ROM Hack Dragon Quest VIII Additional Textures?

[PkmnTrainerElio]

I'm currently extracting models from Dragon Quest VIII for 3DS and general facial movement textures (eyes close, mouth open, etc) I can't seem to find them and I believe they are in these .xbb files, but 3DS xbb extractor won't work on my computer. Help would be really appreciated.

I'll link some files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rx0kficz6a0r136/player.zip?dl=0

Its been awhile since I looked at the game but I believe the face textures are also in the bch files, I recall seeing them and I don't think I ever touched a xbb.

I've looked in the BCH files, but only found the standard facial textures that come with the models (no closed eyes/open mouths, etc).

I can't seem to find the extra textures such as closed eyes or open mouths, they seem to be well hidden, also, I have a similar problem with the Dragon Quest VII Models. When loaded in Ohana3DS, the facial textures are missing (They appear on the models in SPICA though) and when exported from both programs, the facial textures are missing.

Have you tried looking at the bch files in the events, for example Model/event/e1400/e1401/e1401_2_c004/event_model.bch has a texture for Jessica eyes it seems, so each texture for a face is going to be tied to some event file, finding them all seems like a pain at the very least we know c004 = Jessica.

Thank you so much! So far, I have found Jessica and Angelo's eyes, but, I will continue to look soon. Also, there's a specific map I want to view (the underground city in Black Citadel), but Ohana3DS nor SPICA will allow me to do so.

Hi there, did you find a way to make it work?

Thank!

Nope, not yet, sorta lost interest in the project, but have been tempted to start again.

UPDATE: August 6, 2022.

I have found only Jessica's, Angelo's and the Priest's eyes... No others, yet, despite searching in model files.
