io_scene_mpet - PangYa import script for Blender

This is a Work-In-Progress importer for importing PangYa models as Blender scenes. It was developed through careful analysis of mpet files in a hex editor. Currently, only some versions of mpet are supported, and not fully. This will change shortly.

Special thanks to HSReina for their universal extractor and a few pointers. Also, to the developers of the original paktools and mpetmqo tool.

Who the hell designed this ship?

Status

• Working, supports many mpet files.
• Mesh data, textures, and armatures are supported.

Todo:

• Armatures: bone roll is not properly handled in import
• Armatures: use_connect may be improper
• Armatures: make sure vertex groups and bones are applied correctly
• Textures: some textures may not resolve yet.
• Textures: alpha mask is not automatically set up (doing so is trivial, though.)
• Textures: for some reason, two texture slots are occupied on import per material.
• Animations: not supported. Maybe there will be a separate apet plugin.

Usage

Clone this git repository into:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.77\scripts\addons_contrib\io_scene_mpet
• Linux: $HOME/.blender/2.77/scripts/addons_contrib/io_scene_mpet

Then activate it in User Preferences (look at the 'Testing' add-ons.)

What if I don't have git?

Hit download zip and extract it such that you have a folder named io_scene_mpet in your addons_contrib directory (listed above) and that folder contains __init__.py (and neighboring files, of course.)
