These appear to be binary compiled files, so I'm not hopeful to get anything out, but any help is appreciated. I have included binMunge.exe, a compiling program used on the game's successors, Star Wars Battlefront 1/2 as it uses the same engine and may help in understanding this.

1) offzip ac1fil.bin out.dat
2) md output_folder
3) offzip -a out.dat output_folder

Yeah it's a sequence of compressed files in a compressed archive without index!

P.S.: note that some files are not compressed and so they will be not extracted.
Maybe the index is encrypted at the end. I will check that binmunge tool later.

Thanks! Looks like some of these deflate to formats I'm familiar with for these games, so it's definitely working. There may be a few files that haven't, then again it may just be that they're specific to this game and I just don't recognize them.

That binmunge.exe produces files that have nothing in common with those that you provided.

Ah, wasn't sure. It was the next iteration of the engine, but a lot changed in between those two games according to some ex-developers I talked to. I suppose it's not surprising, I was just sorta shooting from the hip.

Thank you, though for the .bin extraction script. Very useful for research on the game.
