Hi, i have some *.pak archives that aren't compressed and i'm hoping someone can unpack the files with names and extensions.

Samples

Code:

Thanks for any help!

*update*
so far the best solution is to use QuickBMS to split the pak files at header byte patterns with this script
viewtopic.php?p=10024#p10024

for msh models
A1 03 C2 F8

for stx (dds) textures
53 54 58 00

Chaotic and complex format, I pass.

Where exactly do those offsets go in the script? Into "if NEXT_OFFSET" part?

You replace a1b2 with whatever you are looking for in the file.

for models

Code:

findloc OFFSET binary "\xA1\x03\xC2\xF8"
do
    goto OFFSET
    get DUMMY long
    findloc NEXT_OFFSET binary "\xA1\x03\xC2\xF8" 0 ""
    if NEXT_OFFSET == ""
        get SIZE asize
    else
        math SIZE = NEXT_OFFSET
    endif
    math SIZE -= OFFSET
    log "" OFFSET SIZE
    math OFFSET = NEXT_OFFSET
while NEXT_OFFSET != ""

for textures

Code:

findloc OFFSET binary "\x53\x54\x58\x00"
do
    goto OFFSET
    get DUMMY long
    findloc NEXT_OFFSET binary "\x53\x54\x58\x00" 0 ""
    if NEXT_OFFSET == ""
        get SIZE asize
    else
        math SIZE = NEXT_OFFSET
    endif
    math SIZE -= OFFSET
    savepos TMP
    goto OFFSET
    getdstring DUMMY 0x40
    getdstring NAME 40
    goto TMP
   string NAME   ".stx"
   log NAME OFFSET SIZE
    math OFFSET = NEXT_OFFSET
while NEXT_OFFSET != ""

Are you still looking for characters? if so i guess you didn't read my last post on FP..

It might have gotten buried (you only get an e-mail for the first reply since your last visit). Characters aren't the only thing I'm looking for though: the SWBFII world models can only be done in so many configurations when you make a map, so I'd like to try extracting a few environment models from this game and using them in SWBF2 (IE to recreate an Invisible Hand map)
