I've been trying to figure out how to correctly extract the files from one of these .zap archives. I know there's a bms script for them but every time I use it everything always comes out incorrectly where, for example, using it with ovldata.zap a character file will actually have data with an unrelated shape in it and the header (FGRK) wouldn't be in the correct spot at the start of the files so I had to manually go through the entire file archive and manually take them out with a hex editor... EVERY SINGLE FILE.  Since I've got a semi-solution to ovldata, I'm now primarily working with auxdata.zap which houses all of the game's world models and I can't seem to find a good way to find out any of the specific files cause they don't seem to have explicit headers unlike ovldata. And unfortunately the bms script seems to be extra broken with auxdata as it shares the same issue with data being in the wrong file, but it also has it's own bug where the extractor just seems to trip up and asks to rename the file in order for it to save, but you can try to rename the file as much as you want but it never actually goes through.  I've attached both of the aforementioned .zap archives so hopefully someone can figure out a solution to this.  ovldata.zap on Google Drive auxdata.zap on Google Drive

Just the character models in general. The battle uniform ones would be in there, just not sure about the ones of them in their uniforms since those only seem to appear in pre-rendered cutscenes (the battle ones are the ones with those weird holes in their chests). No clue if you're planning to post these files anywhere, or make a script to make it easier for others, etc, but it would be awesome if you did. I'm always curious to see how the character models are put together.

For .saf files try to extract with this python script, if there is no problem you will get a bunch of .wav files saf.py

You can try to parse ent and geo files with this script, and you will get a lot of disassembled files Urban_Chaos_ent.zip

These ones?  From geomchr006.  I think I've just about got the basic mesh format sorted.
