FIFA 11 (PC) file formats resarch - RenderWare 4.5 assets

There are many unknown values that I don't know yet, but I will try to understand it little bit every day

I don't know anything about bone matrices.
Vertex 0x20005:

Code:

Data before 0xFFFF0000 is same all vertices.

/00/00/00/01 /00/00/00/01 /00/00/00/00 /00/00/00/00 /00/00/00/00 /FF/FF/00/00
Unsigned int // Unknown. The value increases to the next vertex for example in first vertex 0xB, 2nd 0x13, 3th 0x1B…
Unsigned short // always 0x1000
Unsigned short // vertex buffer size + 2
Unsigned short // vertex block size
Unsigned short // unknown
Unsigned int // vertex count
Unsigned int // reference to vertex descriptor section part 0x20004

Face 0x20007 :

Code:

Data before 0xFFFF0000 is same all faces.

/20/00/00/02 /00/00/00/01 /00/00/00/00 /00/00/00/00 /00/00/00/00 /FF/FF/00/00
Unsigned int // reference to face buffer section part  0x10031
Unsigned int // face buffer size
Unsigned int // face count

Vertex descriptor 0x20004:

Code:

Unsigned int64 // Unknown.
Unsigned byte // Vertex elements count
Unsigned byte // Vertex block size
0xA to 0xF // unknown
For i = 0; i < Vertex elements count  i++
    Unsigned short // Stream
    Unsigned short // Offset in vertex block
    Unsigned int // Type
    Unsigned byte // Method
    Unsigned byte // Usage
    Unsigned byte // UsageIndex

Great, thank u
I think bonematrices at fifa 11 are 3x4 matrices, newer fifas use 4x4 maybe
Anyway the data seems different

I get some info of sections from the spore game rw4,
It s mostly a different format of the sections but it may give some answers

I modified my Noesis scripts (RX2/RX3) to support vertex colors and 2nd uv's for ambient textures. I think game uses Vertex colors and ambient lightmaps for lightning. NHL script support all rx2 for Xbox 360 version of FIFA 08/FIFA 09 also. There are no dec3n packed normals in Noesis api so the script doesn't support normals. Im not programming expert so backward converter is too hard for me. I have tried to extract meshes with rw4 blender plugin, but packed normals and vertex colors isn't same type in rw4.
NHL Vertex color lightning example:IMG

i found here some info how to unpack dec3n/udec3 to 3 floats (example for normals),
if it may be usefull :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8935419/how-do-i-unpack-dec3n-udec3-format

i had questions about the vertexformats:
* How to read BlendIndices (DeclarationUsage 2), wich are UBYTE4:
if i convert from newer fifas i need to read & do endian swap correctly, so i try :
read as 4 bytes (not sure if this is correct, or i should read as a 1 float)

Code:

Me.Indices = r.ReadBytes(4)

* How to read BlendWeight (DeclarationUsage 1), wich are UBYTE4N:
if i convert from newer fifas i need to read & do endian swap correctly, so i try :
read as 1 float

tokke001 · Jun 10, 2020

so,
i did a bit of a test :
with updating a fifa 11 head model file, from a newer fifa

after adding the bones data from the newer fifa,
i get this error:

i updated :
* vertex/indexdatas
* rx3section 3751472158 (AnimationSkin) ---> RWsection &H70003 (AnimationSkin)
* rx3section 255353250 (BoneRemap) updated correctly

only the head model file was updated,
but the whole player got disformed

i think i need to update the skeleton,
because the boneindexes changed :
for example for eyes,
at the vertex data: the indice changed from 51 to 147

for fifa 11,
i notice there s a renderware section &H70002 (SKELETON) in each head model file,
i ll try update this section with data from the (fifa 20) skeleton.rx3 file
https://github.com/emd4600/SporeMod...6e98/src/sporemodder/file/rw4/RWSkeleton.java

but i need a bit help,
according to sporedata there should be 3 sections (i think) :
1. pBoneNames
2. pBoneFlags
3. pBoneParents

but i m not sure what format the first 2 sections are
(section 1 dont look like names)
the 3th section looks similar to the data from (fifa 20) skeleton.rx3

part1 (pBoneNames?) :

part2 (pBoneFlags?) :

part3 (pBoneParents?) :

I ll post some more FIFA 11 RW4 sections :
next sections are needed for model animations (head, hair, body, shoes, gloves, ....)

H070002 : SKELETON
--> same as at spore game : Link

Code:

Uint OffsetBoneFlags
Uint OffsetBoneParents
Uint OffsetBoneNames
Uint NumBones
Uint SkeletonID
Uint NumBones   'bone count again

Hash BoneNames(NumBones)  'fnv132 hashed names for each bone

Uint BoneFlags(NumBones)      'flags for each bone

Uint BoneParent(NumBones)      'parents for each bone

H070003 : ANIMATIONSKIN
contains matrices for all skeleton bones
--> Near similar to Spore game : Link

Code:

Uint Offset   'offset to BoneMatrices
Uint NumBones
Uint Unknown_1  'usually 0 (padding?)
Uint Unknown_2  'usually 0 (padding?)

Matrix4x4 matrices(NumBones)   'skin-to-bone matrix, for each bone

H07000F : SKINMATRIXBUFFER
contains matrices for all skeleton bones,
matrices are usually 0 and 1 values :
[1,0,0,0
0,1,0,0
0,0,1,0]
--> Near similar to Spore game : Link

Code:

Uint Offset   'offset to BoneMatrices
Uint NumBones
Uint Unknown_1  'usually 0 (padding?)
Uint Unknown_2  'usually 0 (padding?)

Matrix3x4 matrices(NumBones)   'skin-to-bone matrix, for each bone

BoneRemap
this is at fifa 11 present at the rx3 section of the file (RX3_SECTION_BONE_REMAP = 255353250),
and same format to later fifa games
--> see Dmitri infos (BoneRemap) : Link

tokke001 · Oct 11, 2020

for who wants to readout FIFA 11 kit-files,
section 00 EC 00 03 is used for kit position settings (hotspot)

HEC0003 : HOTSPOT
section contains positions for placing special things on the kit - numbers, crest etc.

Rich (BB code):

Byte Unknown_1
Byte NumAreas   'number of areas
Byte Unknown_2
Byte Unknown_3

'infos
For i = 0 To NumAreas - 1
    Uint AreaData(i).PointerOffsetAreaName     'offset to (*1)
    Byte AreaData(i).NumHotSpots         'number of hot-spots in area
    Byte AreaData(i).Unknown(3)
    Uint AreaData(i).PointerOffsetHotSpotNames     'offset to (*2)
    Uint AreaData(i).PointerHotspotRectangles    'offset to (*3)
Next i

'offsets to names
For i = 0 To NumAreas - 1
    Uint AreaData(i).OffsetAreaName        '(*1)      'offset to (*4)

    For h = 0 To Me.AreaData(i).NumHotSpots - 1    '(*2)
          Uint AreaData(i).HotSpots(h).OffsetHotSpotName        'offset to (*5)
    Next h
Next i

'names
For i = 0 To NumAreas - 1
     String AreaData(i).AreaName    '(*4)     'null-terminated string
     For h = 0 To AreaData(i).NumHotSpots - 1
           String AreaData(i).HotSpots(h).HotSpotName    '(*5)     'hot-spot name, null-terminated string
     Next h
Next i

'padding
Byte Padding(10)  
           
'HotspotRectangles
For i = 0 To NumAreas - 1
       (*3)
       For h = 0 To Me.AreaData(i).NumHotSpots - 1
              Float(4) AreaData(i).HotSpots(h).HotspotRectangle
       Next h         
Next i

* Note:
"PointerOffsetAreaName" is actually = offset to offset of the AreaName

Skeletons - FIFA 11 pc/ps3

FIFA 11 pc & ps3 both use the same (RW4)-rx3 files,
but the skeletons at both games are different

the Skeleton (H070002) is present in each rx3 file (with animations)
the bone-names are hashed (fnv132 hash format), but i figured out some names wich were the same as newer games

i uploaded an excel sheet with the bone-names i know (of pc & ps3),
maybe there are ways to figure out more about the (still) unknown bones

RW4 Sections

i ll share here,
from my .dll for reading/writing rx2/rx3 files:
my code for All used RW4 sections (all stadium sections, ...) by FIFA 11 or older rx2 games

for who s interested,
it will give an idea on the layouts of the different RW4 sections

i identify & mapped all sections:
* all offsets are found (i think)
* some values are named "unknown":
because not all values are guessed what they are used for
however they are identified as floats/integers/ ...

the original spore script dont work on fifa 11 files,
i think the files are still too different

i know there s also the old "Cyberface converters",
those program(s) export the vertex data from rx3, allow them to inport into blender (scipt included), and import into rx3 again
the big minor is:
it 'only' allows to edit vertexes, not add or remove any,
also there are some bugs (only the format for head files are included), hair editing or other files may not work
https://www.moddingway.com/file/5977.html
https://www.moddingway.com/file/9801.html

i tried get some more info about vertexes,
maybe u can help me with more info about vertexes:
i notice a vertex format is same (FIFA 11 vs newer fifa),
but fifa 11 uses a big-endian format, new fifas little-endian (like u say, the arena-fileheader value shows this also)
the reason maybe we cant just copy the vertex data from fifa 16 to fifa 11 (needs formatting?)

in a rx3 file,
when a vertexsize is 32bits,
it got these values (in this order) :
X -value
Y-value
Z-value
Unknown(0)
Unknown(1)
Unknown(2)
Unknown(3)
U-value
V-value
Unknown(4)
Unknown(5)
Unknown
Unknown(7)

my question is,
if u know more about this :
i liked to know what these 8 Unknown values may be
also i m not sure about the format of those unknown (may change between 10^-40 to 10^40)
but the uknown values seems important ingame (they cant be 0)

Hi tokke, sorry to bring this old thread, but i tried to read a head file and this value mapping didnt worked for me on the UV part

from your CFF export i get this

-2,783588 162,9115 6,944467 0,1707764 0,8706055

my export

v -2.540448 163.009705 7.638587
vt 0.000000 0.000000

the input hex values are

C0 32 26 4E 43 22 E9 56 40 DE 39 13 0D 85 9D 25
2A A5 5B 59 31 77 3A F7 38 38 38 38 00 00 00 FF

am i missing something? im reading all as float numbers

xyz, unknown, uv, unknown, pad/aligment

thank you in advice!

The vertex format can vary on what model u load

* positions (XYZ)
can be 3 (32bit) floats (xyz)
Can be 4 (16bit) half-floats (xyzw)

* texture coordinates (UV)
always 2 (16bit) half-floats !

U can check the source code of my dll for reading/writing vertices at rx3 files here:

-> code for reading/writing vertex

thanks a lot, by half-float you mean read as int16 then divide by 0x8000? i never seen this type before
