Kirby Rainbow Curse CMP format

[spamzilla]

Does anybody know of the CMP format used by Kirby and the Rainbow Curse? I tried some LZ decompressors and had no luck. I also tried Switch Toolbox and BRRES Viewer and it was the same.

You didn't attach a sample file, so it cannot be tested.

Oh here then...

Balloon.bfres.7z

You can decompress data with offzip http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/offzip.zip

offzip.exe -a Balloon.bfres.cmp

Offzip seems to work but all I'm getting are some .FRE files that are unfamiliar to me. In the hex editor, the header is "FRES" and there are some more entries such as "FMDL", "FVTX", and "FSKL"

If you rename the decompressed file to .BFRES it will open in Switch Toolbox:

I need to mention that I was able to decompress and examine all the models in the "bg", "character", "deco", and "demo" folders. I ran into a problem though when checking the "map" folder. The first 3 models all crashed Switch Toolbox. There was a generic "unhandled exception" .NET dialog box.

Hi - just pointing out that amiibo.bms also works just fine for these files.
