Hello everyone

I need help with the extraction and convertion of this file "COIN.BIN".

https://mega.nz/#F!pIswUAjZ!SI_ZLhtU7Kmo1sOFt2K9pA

I believe you use use a BMS script(choro.BMS) to split "COIN.BIN" into 1 and 2, which are model information in 1.dat and texture information on 2.dat. I request help on figuring out 2.dat.

thank you in advance

eddit 2: Thank you so much allen

Trying to understand 3 files left .E3d (2 files) and title.GSL

Received your email. I checked the file. Actually 1.dat contains some textures. I didn't find any textures in 2.dat. 2.dat should be a model file with a lot of floating point numbers in it.
Then I found out that textures are not fixed in a certain file. There is a sign that identifies it.

This is a Noesis script.

UPD: Add support 0x1040,0x1087
UPD2:Optimize the code

This is amazing, thank you! I was almost losing motivation and going with a emulator ripping way but this changed it.

Are you sure about the comment for the 1 and 2.dat? https://imgur.com/a/9y8iMSa

"I found out that textures are not fixed in a certain file" do you mean they always start after some constant value ~(tim header)?
if idstring!=0x1012:

After analyzing the current sample, yes.
This is an improved script that helps you identify textures (_tex) when extracting bin files.

Code:

# script for QuickBMS http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

get BIN_SIZE asize
get FOLDER basename
math i = 1 
for i
   get OFFSET long
   savepos TMP
   if OFFSET == BIN_SIZE
      break
   endif
   get NEXT_OFFSET long
   xmath SIZE "NEXT_OFFSET - OFFSET" 
   math tempOfs = OFFSET
   math tempOfs   2
   goto tempOfs
   get type SHORT
   If type == 0x1012
      string NAME p "%s\%d_tex.dat" FOLDER i
   #You can continue to add other types here, according to your needs. 
   #Elif type == 0x1000
   #   string NAME p "%s\%d_xxx.dat" FOLDER i
   #Elif type == 0xXXXX
   #   string NAME p "%s\%d_xxxx.mod" FOLDER i      
   Else
      string NAME p "%s\%d.dat" FOLDER i
   Endif
   log NAME OFFSET SIZE
   goto TMP
next i
