I was using QuickBMS with the Namco Museum script to rip from Namco Museum Remix, when you run the initial Lempel-Ziv-Stac file through QuickBMS it gives you a raw data file with a header of VCRAZ. Yes, I have decompressed the raw data file with QuickBMS by running it through the program a second time, but I want to know if you can compress VCRAZ files. Does anyone know if this may be a U8 archive? Thanks in advance

This script can compress the VCRA file into SLZ (I don't remember what's the original extension):

Code:

comtype lzss0_compress

get SIZE asize
clog MEMORY_FILE2 0 SIZE SIZE
get ZSIZE asize MEMORY_FILE2

log MEMORY_FILE 0 0
putdstring "SSZL" 4 MEMORY_FILE
put 0 long MEMORY_FILE
put ZSIZE long MEMORY_FILE
put SIZE long MEMORY_FILE

get NAME filename
string NAME   ".slz"
log NAME 0 16 MEMORY_FILE
append
log NAME 0 ZSIZE MEMORY_FILE2
append

While if you need to edit the VCRA file, try the reimport feature while running namco_museum.bms.

Wait, I need to pack the folder as one big file. Is there some way to do this that I'm missing?

You can use reimport2.bat for that job.

Hey I'm sorry for making this a long topic, but will you publish that .lzs compression script on the QuickBMS website? I am making a program that quickly extracts the files of Namco Museum Remix and it uses the original namco_museum.bms script and the script you replied to this post with. Thanks for the help!

It's a simple script so I guess I will leave it here in the post without indexing it on the quickbms homepage.
Very happy of your project
