I've been using a script that allowed me to extract the PAC file from this game and have been able to go about translating a good portion of the text in the game. But i have not been able to reach any meaningful textures, models, etc because they seem to be encased in a load of uff archives. I have no idea where to go from here, as any googling about the format comes up with nothing related. If i can get a usable texture format then i can convert them to bmps and edit them around to reimport. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JCmu9B ... sp=sharing

Bumping because the textures themselves show up in hex editor as presumably a palette image but i have no idea how to go about getting them out from these uff files.

I'm bumping again because i have completed the translation and am currently using a pcsx2 plugin to replace textures instead of replacing them in the files. If anyone can take a look into these uff files, I would appreciate it so this translation can be run on official hardware.

Since the index of the archive is "text" (one line for each entry) you can't use the reimport feature of quickbms with it.
So I can't help with both the problems.

Well, i have the textures dumped from GSdx-EX, is there anyway to inject them into the .uff files?

If you keep the same size of the edited files you can definitely try reimport.bat.
It acts as a raw injector, while reimport2 is the one that also edits the index table for better results (not applicable here).

I can try, i might be misinformed, but i cant do anything without a script

What about the script you included in the sample?

That only works for extracting the main .pac file. not for the .uff archives that are stored further in that i need access to.

OP, if you're still watching this thread, I've just made a "quick, dirty, but somewhat correct" UFF extraction script:

Code:

IDString "UFF File"
get UNK long
get ZERO long

get NAME_ENTRY_OFF long
get ZERO long
get NAME_ENTRY_SZ long
get ZERO long
savepos ENTRY_INFO_OFF

goto NAME_ENTRY_OFF
get ENTRY_NUM long

for i = 0 < ENTRY_NUM
   get NAME string
   putarray 0 i NAME
next i

goto ENTRY_INFO_OFF

get UNK_ENTRY_OFF long
get ZERO long
get UNK_ENTRY_SZ long
get ZERO long

get FILE_ENTRY_OFF long
get ZERO long
get FILE_ENTRY_SZ long
get ZERO long

goto FILE_ENTRY_OFF
get FILES long

for i = 0 < FILES
   get NAME_ARRAY_NUM long
   getarray NAME 0 NAME_ARRAY_NUM
   get UNK long
   get OFFSET long
   get SIZE long
   get ZERO long
   log NAME OFFSET SIZE
next i
