Do we have a tutorial for this sort of stuff? If the x2mdo tool is doing anything, it isn't talking about it???
Geez, I mean... is it too much for a command line utility to have some output? I'm a big fan of Fromsoftware in general, but this is ridiculous...
Anyway, just using an x file as input produces no output console or file wise. So I'm guessing either something is not working, or it wants a specific kind of x file. The readme says something about the contents of input files being compatible or not. But I'm thinking it either wants a text x file instead of binary, or maybe I remember some words about there being IM and RM x files, and I think x2mdo likes the RM variety?? Even though SoM doesn't use retained mode dx calls.
So anyway, long story short I'm guessing I need to download one of the apps people are using to work with this stuff?? So I could use some advice in that dept. Hopefully by the time I'm done working with models I'll have a custom tool chain that can cut x2mdo out of the picture... because it's just not a friendly tool.
PS: For now I'm just trying to get an x file and a corresponding mdo file in front of me so I can see what is similar and what is not between them. Ultimately I'm trying to get some of the SoM models out of SoM so I can use them as a modeling reference. My two major priorities for m09 are to make a multi-equip armor set that matches the scaly helm, and I'm thinking I want to make an obj set for making fairly opaque high performance weeping willow trees which should look something like this...
