ModelTool2 is my older tool. It's built from DBO 0.50.4 source code, reverse-engineered to match TW client updates. It converts TW-format XML <-> RDF perfectly, so output files are 100% bit-identical to TW originals.
ClumpViewer is my recent tool for testing RenderWare x64 upgrades. It previews DBO models and animations—super lightweight and easy. Just drag .dff/.anm files into its window!
I did this work ages ago, so here’s just some old logs I kept:




How to Use
1. Unzip ModelTool2.zip into your DBOTW root folder.
2. Copy all .rdf files from DBOTW/property/ to tool/ModelTool/
3. Open ModelTool2.exe → File → Convert xml... to batch-convert binaries to XML. Close the tool when done.
4. Copy all .xml files from DBOTW/tool/ModelTool/Tree/ to DBOTW/tool/ModelTool/
5. Copy these folders:
- DBOTW/tool/ModelTool/character/
- DBOTW/tool/ModelTool/item/
- DBOTW/tool/ModelTool/object/
→ Paste into `DBOTW/devdata/
6. Open ModelTool2.exe → Click every list button (PC List, NPC List, etc.) so it registers them. Close and reopen* the tool afterward to unlock File → Convert Bin....
7. After running Convert Bin..., new .rdf files land in DBOTW/tool/ModelTool/property/
Binary Checks vs. TW Originals
characterproperty.rdf: Only 2 differences (NTL new v1.69+ data—no need to match). Everything else 100% identical.
- **itemproperty.rdf**: **100% identical**
- **ObjectProperty.rdf**: **100% identical**

PS.........
It should be part of OpenDBO because seeing people willing to contribute to OpenDBO motivated me to organize and release my messy code and tools
