I'm trying my best to make it load somehow

Actually the LZSS provide above, is wrong, for the files. I did the reverse enginner of the algorithim, Try the tool, see if the image get right TenchuWoH_DeCompressor.zip

I've just released new version of ImageHeat 🙂 https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/ImageHeat/releases/tag/v0.39.1 Changelog: - Added new Nintendo Switch unswizzle modes (2_16 and 4_16) - Added support for PSP_DXT1/PSP_DXT3/PSP_DXT5/BGR5A3 pixel formats - Fixed issue with unswizzling 4-bit GameCube/WII textures - Added support for hex offsets (thanks to @MrIkso ) - Moved image rendering logic to new thread (thanks to @MrIkso ) - Added Ukrainian language (thanks to @MrIkso ) - Added support for LZ4 block decompression - Added Portuguese Brazillian language (thanks to @lobonintendista ) - Fixed ALPHA_16X decoding - Adjusted GRAY4/GRAY8 naming - Added support section in readme file

The textures are compressed with ZSTD - just that type 0 means the whole file is not compressed. But there doesn't seem to be any encryption once decompressed - looks something like ETC format:

Thanks for some info from here and made a tool for unpacking and packing localize map files, if someone is interested in it. https://github.com/dest1yo/wwm_utils

It's been a while since this topic is up and i have found a way to deal with this: -Step 1: From the .farc files, use either the tool mentioned at the first post of this thread, or download QuickBMS and use the virtua_fighter_5 bms script i included in the zip file below to extract them into bin files. -Step 2: Download noesis and install the noesis-project-diva plugin (https://github.com/h-kidd/noesis-project-diva/tree/main , or in the included zip file) in order to view and extract the textures/models and use them in Blender or a 3d modeling software of your choice.

Please don't publish tutorials until you finish them. Also, Raw Texture Cooker is outdated. It's better to use ImageHeat https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/ImageHeat It supports more pixel formats etc.

Introduction This question is probably the most asked one and it makes total sense why, the answer unfortunatelly is pretty generic in it's nature, it depends but if we dive deeper turns out it's not as hard as you think might be here is why I personally think this way... Reverse engineering the game, specifically for asset extraction, requires 4 different steps to create: 1. Extract Game Archive, (Reverse enigneer game's extractioon method, spot a compression method, decrypt xor keys (Rarely)) 2. Reverse Enigneer Binary 3D model files 3. Reverse egnineer Binary Texture files 4. Reverse egnineer the Binary Audio files While those are not extreamly hard to topics to learn, it can took some time to figure them out yourselfe. There are numereous ways to reverse engineer those tasks, you can do it manually via binary inspection, or by using, exploits or even by using leaked Beta Builds or reloaded versions, that often are packed with .PDB files (debug symbols) that can be loaded into Ghidra for near source code, code debugging experience. While the best one is still a binary inspection, there are already dedicated tools for this, for inspecting and extracting manually sample by sample, but currently in time being there aren't any automated programs for this so you must choose to rely on Python scripts. For extracting game archives I recommend QuickBMS for model extraction Model Researcher for Textures Raw Texture Cooker and Audacity for Audio... By extracting all of the game content don't forget about the Headers and Magic Numbers, No matter how Payload loos like, the headers are always the same and often contain super usefull info with them. Graphic Debuggers vs Reverse Engineering This is hot topic is the most intersting one, since yes, Dumping 3D Models and Textures + Recording the Audio's using Graphic Debuggers like RenderDoc, nvidia Nsight Graphics and NinjaRipper Exploit obviously way, way easier than any reverse engineering the proprietary files, it can be done in few minutes vs it can took a few days to mounths in Reverse Engineering so the difference is huge sometimes, hovewer after you reverse engineered the binary files you have access to extreamly fast asset "ripping" speeds without relying on the drawcalls and of course you have access to all of the cut contents and very very easier and faster Map/World "ripping". There are obviously upsides and downsides in both of the methods, I personally recommend using exactly what you need for, if there are already scripts for extracting and maybe even converting some binary proprietary assets then go for it!

My first try on this .lwo format.

Skeleton deformations for the character creator is probably a more accurate term for Veilguards “morph targets” (DAO/DA2 use straight up targets while I/VG use the skeleton to deform morphs with different bone positions) But I’m not a game dev. 😉

My best bet: edit: fail, at 0x1d934 there's only a copy of the mesh

I am attaching the fmodel json file. With uassetgui, what procedure did you follow to obtain that result? Maybe I'm missing something, as this is the first time I've used uassetgui. Edit: Ah ok, thanks, with .\UAssetGUI tojson GameTextUI.uasset GameTextUI.json VER_UE5_4 Mappings.usmap I can get the base64 code, but it is unreadable: ����������m_DataList�d��m_id��m_gametext��No data.�������������m_id�m_gametext��Held�������������m_id �m_gametext��None�������������m_id!

here you go : 0x09D01B34E843AC6BE08BD854B3CEDA0C4CA52281C08B02BF827F3ADA77173BCA

When you choose "uncompressed" the file size should be bigger than for a DXT5 file. I'd try some other tool, maybe Gimp, for testing.

hi need help ripping and reverse engineering the Geekjam, Toejam, and the Earl models from Toejam and Earl III for a animation. below are the .funk files (which is located in the bdl folder for some reason idk) and .bmt files for each character. files for toe jammin and fateral.zip

So here's pixel format for ps4. PF_DXT5 = 7 PF_DXT1 = 13 PF_BC7U = 22 PF_UNKNOWN = 2 not sure but can be RGBA

I remember to make a request in your github about it. 👍 Somehow, we were not able to see these textures in ImageHeat, only after extraction and decompression. Anyway, for the Switch textures it seems to be an issue as h3x3r said above and I confirm it too. In the attachment you find all the textures in UNIFORM.TEX (including jersey-color) from the Switch version already decompressed. The stock texture file is in the Switch files in the first post (UNIFORM.TEX). In the screenshot below you see the parameters for the jersey-color texture. Maybe useful when you have time to check it to help you fix ImageHeat. UNIFORM Switch decompressed.zip

LZ4 is supported in ImageHeat.

O.K. so here's script for ps4 format. Inside unpacked file is texture width/height and pixel format all in 6 bytes. Rest is image data. Also i don't know about pixel fomat so you must figure out. get BaseFileName basename comtype lz4 getdstring Sig 0x8; get Unknown_0 uint32 get Unknown_1 uint32 getdstring Platform 0x4 get TextureCount uint32 get Unknown_2 uint32 get UnknownCount uint32 get TotalCompressedSize uint32 get TotalDecompressedSize uint32 get Unknown_6 uint32 get Unknown_7 uint32 for i = 0 < TextureCount getdstring TextureName[i] 0x40 getdstring Unknown_0 0x10 get CompressedSize[i] uint32 get Offset[i] uint32 # + BaseOffset get Unknown_3 uint32 get DecompressdSize[i] uint32 get Unknown_4 ushort get Unknown_ ushort get Unknown_6 uint32 get Unknown_7 uint32 get Unknown_8 uint32 savepos WidthHeightPos[i] get TextureWidth ushort get TextureHeight ushort get Unknown_9 uint32 savepos PixelFormatPos[i] get PixelFormat ushort get Unknown_10 ushort get Unknown_11 uint32 getdstring Unknown_12 0x4 get Unknown_13 uint32 get Unknown_14 ushort get Unknown_15 ushort get Unknown_16 uint32 getdstring Null 0x10 next i math UnknownCount * 40 getdstring UnkInfo UnknownCount savepos BaseOffset for i = 0 < TextureCount math Offset[i] + BaseOffset string FileName p= "%s/%s.dat" BaseFileName TextureName[i] append 0 log FileName WidthHeightPos[i] 4 log FileName PixelFormatPos[i] 2 clog FileName Offset[i] CompressedSize[i] DecompressdSize[i] next i

Nobody's making fun of you. However, it would have been useful if you had mentioned not having a computer at the start, instead of having people waste their time on things you can't use. It also sounds like you were harassing another user in DMs for help, which you also need to stop doing. People will help if they want to, and if they have the time.

It's Unity, but seems to have a protection layer so it can't be opened in Asset Studio. Game Assembly: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3i7kvobi4nacnbh/GameAssembly.zip/file THO.zip

fmt_FGOArcade_mot.py Still incomplete

I made a blender addon to import models, textures and animations for dolphin wave and other games that used the same engine. it can import lzs and lza files as is. You don't need to decrypt or decompress the files https://github.com/Al-Hydra/blenderBUM

To whoever ends up here in the future, there is a really simple to use utility to convert files from Xbox ADPCM to PCM and vice-versa on Github: Sergeanur/XboxADPCM Thanks for the thread, I really thought the WAV files I had were lost forever due to an obsolete codec..! In my case, I am porting the PT-BR voiceover of Max Payne from PC to Xbox, which I am surprised wasn't done before.

You can either use this QuickBMS script to extract the msv audio files out of the rp2: get UNK long get FILES long goto 0x20 for i = 0 < FILES getdstring NAME 7 getdstring DUMMY 25 get OFFSET long get SIZE long get DUMMY2 long string NAME + ".msv" log NAME OFFSET SIZE next i Or you can use this txth file to play the audios out of the rp2 directly (needs vgmstream + an audio player like foobar2000): subsong_count = @0x04 subsong_spacing = 0x2c base_offset = 0x20 name_offset = 0x00 subfile_offset = @0x20 subfile_size = @0x24 subfile_extension = msv Save the text above as ".rp2.txth" and put it on the same directory as the rp2 file. Also if you're using foobar2000, make sure to check "Enable unknown exts" on the vgmstream preferences page.

No, mané game extractor! attached my .exe try it you can drop the file into the .exe as well the tool looks like StarWars3PakExtractor.zip

Hi Shak-otay, yes it's me, I never imagined you would remember me 😄. I found this texture in the file.

I did the descompressor and compressor but in c++, need to test the compressor thought, because is compressing better than the original. Test in game and show the results, if works. MACROSS_PS1_TOOL.zip

Here you can see something, but I don't know how to find the faces.

What I'm trying to do is create a new texture and trying to add an alpha channel while hex editing. The Zip File I provided is mostly for demonstration purposes. I'm trying to edit NINJA_FACE_DAMAGE_000, NINJA_FACE_DAMAGE_001, and NINJA_FACE_DAMAGE_002. My biggest problem is that the textures I'm trying to add an alpha channel to is different than it's original textures and is swizzled differently thus the alpha channel will be different. I am aware the image data will always start at 592 (0x250) and palette data differs depending on the size of the texture 64x64 (0x12A0), 128x128 (0x42A0), 256x256 (0x102D0). Anyways, I was able to use ImageHeat to get an alpha channel from the original textures with PAL8 pixel and RGBA8888 palette and exported it. Also, was able to use the ReverseBox Demo 2 to export and import the original textures just to get familiar with it. These are just a few textures that I'm trying to insert into the game and the alpha channels. MKD Texture Edit.zip

rename it to .awb files then use the lastest vgmstream, works well

They are still pck files. I can find many wwise .bnk files in AA462ABBFEC319B665666E14585F97D9_EndfieldBeta with ravioli explorer , RavioliGameTools_v2.10.zip (if you need)and I think quickbms also work. By the way I guess the really wem audio files are in another pck files. there are over 5000 bnk files in AA462ABBFEC319B665666E14585F97D9_EndfieldBeta. That means the bnk files may not store any actual audio files

I've been doing a Noesis script for the beta of Once Human. Still got a few things to do on it, but it should work for most of the models so far: Edit: Read the notes at the start of the script regarding the various files needed. once_human_mesh.zip

Bump numero 3

I've just released a new version of ImageHeat 🙂 https://github.com/bartlomiejduda/ImageHeat/releases/tag/v0.31.2 Changelog: - Added new pixel formats: APLHA4, ALPHA4_16X, ALPHA8, ALPHA8_16X, RGBA6666, RGBX6666, BGRT5551, BGRT8888, PAL8_TZAR, BGRA5551, BGRA5551_TZAR, BGRA8888_TZAR, BGRA4444_LEAPSTER - Added support for LZ4, Emergency RLE, Neversoft RLE, Tzar RLE, Leapster RLE, Reversed TGA RLE - Fixed issue with x360 swizzling - Fixed issue with PS Vita/Morton swizzling for 4-bpp images - Added support for palette values scaling (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x) - Added dropbox for palette scaling in "Palette Parameters" box - Added funding info

My script for another game should work with these GSB files: https://github.com/DKDave/Scripts/blob/master/QuickBMS/GameCube/Legend_Of_Spyro_New_Beginning_(GameCube)_GSB.bms

For this format it's not as hard as you may think of. It's just a matter of persistent search which some people lack of and leave it to guys like me... Be that as it may, here's a H2O example, copy the 6 lines into notepad, for example, and save as ch0001_01_whatever. Rename the .txt file to .H2O then and load the model and the H2O file into hex2obj. Press the 'mesh' button. 0x951408 11085 Vb1 32 99 0x8F8A68 5239 021010 0x0 255 ch0001_01 obj.bin seems to contain different meshes: And the start address of the concerning FI block is unknown: Being bored by this annoying FIs' start address search for each sub mesh I used meshlab again:

Bumping this, if anyone would be an absolute unit to solve the animations it would be greatly appreciated! 🙃

Did you ever figure out the animations format? I'd love to get access to the animations for some stuff but of course, the MOT files are formatted differently 😔

zlib_DeCompressor.pyHere the DeCompressor update, now works with every file

I wrote a VSF UNPACK/PACK program and a new decompressor/compressor for zlib. Now, it accepts large files and there's no need to use QuickBMS anymore. The .vfs file can now be larger than the original. I did a test, and it worked with the image below, maybe you can put music and soundeffects as well, If the .py file doesn't work, you must install tkinter via pip. VFS_PackUnpack_Tool.py zlib_DeCompressor.py

for fgo's script, you just need run this: python FGOArcade-FARC.py "your farcfile path" for farcpack tool, Run it in the shell to see the cli commands.

How exactly should I use it? First I have to decrypt the farc files, right? To decrypt the 3D Models I was using quickbms and the script that was on XeNTaX, but that script can't decrypt the farcs from the trading cards

yeah i guess so. but I think we need to find something to differentiate between rotate data or transform data, and it's hard to find that, so we need something reverse work

for fgo arcade, you can use this to extract the farc file: https://github.com/Silvris/RandomScriptsAndTemplates/blob/main/FGO Arcade/FGOArcade-FARC.py for kancolle arcade, you can use farcpack tools to extract it: https://github.com/blueskythlikesclouds/MikuMikuLibrary/releases/download/v2.2.0/FarcPack.7z the trading card images was in ./rom/trading_card
