Hi guys! I need help with extraction files from .arch00 archives
Hounds The Last Hope is FPS MMO game with nice content and models, I extracted some models manually and going to make an import script for meshes. Though, I can extract archives properly. Many thanks in advance is someone will help with that

Here are some samples https://www.sendspace.com/file/st6w59

Well done.
I have updated my fear.bms to support the few changes of this archive that are limited only to the magic and the location of the fields in the header at the beginning.

Small note: I don't know why the fear.bms script was tagged as 0.6 on the website and was 0.5.1 itself, it was the updated one so I forgot to update the version in the script. Now it's 0.6.1.

Aluigi, could you please check this file? I extracted it using your fear BMS, it's a models file - but looks compressed. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if it's compressed, for sure it's not zlib or deflate or lzma.

Ah, understand. Maybe, a bit modified archive and script extracted files a bit incorrect?
Here's original .arch00 archive, just in case

EDIT: There's a 7z.dll in the root folder of the game - maybe it's 7zip?!

There is a readable header of 8 bytes so it has been correctly extracted.

Ah, okay that's sounds right. It was just a blind guess So, I guess those files just compressed with unknown method
