Hello everyone, I'm currently working on porting the translation of Need for Speed Pro Street from PC to PS3. Upon inspecting the files, I noticed that the PC version doesn't have files in containers like the PS3 version does.

While tinkering with the game files, I observed that the .bin files are compressed in some way, and this compression is undone by a file named zdir.bin. I've even found a tool capable of visualizing the game directories by reading this zdir.bin, but unfortunately, it only extracts and doesn't insert files back.

I've noticed that this zdir.bin calls two files: NAMES.HOO, which contains the list of .bin containers, and dat.bin, which seems to be the key to opening these containers. Given my limited programming experience, I need help extracting and reinserting files.

I got a bms script that I extracted, now I need help repacking it.

 

zdirbms.rar

no need to repack, the game should work with the extracted files
