Anyone can make a QuickBMS plugin for extract files in SRS ".ar" files? In "Game Directory\Data\archive.ar". I found a plugin for PS2 but It's not working with PC files

The script for the CDFILES.DAT/archives.ar files is:

Thank you Now can you make a QuickBMS plugin for extract ".arc" files inside the "archives.ar" file?

No, I extracted files inside Street Racing Syndicate "archive.ar" with your QuickBMS plugin and extracted files are ".arc" files. Can you make a plugin for extract it? By the way, there is ".ogg" files in archive. I think this files are parted like Winrar.

That second script I linked is just meant for the archives extracted from the original archive, have you tried it?
This is the info in the first script:

Code:

#   Usually the extracted files are archives that must be extracted with this script:

Wow, It's working but I need more plugin for SRS's ".ogg", ".dc5", ".lda", ".mdl", ".sdp", ".spe" and ".snd" files. Why there is no tool for this game

The trick is not thinking to it as a "standalone game", think to it as a framework.
Try using the following keywords on Google and then search the games that use this framework on the same forums because I'm sure people have already made tools for one or more these games and they can work on SRS too:
namco_games_ar.bms site:zenhax.com
namco_games_ar.bms site:xentax.com
nascar2011.bms site:zenhax.com
nascar2011.bms site:xentax.com
nascar_2013_arcc_files.bms site:zenhax.com
nascar_2013_arcc_files.bms site:xentax.com

Eh lot of results, lot of fun for you

CDFILES.DAT and ARCHIVES.AR must be in the same directory.

Try open the CDFILES.DAT instead.

Via bms script? Or open with something else? Same error.

Yes, via bms script.
If there are still error, post your CDFILES.DAT here (Just that one).

Works fine to me.

Try updating your QuickBMS (latest one is 0.12.0)

Yeah, just updated to latest and works fine.
I have exported AR file and ARC files too, is that possible to get models and textures from this game? There is compressed png and models without extension.

No idea about models but there are DDS file inside the nested arc file for the textures. Try asking/finding around in XeNTaX or other places for the models.

I used BMS to get the numerous files like .dat and .arc files. I guess the textures are within the .arc files however when I try to use different arc file extractors it gives me the same error message.
Just trying to access the games vinyls..
