Need for Speed: Undercover (PC) .BIN / .BUN / .LZC

[mrmaller1905]

Has anyone tried to reverse Need for Speed: Undercover BINs BUNs and LZCs? GEOMETRY.BIN and LZCs have custom compression. I would like to request to start a new tool that decompresses GEOMETRY.BIN and LZCs and new plugin to import GEOMETRY.BIN. Game is powered by EAGL.

I don’t know if this has any effect.

Ok, worked, I got a 1.65 MB vpa file (binary with strings, see below) from gameplay.lzc

Using Aluigi's script on that vpa file gives another 219 extracted files.
