Can you extract animations using a plugin?

Yes, you import the animation file in GR2 format into 3ds max, and you get a skeleton with animation.

I found another program (Noesis) that can extract animations into various formats (including FBX, SMD, PSK-PSA).
For the plugin in the program to correctly process the files, the files must have the *.gr2 extension.
The plugin was taken from here - https://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22277.

In principle, it is possible - if I remember correctly, with the help of ARKHANGEL, you can extract a model and a skeleton that are not linked (then you need to do skinning of the model), and with the help of a plugin for 3DS Max 2008, you can load the skeleton and animation.
Also, the model can be loaded into 3ds Max, after предварительно processing the model file from the game with the program mesh2wrl_by_CrazyPill (without a skeleton).

In "Noesis," I did it as shown in the pictures - Attachment 66475 Attachment 66474.
Or using a plugin for 3DS Max 2008 to import the gr2 file with animation or skeleton.

https://disk.yandex.ru/i/bF6oYwxYSAbUyg I have this problem))) granny2_64.dll is required (I didn't understand how to insert the picture here, so I uploaded it to Yandex Disk)... Maybe you can send your DLL file; if your program doesn't complain, then you have it?

Then, you probably need to run the Noesis.exe (32-bit) program, not Noesis64.exe (64-bit).
Although, it works for me on all bit versions (you can look for "granny2_64.dll" here).

Ugh, everything always goes wrong somehow (other files work right away). On page 20, I posted a link to the program "GR2Tool_by_Distraught_granny211_v13.exe, try dragging the file onto "GR2Tool_by_D.

Interesting. But it redirects me to LitRes.

Yeah... I did everything as described, but I got a different error, and there's no result.... I don't know why.... And another question - why is it necessary to change the first 16 bits specifically to "B867B0CAF86DB10F84728C7E5E19001E"? Where does this number come from?

Apparently, everyone has their own interests 🤔. But seriously, I've been using "uBlock Origin" and "Firefox" for about 8 years now, and I haven't had any ads or pop-ups.

That's how it should be!!! (but in this case, it's not necessary)
I'm looking at the screenshot and notice that your 555_new.gr2 file is only 165 KB, while mine is 451 KB. Here's a video showing how I convert 555.gr2 (which doesn't open in the program) to 555_new.gr2 and then open it without any errors. If that doesn't help, then I'm out of ideas 😴.

But how do you open the skeleton in a T-pose then?

Also, just use the skeleton file from the Skeletons folder.

If using the Noesis64 program, an error appears on the skeleton... but the animation works without errors.
