Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone is able to help with the contents of RPK files that are used in Rule of Rose for PS2?

I have attached a sample (zipped) file, that I'm hoping maybe someone could help with?

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide!

Horrible nested archives inside archives... but it works

Sorry to be a bother but apparently some of the different rpk files are structured differently. See attached for another example - much simpler I think. But I don't know enough to know how to tailor the script to each situation unfortunately. I'm trying to learn as much as I can!

Script 0.2 that should work better even with MOTIONPK.RPK

Interesting. That was able to extract some pieces of data, but for some reason I am getting this result:

C:\bms>quickbms c:\bms\rule_of_rose_rtpk-2.bms c:\bms\premiere.rpk c:\bms\output4\

Check your disk space

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
66 log NAME OFFSET SIZE

Do you know why this might be? Disk Space definitely isn't an issue.

A stupid typo in the name of a variable RPK_SIZE -> TPK_SIZE
Fixed in 0.2.1

Perfect. Thank you!!!

Ok one more question. It looks like the script extracts the files "too deep" - meaning it creates folders for certain files "alx.mdl" and then has data pieces inside that folder, but I'm wondering if the file itself is alx.mdl. Is there any way around this?

Thanks!

This is the file in question:

What you get from the script is the maximum possible.
If it's an RTPK archive it gets parsed, otherwise it gets extracted as-is

There are a lot of files and I can't find the text files to translate... can you tell me if it's possible to translate this game? if so, can you tell me where the game texts are?

Bump.
Someone on Twitter named Murugo has figured out what the i3d format is.
The textures are all .tm2 format. So if you rename the extensionless extracted files from rpk's they will immediately have thumbnails. It's best to convert those to tga from Noesis.

I've tried searching every corner of github and forums about i3d but I have no clue as to how these are compressed/encrypted. They don't have their regular content because Giants Editor won't open them either.

In case anyone is wondering. I've asked Murugo on Discord and he has added his tool on Github. Thanks to Murugo the format can now be converted to obj. https://github.com/Murugo/Misc-Game-Research
You need to install Python and install numpy within that. After you're done, you can simply drag and drop the rpk's into the extractor and drag and drop the mdl files into the mdl2obj.
Vertex color and armatures are not yet to be extracted. For environments especially it's the lighting that seems to be baked into vertex color. So we're still missing out on some cool looking shading.

That is amazing man!
I already extracted a few models with those scripts, it was a little bit confusing at first but now I understand the whole process.
Thank you for sharing the info and please send a big Thanks to Murugo!
