[MAXScript] .WDR .WFT unlocker 1.1 beta

Script to remove ZModeler lock from .wft .wdr files.

The script requires:

More recent versions of 3dsmax: for example 3ds max 2024.

If your script will work on older versions of 3ds max (2023,2022, and so on) — contact me.

The script will not work on older versions (3ds max 8,9,2010)!!!

How to use:

1) Unpack Zlib.net.dll from the archive (located in the zlib compression library folder) into the folder *directory 3dsmax*\Scripts\ (for example C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2024\scripts)

2) Unpack the .ms file to any other location, the script can be thrown into the \Scripts\Startup\ folder for its automatic launch when 3dsmax starts.

3) Run 3dsmax, select Scripting->Run Script on the top panel, select the .ms script file.

4) Depending on the file (.wft or .wdr) select the desired function (Unlock .wdr file or unlock .wft file)

5) Tell the script the required file (.wft or .wdr), then you need to wait until the script processes the file, the processing time can take from a few seconds to 2-3 minutes depending on the file size and computer performance.

6) The script will notify you of the end of the unlock process. The unlocked file will have the _unlocked prefix in its name.

7) The unlocked file is suitable for import into ZModeler2, if it is not possible to import into ZModeler, you need to convert the .wdr .wft file to OpenFormats and load it into 3dsmax. The file also fully retains its performance in the game.

Change history:

1) 06/16/2023 — first release (1.0).

2) 12/24/2024 — fixed a bug that caused a file of 0 bytes to be created on new versions of 3dsmax.

3) 01/26/2025 — version 1.1 beta:

- Added the ability to unpack and pack the file using the zlib library without using RSC Manager;

- Fixed and completed the algorithm for restoring information in the geometry for the .wdr file;

- Rewritten the algorithm for unlocking .wft files, the geometry search is carried out by offsets in the file, and not by the header of the Model section.
