Material Info - .mmat¶

.mmat represents all the materials for a model, it is a set of materials. It describes the textures to use, and the shaders linked to a material.

This file is a FlatBuffer file.

Shader Type

Each shader type uses a different type of shader where different parameters and texture maps may be required to be provided. Refer to files which uses these types in the first place to provide the proper parameters to avoid a potential game crash.

0 = player_silhouette? (sub-types: 7, 8)
1 = player_silhouette2? (sub-types: 7, 8)
2 = Eye shaders? (sub-types: 7, 8)
3 = Face shaders? (sub-types: 0, 3, 7, 8)
4 = Hair shaders? (sub-types: 0, 3, 7, 8)
5 = Metal shaders (sub-types: 0, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8)
7 = elementallookdev (sub-types: 7, 8)
8 = flowmap (sub-types: 7, 8)
9 = foilage (sub-types: 7, 8)
10 = glowingground (sub-types: 7, 8)

23 = uberenv_layer2_plantpivotpainter (sub-types: 1, 7, 8)
24 = uberenv_layer3 (sub-types: 1, 7, 8)
25 = uberenv_layer4 (sub-types: 1, 7, 8)
26 = uberenv_plantpivotpainter? (sub-types: 4, 7, 8)
27 = uberenvtextureless? (sub-types: 7, 8)
28 = Not supported
29 = grid (sub-types: 7, 8)

Shader Sub-Type

The sub-types supported depend on the main shader type.

0 = vs_pbs_xxxxx/vs_pbs_sxxxx8_anime/vs_pbs_sxxxx/vs_pbs_sxxxx_anime
1 = ?
3 = outline (skinning)
4 = shadow
5 = shadow skinning mask (dp)
6 = pointlight_shadow_mask
7 = player silhouette or regular texture?
8 = "foward" shaders?

ShaderParamInfo¶

Field Name	Type	Description
param_hash	XXHash32Custom(str)	Hashed shader parameter name.
value_or_offset	uint	Value for the parameter. Note that when the type is `float/Vec2/Vec3/Vec4`, the value becomes an offset to `shader_param_float_data_pool`.
value_type	ShaderParamValueType	Parameter value type.

Value Types

U8 = 0,
U16 = 1,
F32 = 2,
Vec2 = 3
Vec3 = 4,
Vec4 = 5

TextureMapInfo¶

Field Name	Type	Description
shader_map_name_hash	XXHash32Custom(str)	Hashed map name passed to the shader.
texture_name	string	Texture name. When granite is not in use, this will be mapped to `texture/4k/<name>.texture` or `texture/<name>.texture`.

GraniteVirtualTextureStreamingInfo¶

Field Name	Type	Description
page_file	string	Granite page file where textures for this material are located.
layer_to_shader_map_name_hash	XXHash32Custom(str)[]	Shader map names. Each element will map to one layer in the granite file. For instance if element 0 is the hash of `g_AlbedoMap`, that means that `g_AlbedoMap` is located at layer 0.
unk3	byte	Unknown.
unk4	byte	Unknown.
tile_set_number	byte	Tile set number where the page file is located. Up to 11 is supported, 0-2 is used.

ConstantBuffer¶

Unknown. This is indexed by constant_buffer_indices within materials.

Field Name	Type	Description
buffer	float[]	Float buffer.
unk_unique_param_name_hash	XXHash32Custom(str)	Unique name hash.
