So the rainbow_studios.bms script works with most of the .soi files but there is one file that for some reason whenever i try to extract it just gives me two .dat files with a 000000 and a 000001 code or something like that the file contains textures that i would like to edit, could someone maybe take a look at this file and help me extract it properly maybe?

here is the file i'm trying to extract: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WhFAw9 ... sp=sharing

Thank you very much, but is there a way to repack the .dds files back in the .soi file?
it's needed by the game and i wanna edit the textures and then repack them to the .soi file
i'm not really experienced with neosis, but i managed to unpack them, i just don't know how to repack them

i suppose a bms script would be better for reimport the dds.
which platform did the sample file come from?

The file comes from the Xbox 360 version of the game
i have used a BMS Script called rainbow_studios.bms the script works for most of the files like this one, but this specific file doesn't wanna reimport or export properly

Here is what QuickBMS shows me whenever i try to either extract or reimport: https://gyazo.com/cf3c190d76ecf5d37273e47cded1a801

here is a bms extraction script version of the python script posted before,
it should reimport but i make no promises, game modding is not my area. :)
