Editing some other files with hex editor

Your evaluation of the number of verts is still incorrect.
The vertex data starts at 6530 hex and ends at 42610 hex. Each vertex is 32 bytes in size. Subtract those 2 and divide by 32 and you get 7687 vertices.
Also you can't divide the vertices by 3 to get the number of faces. For example, 4 vertices representing the four corners of a square would have 2 faces.
The good news is I found the values for the number of indices and vertices in the ccmesh file. Updated my post on the cmesh data.

How i do:
Firstly i edit the gcmesh with ultra edit i try some hex edit and i try ingame if that's works (only preload_items
i can't test on customize_item... )
I upload the float2txt tool.
How i use it:
1-I remove the beginning data inside brute_minigun_gun.gcmesh_pc i only keep the beginning vertex...
2-I made a .bat file: float2txt brute_minigun_gun.gcmesh_pc brute_minigun_gun.obj 24
3-I change each section to proper columns (i use ultraedit a good tool)
4-I only keep the vertex i remove the others 21 data.
5-I create a (v ) column in front of the vertex.

The maxscript http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7874 can load some custom item but lost the uvmap.
I tried with the genki outfit and exported to .3ds and imported the .3ds back with Milkshape3d but i have to do the uvmap.
With the float2txt tool i can use an hexadecimal converter (float to intel hex) to edit the vertex position (hex editor) and save the .gcmesh.

Because best I can tell, we're not there yet. He can extract them (ugly as it is, per-vertex) then convert it to milkshape and back to 3ds, doesn't quite have the wrapping of textures and maps and all.. and can't repackage it for the game because there's more than just the vertexes.. we can manipulate some of it by hex editing, but this isn't a model editor yet. It's closer to a model viewer.
Unless I'm really off how far you've gotten, zoum, you're not at the point of a compiling plugin for max to make the in-game models, right? Just hex-editing of bones and maybe verteces?
Be patient, we're getting there. It's impressive as hell, and we're excited with the potential, but we'll rave once we see new in-game models
(Yeah we're picky!)
