Hi folks!

I'm back from my vacation and want to finish a script for the above game's *.hog files ("WART3.0" identifier). The problem once again is an unknown compression method. So far, the script only extracts the compressed files as [filename].comp.
Here's an example archive (Xbox version) and the script: http://s8m3kjliho.1fichier.com/
If more samples are needed, I can provide them.
Thanks for any help!

Regards, Timo

I used my compression scanner with one of the files that seems to contain just german text (so easy to guess if it's correctly decompressed) by removing the first 4 bytes, but no good results.

Could it be LZ4?

WART3.00 has been recently supported in my script:
http://aluigi.org/bms/wart3_hps.bms

The compression algorithm was dbpf, also known as xrefpack0

The script doesn't work anymore on *.HOG archives from this game ^^

Well, as soon as you have found a way of making the sound files playable, will you submit them to www.sounds-resource.com if you please? You'd be doing a great service.

Are you sure that file is not corrupted?
The NAME_OFF fields are all wrong.
Doesn't have sense that an archive store wrong name offsets.

the name offsets make sense if you start right where the folder names end.
the size of the folder name index and file name index is stored in the header.

i can't really work with file cutted samples so this is all i can give

Code:

# script for QuickBMS http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

idstring "\x57\x41\x52\x54\x33\x2e\x30\x30"
get FILES long
get STR_TABLE_OFF long
get NAME_TABLE_SZ long
get FOLDER_TABLE_SZ long
for i = 0     get OFFSET long
    get UNK long //??
    get SIZE long
    get CRCx long //??
    get NAME_OFFSET long
    get FOLDER_OFFSET long
    savepos TMP
    xmath STR_OFF "STR_TABLE_OFF   FOLDER_TABLE_SZ   NAME_OFFSET"
    goto STR_OFF
    get NAME string
    xmath FOLDER_OFF "STR_TABLE_OFF   FOLDER_OFFSET"
    goto FOLDER_OFF
    get FOLDER string
    string NAME p "%s%s" FOLDER NAME 
    log NAME OFFSET SIZE
    goto TMP
next i

edit
well i guess my UNK is a ZSIZE according to aluigis script, i can not confirm
compression with filecutted samples so my script doesn't handle that yet.

Script 0.2.1:

It worked perfectly. Thank you aluigi and Acewell.

Turns out it worked for most of the files but still getting an error for other HOG archives.

The error is at line 41 get NAME string.

Samples: https://mega.nz/#!O08hxKCB!Ht9K7Ml8C262 ... XXMQeVIUdE

The archive can be extracted with Alpha23's script but with compressed files :

Code:

# extracts the *.hog archives from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (GC/PS2)
# (c) 2014-07-24 by AlphaTwentyThree of XeNTaX
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org

idstring "WART3.00"
get TEST byte
if TEST == 0
   endian big
endif
goto 8
get FILES long
get NAMEINFO long
get SIZE_NAMES long
get UNK long
get SIZE_FOLDERS asize
math SIZE_FOLDERS -= SIZE_NAMES
math SIZE_FOLDERS -= NAMEINFO
get OFF_NAMES asize
math OFF_NAMES -= SIZE_NAMES
append
log MEMORY_FILE NAMEINFO SIZE_FOLDERS
log MEMORY_FILE2 OFF_NAMES SIZE_NAMES
append
for i = 1 <= FILES
   get OFFSET long
   get ZSIZE long
   get SIZE long
   get CRC long
   get OFF_NAME long
   get OFF_FOLDER long
   savepos MYOFF
   goto OFF_FOLDER MEMORY_FILE
   get FOLDER string MEMORY_FILE
   goto OFF_NAME MEMORY_FILE2
   get FNAME string MEMORY_FILE2
   goto MYOFF
   set NAME FOLDER
   string NAME  = FNAME
   if ZSIZE == 0
      if SIZE != 0
         log NAME OFFSET SIZE
      endif
   else
      string NAME  = ".comp"
      log NAME OFFSET ZSIZE
   endif
next i

Thanks in advance.

Script 0.2.2.

Basically the problem was that exist 2 versions of this format and there is no easy way to know what version is used, I changed the "guessing" method and now it works.

@Warthog1336
Hi relating to the same topic do you know how to open the files once extracted such as the BMSH files and BTGA files also???

Thanks in advance
