Greetings, BlackSpigot community and fellow game enthusiasts! We have a thrilling challenge for those skilled in Unity, Python, FusionFall, or reverse engineering. The FusionFall game, while already revived and playable, is still missing a key element: the ability to import animated models. We need your help to unlock this final piece of the puzzle and make FusionFall fully moddable, allowing the game to reach its true potential. Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey and contribute your expertise to enhance this beloved game?

Current Progress: FusionFall has been successfully revived using the OpenFusion server, and many fans are enjoying modded builds of the game. We have access to the original game assets, an open-source server, and UnityPackFF, a fork of UnityPack modified to work with the FusionFall header format. We can modify existing assets, import static models, add new missions, and more. However, we're still missing the crucial knowledge of importing animated models, which is essential for creating a fully moddable game.

The Challenge at Hand: The task is to find a way to import animated models into FusionFall, given the unique format of the game's bundles (Unity 2.5.5.bf) and the lack of direct compatibility with public versions of Unity. The FusionFall Retro team was able to import animated models by creating new asset bundles in Unity 2.6, changing headers and pointers, and using a hex editor to transfer files. However, this knowledge has been lost, and we're seeking someone to help us rediscover these techniques and bring animated models to FusionFall.

Why You Should Join Us:
  1. Contribute to a beloved game: By joining our project, you'll help enhance FusionFall, making it fully moddable and even more enjoyable for its dedicated fanbase.
  2. Enhance your skillset: You'll gain valuable experience working with older versions of Unity, reverse engineering, and game modding.
  3. Collaborate with passionate individuals: Work alongside a dedicated community of FusionFall fans who share your love for gaming and are committed to unlocking the game's full potential.
  4. Unlock new possibilities: Discovering the techniques to import animated models will open up a world of possibilities for modding and improving FusionFall.
Our Speculations: To import animated models into FusionFall, we could:
  1. Investigate how to create new asset bundles in Unity 2.5 or 2.6, which could then be converted into a FusionFall-compatible format by changing headers and pointers.
  2. Examine hex data to explore the possibility of transferring files directly using UnityPackFF and a hex editor from newly created asset bundles.
  3. Research how the FusionFall Retro team managed to import animated models, and apply those techniques to our current setup.
Conclusion: We need your expertise to unlock the full potential of FusionFall and create a completely moddable game experience. By joining our efforts, you'll contribute to enhancing a cherished game and creating new experiences for its dedicated community. Are you ready to take on this challenge and help us bring animated models to FusionFall?
