Can we import models from PS2?

Postby ThePurplePeopleEater » Mon Mar 21, 2016 6:58 pm

I know that Madden 08 is hard-coded, which means we can't edit the actual stadium 3d shape or other interesting things, but, in the case that it wasn't, would we be able to import PS2 models from, say, NCAA 11 for the LA Rams, would we be able to do that?

We know EXACTLY where the Stadium models are.
The PS2 use different file types so not they can't be imported.
So the Giants traded Beckham....

Well, I heard that the Stadium models were hard-coded, so we couldn't edit them. And if only there was a way to convert those PS2 models to PC...

It's not that they're hard coded and it's not that we can't. The problem is that we don't know how and we don't have enough programmers on this site to figure it out.

Our best bet is still with xbox (see the thread entitled Converting xbox tmdl). There are more similarities between those files and PC.
