Well, I know these somehow contain the texture files for boss creatures in Dark Souls. Specifically this pack is for Bed of Chaos. The problem is no one has managed to extract them properly for whatever reason and little research has gone into them. If we can manage this, Dark Souls file formats will be almost entirely finished.

I have just updated my script to version 0.1.3 and now it should work correctly with this format:

Sorry for the necropost. I tried to extract various .chrtpfbdt archives from Dark Souls 1 using the above script, but the Command Line always gives me the follow error:

- error in src\file.c line 247: fdnum_open()
Error: No such file or directory

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
27 open FDDE "bhd5"

sample .chrtpfbdt file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/2optluyq ... .chrtpfbdt

There are two other files in the same folder:

c4110.anibnd.dcx (Skeleton and Animations)
c4110.chrbnd.dcx (Mesh files)

Are they small (index files) or big (archives)?
Honestly the format is quite complex so I don't think I'm going to spend time on this, but it's better to have all the info just in case.

dcx files are archives, in this case both files are around 800Kb. It's okay, since someone made tools for extraction some time ago, but i was asking because those tools rely on xml files for each archive and there aren't xml files supplied for all of them.
