I can't understand them too

So we have the OLS files that have an header like this:

Code:

While the dat look sometimes compressed (what algorithm?) and sometimes not, for example:

As you can see there is a common header for these 2 dat files and it's the same for all the DAT files.

I believe the 'ols' formats may contain the model data based on their size, and the listings within. The DAT files are most likely the texture archives, some of which may be compressed for memory preservation. The problem with the current extractor script of the VIV files is that it does not retrieve file names nor preserve folder structure, so it would be very difficult to discern what files go with each other.
