I have tried to make a rebuilder script for quickbms, probably it's not very easy to use (because quickbms is a file extractor) but it seems to work:
http://aluigi.org/bms/msmixext_rebuilder.bms

It supports specifically the old method used by SBK99.

It must be used from command-line:

Code:

# Usage Example:
#   > cd c:\input_folder
#   > quickbms -w c:\thisfile.bms output.mix .

(remember the dot as last argument)
It will create the file output.mix that you have specified in the command-line into the current folder where are located all the files you want to put in the archive.
At the end of the process move output.mix in the game folder and try to run the game.

I don't know why it continues to give you that error because I tried it here with quickbms 0.7.7 and I had no issues.
Anyway what's important is that the folder is . (dot).
The final size of the mix archive will be like the size of the input folder plus few kilobytes.

The script doesn't use compression and there is no re-compression algorithm available.
Store mode wins.

Thanks.
Hopefully the next version of quickbms will have a better way to write (simple) rebuilding script, otherwise it's really a pain.

Yeah selecting one script, one input file and a folder is really very very complicated and requires a full training... (ok I switch off humor now, probably you were referring to the rebuilding script that is complicated because it's not the job of quickbms, and I already said that)
