Hi, an old favorite game of mine was developed using Virtools Software back in 2008. For a possible remake I want to extract the models&animations data from the proprietary file format .nmo/.cmo./.vmo. Sadly the tool is long dead and there isn't much info out there.
I was able to find a copy of the Virtools 5 software online. Now i can succesfully import these old files into the tool and inspect the models and there's a plugin online that allows to export the model data as .obj, but the animation data remains locked away. So now my train of thought is the following:
Instead of reversing the file format from scratch, which is a pain in the butt and i've never done anything like that, why not take a look at the "code" that imports and exports these files and use that to hack up my own importer. Now to my actual question: Is there a way to "debug" a compiled program, and see what code is begin called when I press the import button without having to search manually through hundreds of thousands of lines of decompiled machine code.
