Hey guys, I am completely new to the Hex Editing and QuickBMS! I love the program, however I am completely lost when It comes to creating my own scripts. I'm not asking for handouts but I was hoping maybe someone could give me some advice/point me in the direction of some good videos for Exporting files from an .ESF Archive. I use scripts that people have generated in the past to export items, characters and map files as .3ds files. However, I was hoping to get Images, sound files and maybe animation files if possible. But I don't have a clue where to start. Thanks!

The script you provided seems to consider the files as 3d images (.3ds extension) while the archive you provided contains PS adpcm audio data, maybe it's a video and what I recognize is the audio track.

The following script extract the files "as-is" but I don't think it may be useful:
Code:
idstring "FJBO"
get VER long
goto 0x30
get OFFSET long
get FILES long
math OFFSET 0x44
goto OFFSET
get FILES long
for i = 0 < FILES
    get OFFSET long
    get ZERO long
    get SIZE long
    get SOME_CRC long
    log "" OFFSET SIZE
next i

The example script I supplied is a script I've used to extract .3ds files in the past which explains the confusion with .3ds files. I don't know a whole lot about this stuff so I wasn't sure if the script I provided was useful in any way for extracting the audio files. But I was hoping to maybe get those audio files as a .wav or something? If thats possible?

Apparently there is some "data" before the PS adpcm data in each file and I don't know how to skip it and every extracted file contain multiple adpcm tracks.
It's possible to do the job by hand, at least finding where the main adpcm data starts but I don't think I'm the best person to help with audio data.
