                char Signatur[4];
                int size;
                int LODEntries[Header.NumLOD]; // one entry for each LOD
                int NumVertsEx; // number of entries in the extended vertex list
                int uk;
            } SPHD;
        }

        for (i=0; i<Header.NumGroups; i++)
        {
            struct
            {
                char Signatur[4];
                int size;
                int uk;
                local int j;
                for (j=0; j<Header.NumLOD; j++)
                {
                    struct {
                        struct {
                            ubyte x,y,z; // indices for the extended vertex list
                        } LODVertIndices[SPHD[i].LODEntries[j]];
                    } LODEntries;
                }

                VertEx VertsEx[SPHD[i].NumVertsEx]; // extended vertex list
            } Groups;
        }
    } model;

    typedef struct {    // a vertex definition
        float x;
        float y;
        float z;
    } Vec3f;

    struct GEOM {
        char Signatur[4];
        int size;
        Vec3f vertices[Header.NumVerts];
    } geom;
   } mesh;

Thx Trass3r. I finally got it and here's the resulting article:

Do you know where I could download the WAD tool from? On keeper.lubie it only says to search the internet, and so far I haven't found anything useful, only dead links.

[simonschreibt]

Here you go. But please check the EXE with virustotal.com or something other before you execute it.

[Keeper Decagon]

Thanks for the link.

I already read the article of this link:
http://simonschreibt.blogspot.de/201...r-2-walls.html
It may work for some people, but not for me, when I try do do it follow the guide, I encounter with error after error, could anyone just upload the obj format models?
