I've been attempting to extract textures from NIS's Process of Elimination for some time without much luck. The files are in NLTX format with YKCMP compression, and I seem to be running into the same problems another user had a few years back with the Japanese version of the game here: QuickBMS and the Noesis script don't work. I did manage to get iltrof's YKCMP script to work, but I'm not sure what format the end result is or how to deal with it from there.

It seems like a handful of other NIS games use this format, but I haven't found any tools that will work with this game's files. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! I attached a few different files, including one that I put through the YKCMP decompressor.

Update: figured it out! I found this Shin Hayarigami script and figured out that the swizzle type it's looking for in the header is 8 bytes off in this game's files. Altering a few ignore statements did the trick beautifully!
