Not much i know about this other than that Frosty Editor can read and write it and that it got rid of .SB files in favour of a "manifest" of some kind for faster loading.

I don't have much knowledge on these sorts of things, but would like to extract the raw data for these games. Frosty works fine for SWBF2 as support was added properly but BFV can only be loaded with
the SWBF2 profile at the moment. Most things work fine, but the big thing that breaks is meshes. New format.
So i think getting the raw data may be the only way to get more or less everything at the moment.
All the current scripts are broken from what i know, and no one has attempted to update them since it was first introduced in a SWBF2 update.
Frosty is currently the only thing that can access the files of this new layout.

I don't think i can send samples right now due to file sizes and overall just lack of knowledge on what would need to be sent. So your best bet would be to download the game for yourself and look that
way for now im afraid. You can get a trial with Origin Access ATM so that might be a good way to get your hands on it.

And if you are successful, will you submit the SFX and voices to the Sounds Resource?

I can get those with Frosty.
It's just meshes i can't really access.

Good news.
Galaxyman2015, the developer of Frosty updated the old python script for extracting to the new layout and things are working fine.
I suspect the 3DS Max model importer script is borked though.

Could you upload the python script? I don't know how to find it. Thank you!

Needs python 2.7.6.
Dump chunks, EBX and RES seperately so it can actually dump everything.
I recommend dumping to the root of a drive in a subfolder so you have the shortest starting path possible.

Hey all.. I downloaded that new swbf2 bfv dumper bundle from discord (I'm hopeless with coding/scripts) .. installed Python 2.7.6.., right clicked 'Edit with IDLE' placed the bundle extract in my SWBF2 main directory (Not 'C:' or default 'Program Files'), pressed 'F5' and I get the following error!?:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\not relevant\STAR WARS Battlefront II\swbf2_bfv_dumper\Dump Scripts\swbf2_bfv_dumper.py", line 77, in

self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I have Win10 x64 & installed the x86 Python installer... Do I require a x32 Win10/OS to pull this off??

Cheers

try x64 version of python

or you could try the zstd.dll compiled for 32bit.

Had the same error, i think it's due to the recent patch (04/12). The layout file is different.

It will NOT work, the game is NOT supported at the moment by any script/tool.
