I am trying to extract the .png files that are used during the game's loading screens. However, it keeps coming out partially done, noisy, black, or any combination of the three.

So far, I've used quickBMS with the over_the_hedge.bms script, since it seemed to be the closest solution, but that may be exactly the problem.

is this the original file? or file extracted after the script?

I used the .bms script on the ASSETS.GOB file and this is the file that came out - nothing else was done. I don't know if maybe since the script wasn't made for CNK, that is why the .pngs are noisy?

maybe the script, is dumping with a wrong size.

After investigating your problem, turns out there's a bit of a problem with the over_the_hedge.bms script:

1. Somehow the script keep putting the "ENBL" mark at the end of the files block (Only for the files that has two or more blocks), corrupting some files (in your case PNG files)
2. With "0" type compression (aka no compression), last 16 bytes of the file is missing. At least with the png files.
3. Small problems with the name length, for this game it should be 72 instead of 104.

EDIT: I made a fix. In the line that says "if TMP == "STBL"", below the "math ZSIZE - 5" line, add this in the over_the_hedge.bms script:

Code:

            if ZIP == '0'
               math ZSIZE - 4
            endif

Also, to made the script extract the files with correct filenames, change the "math NAMESZ = 104" to "math NAMESZ = 72". Then just re-extract all the contents of ASSETS.GFC/.GOB.

Sorry for the extremely late reply, BloodRaynare. It worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
