GMF2 Tools

Note

See here for documentation on how data is stored in the game files.

A Blender extension that allows Blender to import GMF2 files.

Requirements

• Blender version 4.5.3 or higher

Installation

• Download the extension version you want from the Releases tab on the right (don't unzip!)
• Open the Extensions tab in Blender (Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions)
• Click the small arrow in the top right of the tab
• Click 'Install from Disk'
• Select the .zip file
• The extension is installed!

Supported Games

Games that are currently supported by the extension are:

• No More Heroes
• No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

Other games that use the GMF2 model format might have support added in the future.

Known Issues

• Addon fails when attemping to import a model with an armature if another model with an armature was imported previously
• Addon crashes when importing textures without models (fixed in upcoming release)
• Vertex groups are very inaccurate
• Models with a 0x96 code will not have any vertices (e.x NMH1 sunglasses)
• Textures compressed using RGB5A3 or RGBA32 will never import
• Models with extremely large positional values will fail to import
• Certain models (usually stages/maps) appear with an invalid positional offset
• Some models will fail to import due to the addon reading an incorrect number of tristrips
• Normals are reversed in certain models (e.x. Parts of NMH1 Travis's hair)

If you have noticed an error that is not on this list, please report it!
