lukts30 / rdm4

3D model converter for Anno 2070/2205/1800 with animation support (proprietary .rdm ⇄ glTF 2.0)

rdm4: rdm ⇄ glTF 2.0 Converter

Windows Explorer right-click menu

It is possible to use parts of the converter functionality via a context menu in Windows Explorer. Not all features of the converter are available in this context menu notably non of the animation support (if you want to convert animations you must use the command-line interface!).

Create the folder C:\tools. Copy rdm4-bin.exe to C:\tools. Choose one of the reg files. Save it and apply it.

• rdm4.reg: Abort/Crashes if a output file already exist.
• rdm4-force.reg: Will override any already existing output file.

• Youtube playlist with a few videos showing how to use the rdm4 converter to make it a bit easier to get started with the converter.

command-line interface rdm4-bin

rdm4-bin 0.8.0-alpha.1
lukts30 <https://github.com/lukts30/rdm4>

USAGE:
    rdm4-bin [OPTIONS] --input <glTF or rdm FILE>

OPTIONS:
    -i, --input <glTF or rdm FILE>    Input file
    -o, --outdst <OUT>                Output file or folder. If `--in-is-out-filename` is set this
                                      must be a folder!
    -n, --in-is-out-filename          Sets output to input file name
        --force                       Override existing files
    -s, --skeleton                    Export (available) skin
    -a, --animation                   Export (available) animation. RDM to glTF needs external
                                      animation file (rdanimation)
    -v, --verbose                     A level of verbosity, and can be used multiple times
    -h, --help                        Print help information
    -V, --version                     Print version information

GLTF TO RDM OPTIONS:
    -g, --gltf <VertexFormat>
            VertexFormat for output rdm: P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h | P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h_I4b |
            P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h_I4b_W4b | P3f_N3f_G3f_B3f_T2f_C4b

        --gltf-mesh-index <GLTF_MESH_INDEX>
            glTF mesh index to convert to rdm [default: 0]

        --no_transform
            glTF to rdm: Do not apply node transforms. Recommended to use when working with
            animations

        --negative-x-and-v0v2v1
            Mirrors the object on the x axis

        --overide-mesh-idx <OVERIDE_MESH_IDX>
            Overrides MeshInstance mesh indcies. Useful to match the material order of an existing
            cfg

    -u, --gltf-node-joint-name-src <GLTF_NODE_JOINT_NAME_SRC>
            For glTF joint to rdm bone: source for a unique identifier: "UnstableIndex" |
            "UniqueName" [default: UniqueName]

RDM TO GLTF OPTIONS:
    -e, --gltf-export-format <GLTF_EXPORT_FORMAT>
            Export format to use for rdm to gltf: "glb", "gltf", "gltfmin" [default: glb]

    -m, --rdanimation <anim/*.rdm>
            External animation file for rdm

    -t, --diffusetexture <*.dds>
            DiffuseTextures

Example usage (rdm 🠚 glTF 2.0)

$ ./rdm4-bin.exe --input rdm/container_ship_tycoons_lod1.rdm

Usage with animation (rdm 🠚 glTF 2.0)

$ ./rdm4-bin.exe --input rdm/container_ship_tycoons_lod1.rdm --skeleton --animation --rdanimation anim/container_ship_tycoons_idle01.rdm

Can be shortened to:

$ ./rdm4-bin.exe -i rdm/container_ship_tycoons_lod1.rdm -sam anim/container_ship_tycoons_idle01.rdm

Example usage glTF 2.0 🠚 rdm

Flag --gltf or the alias -g must be used! See the section on vertex formats below

• Note: the example given here uses -g=P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h_I4b_W4b and -sa since it converts an animated glTF to rdm with anim files.

Setting Vertex Formats for glTF 2.0 🠚 rdm

**-g sets your vertex format

P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h: Vertex Format for standard meshes

P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h_I4b: Vertex Format with unweighted Joints

• This needs at least Joint Data exported to the gltf.

P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h_I4b_W4b: Vertex Format with weighted Joints, i.e. Portraits

• This needs Joint and Weight Data exported to the gltf.

P3f_N3f_G3f_B3f_T2f_C4b: Cloth

• Needs vertex colors in the export. If you don't have an idea how to create them in blender, refer to this video

P4h_T2h_C4b: Decal Detail

• Needs vertex colors in the export.
• Anno uses the vertex color for deviation in luminosity.
• Use gray=0.5 as your standard color, then paint darker and brighter spots.

TLDR, if you just want a standard model, use -g=P4h_N4b_G4b_B4b_T2h!

rdm4 current limitations

• gltf -> rdm: gltf file needs to include normals and tangents. they are not computed in the converter !
  • see Blender glTF export
• glTF 2.0 🠚 rdm with animation
  • glTF node names are not necessarily unique but this converter uses them by default for rdm bone names. This might cause problems.
    • Use the option --gltf-node-joint-name-src.
    • #50
  • Must not require interpolation e.g. rotation t=[0,2,6] while translation t=[0,7]. Bypassed by using Blenders 'Always Sample Animation' export option.
  • channel.path: translation and rotation are supported.
    • channel.path: scale is unsupported!
  • Morph Targets: scale and weights are unsupported!
    • To my knowledge impossible to implement since rdanimation "units" are 32 bytes large = 4*4 rotation + 3*4 translation + 1*4 time

Blender

Export glTF vertex tangents with mesh

• The exported glTF file must have tangents data. This is not the default option for the blender glTF exporter!
  • after selecting export on right side click on "geometry" and ENABLE "tangents".

• Format can be glTF Binary/glTF Separate/glTF Embedded
  • There should not be a functional difference between these formats. They are equally supported by rdm4.
  • If you are unsure select glTF Binary (.glb).
• Materials may optionally be enabled. If you are experiencing problems with textures test with and without.
