I'll need the game executable (I tried sourcing it myself via the official download but it seems like the inno installer just houses a custom installer that I don't wanna run)   From a first glance: probably uses some state based XOR

Very interesting! Did you happen to find the link to the original blender 2.49b script as well?  

I discovered that Avatar XBG Blender Importer can support Far Cry 2: https://github.com/Quiet-Joker/Avatar-XBG-Blender-Importer

Need help with Marmalade SDK (.group.bin) 3D mesh extraction - Tone Sphere Hello everyone! I am trying to extract 3D meshes from the mobile game Tone Sphere (Marmalade SDK). I used a script to split the mono .group.bin file into separate assets. Now I have a 1.4 MB file (dc3c2177) which definitely contains a 3D mesh. Here is what I found out using HEX and Model Researcher: Faces / Indices Offset: starts exactly at 0x15C550 (Format: 16-bit Unsigned Short). Maximum Index: 60288 Vertices: Located right before the faces, but they seem to use fixed-point math (IwFixed / Short_Signed with scaling), which causes a huge mess and wrong scaling when reading via Model Researcher. UV / Normals: Also packed right before the vertices. Could anyone help me write a quick Noesis plugin or a Python script to properly parse this mesh? I can provide the sample file! Thanks in advance! dc3c2177.zip

For all the files you sent, there are only 2 formats that I could see. They all contain either images, or animations (image sequences).   +-------------------------------+ | Ultima Online: Outlands *.uoo | +-------------------------------+ // texmaps.uoo , art.uoo , gumps.uoo , landtiles.uoo Files // Uses Deflate Compression // HEADER 4 - Unknown (109,171,127,30) 4 - Unknown (1) // DETAILS AND FILE DATA // for each file 4 - File ID? 4 - File Length (not including these 2 fields, but including all the fields after this one) 2 - Image Width 2 - Image Height 2 - Unknown (often null) 2 - Unknown (often null) 2 - Unknown (sometimes Image Width) 2 - Unknown (sometimes Image Height) 4 - File Length (File Data only) X - File Data (Deflate Compression) when decompressed { width*height*2 - Image Data (RGB555) } // FOOTER 16 - null +-------------------------------+ | Ultima Online: Outlands *.uoo | +-------------------------------+ // anim.uoo File // Uses Deflate Compression // HEADER 4 - Unknown (109,171,127,30) 4 - Unknown (1) // DETAILS AND FILE DATA // for each folder 4 - Folder ID? 4 - File Length (not including these 2 fields, but including all the fields after this one) 4 - Number of Groups in this Folder? 4 - null // for each group 4 - Group ID? 4 - Number of Files in this Group // for each file in this group 4 - File ID? 4 - Number of Frames in the Animation 4 - File Length X - File Data (Deflate Compression) when decompressed { // for each frame 2 - X Offset 2 - Y Offset 2 - Frame Width 2 - Frame Height 4 - Number of Pixels (Frame Length = numPixels*2) width*height*2 - Image Data (RGB555) }   For the Animations, the "Folder" looks to be the object/creature number, the "Group" seems to be the direction, and the "File" seems to be the animation number.   I wasn't able to quite figure out how to apply the Y Offset to each frame - as in, depending on the individual animation, what looked perfect for 1 animation looked very "jumpy" for another animation.
