An interesting file format that may be used also in other games.
I tested only the PS3 version:

There will be no progress because there are no problems.
The script doesn't support reimporting as written in the error message.

Script not valid for reimporting.

Recently another user suggested this tool that "seems" to support reimporting/rebuilding:

Hi Aluigi,

And could you make an another, new script, what is recompressing the exported files with the same compression algorythm to the new file? Not reimport, but recompress.
Then i am trying reinject the recompressed data into the original file with hand (manually) with help of Hex editor.
Maybe success

Thank you

Good For Get Texture and Data...
PC and PS3 are same Data, But in different Headers (Block in Header)

Script Is totally in a wrong way
Mafia 2 has Raw File in SDS, like any other game. dds or fsb are under this Raw files, like assassins creed or Unreal Engine

i think Script must be rewrite, and then. we must edit files in Hex or make other scripts for different raw Files.
already, there is a tool for PC, but a lot of Guy has problem in PS3

(i just said this thing for some other guys who dont know about PS3 SDS, Maybe someone will need it)

Anyone?

I would like translate this file for xbox360 and Ps3

Thank you

Maybe a script, which convert the ps3 or xbox header and other references to pc version (big endian?)
Then i try this new file with the pc tool.
and after the translate, the script reconvert the header and references to ps3 or xbox version.
