Script for Quickbms - supports "Dark Souls Remastered" dcx, bnd, tpf, and chrtpfbdt/chrtpfbhd pairs.
*script updated Feb 27, 2019*

I need more samples, BND3 files from your samples don't have compressed data, so I can't determine which field is the size and which is de compressed size.
Anyway, test tool (extraction only) works with your samples, but without more samples I can go on.

See new version below.

How to Delutto success with import????

Very nice! Only a few considerations:
In BND3 format, the field before FILES can be 0x70 instead 0x74, in this case file structure doesn't have the last field "ZSIZE", by the way I check all game files and found none BND3 file with compressed data.
In TPF files, the field after Magic is the DataBlock size, sum of the all data.

Updated version: full extraction and convertion of the all data know.

Not implemented yet. I got bored, maybe I'll just make a FMG tool for texts, so you can use the Acewell script to reimport.

Hi, thanks for the script, but it don?t seem to work with most of the DCX and TPF files from the game,could you take a look at them? i uploaded some samples, hopefully these files aren?t very different from the others with the same extension.

Samples: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2u6wv6psi6vapkz/DSR_file_smaples.rar/file

your dcx samples are very different from the ones posted before, they are missing the header
but they do look compressed and each likely contains data for only a single texture judging by
the file size and file name.
my script never had support for the chrtpfbdt and chrtpfbhd pairs included in your samples,
i could probably make a script for that too though.

There's no such files on game. Your samples are not from Remastered, probably are from Prepare to Die Edition, which is not the subject of this thread.

Thanks, a script for those chrtpfbdt files would be much apreciated, also,if you don?t mind, i would like to ask you about the textures from this game,
I extracted some textures that are in DDS format, i can open and edit it using photoshop with Intel DDS plugin, but i can?t find a way to save it back and reuse ingame.
these textures seems to be in DXT5 or DXT1 format in BC3 compression with 32Bpp,and have a DX10 header.
I tried to save it with NVIDIA Photoshop plugin , and Intel plugin too but there?s no option for such specifications.
Intel plugin has an option for save as DX10 textures but only with 8bpp,but by saving like that don?t work in the game, it causes graphical glitches or even crash the game.
So i would like to ask,do you know of any plugin or tool that alows to save DDS textures with DX10 header, in BC3 compression with 32bpp? I also tested gimp DDS plugin, Noesis and Nvidia texture tool, but so far i had no luck.

I uploaded 2 textures samples, a normal map and a cubemap, if you interested in take a look.

And why i would bring samples from an older version of the game,LOL? Just because you couldn?t find them ,doesn?t mean those files aren?t there, mate.
Besides one can easily extract any file from Prepare to die using Binder tool and Gibbed?s toolset. Or, even better,could use DSModt to directly mod that game.
Anyways , "chrtpfbdt" files are inside the "chr" folder in main directory of the game ,their pairs "chrtpfbhd" files are inside "chrbnd.dcx" files, you need to extract them to reach it, headerless DCX files containing compressed texture data, are scattered there too.

It's true, the chrtpfbdt/chrtpfbhd files are integral for the textures of the larger models. A large amount of them use these files. Bindertool doesn't seem to work with them this time around.

the BinderTool already works to extract your samples:
https://github.com/Atvaark/BinderTool/releases

but here is also an updated bms script that can decompress
the dcx and then you can extract files from the msgbnd with it.

texconv.exe should be able to build your dx10 headers with the -dx10 switch.
