GDL Tools - Public Release v0.0.1

By HeyThereCoffeee

*Supports Gauntlet Dark Legacy for XBOX and PS2*

A fun side-project, and one rough program! This will load *most* of Gauntlet Dark Legacy's models and textures.

Note for PS2 Users

You'll have to decode your WAD.BIN file, you can use my tool available here:

https://github.com/haekb/gdl_wad_decoder/releases

You'll need Python (this can be downloaded from the Windows Store, or from https://www.python.org/). Make sure to read the readme!

How To Use

Model/Texture Mode:

- Drag in a OBJECTS.PS2 file onto the window

- Double click on an entry under Objects or Textures to load it

If you've loaded a player model, their base pose will be available under "Anims".

World Mode:

- Drag in a WORLDS.PS2 (only found under the Levels)

- This loads both the WORLDS.PS2 and OBJECTS.PS2.
- Double Click on "World Objects" to load the world. (The clunky developer way!)

- You can also load individual models/textures under the Objects.PS2 section

Known Issues

- Various texture formats aren't supported yet so they load with a source-style missing texture.

- Some textures should probably be transparent, but aren't.

- Sometimes it will crash!

- No animations for either player models or worlds (some objects in the world will be loaded at 0,0,0.)

- No Gamecube support. The models should load, but the textures are a different format, so it miiiight crash.

- Models currently draw double-sided, this can cause texture flickering.
- Some textures will appear distorted or incorrectly placed (uv map issues.)

- There may be left over debug functionality that I forgot to rip out. (Have fun!)
