A project workflow to port over assets from the 007 Nightfire console version to the Source engine.
Extracting the Files
To extract the 007 Nightfire files, you need:
- An .ISO of the PS2 version of Nightfire
- The Nightfire research tools (nightfire-re)
- Python
- Place the ISO in the 'iso_dump_folder' folder of 'nightfire-re'.
- Run the Python script 'main.py'.
- All the extracted files will be located in the folder 'iso_extract\platform_ps2\ps2_converted'.
Converting to Source
The extracted files include .OBJ files of level parts of the singleplayer FPS levels and all multiplayer levels. The OBJ files are 3D models, but in order to create a workable level in Source, we need brushes instead of models. There is no other way than to manually redraw all the surfaces as brushes, but we can import the level parts as models as reference to easily draw over it.
