Does QuickBms even allow being called on singular files instead of directories? I have spent an afternoon/evening today working on a few scripts that would let me automate the conversion process with correctly determining interleave size for each file but when I call quickbms on each file separately...

Thanks for the tools, aluigi. They worked great on the game's music files. I've been wondering, though, if the quality of the output files is somehow managed by the fsbext tool or if they are simply extracted "as is", because they are rather low quality (~ 160 kpbs MP3).

Hi Zench, and thanks again for your tool. A quick one -- Does it support Prince of persia 2008 .forge files? I'm dying to be able to extract the music from the game.

Well it's not that unsual. Sometimes games store the directory to their archives in another file, usually with the same name, but a different file extension. Yes, that would be the indexing information, but you'd still need the file headers themselves (unless, of course, the data really is consolid...

Hmm, from a programmer's standpoint, I can see little point in storing file headers in a place different from the data itself -- that sort of beats the purpose of a header. So I guess they must have somehow consolidated the format. However, they still need to be able to quickly traverse the files' c...

Yeah, there's no real file format to figure out. You need to know the codec and the parameters to get along. But thanks for your offer, we need programmers here :) btw: used to C++? Try D! :wink: Does that means that it's not certain that the game uses the same audio codec that OrangeC was talking ...

Hi guys, any luck yet? I was thinking about offering a helping hand (working professionally as a C++ programmer), but there's a catch -- I'm very little skilled when it comes to "decrypting" file formats. I had small and nifty handbook somewhere around here, so I might try to have a look i...

Hi Zench, thanks a million for the tool. It really made my day yesterday. :) However, I tried to apply it on the music from the PC version of the first Splinter Cell game and, sadly, scanning gave no results... :( Is that game not supported? Sorry if I ask something that's been answered elsewhere, I...

I really hate bugging you guys, but is there really no one able to find out if something (usable) can be gotten out of the .ss0/.sm0 files in SC:DA? I guess it IS difficult considering that I have yet to see a music/sound extractor for the first two releases of Splinter Cell, but maybe, just maybe, ...

I'm trying to determine the relation between the large sound files in SCDA-Offline\Sounds (.ss0, .sm0) and the small ones (.et0, .sp0). I *guess* the small ones are probably indices to the large files, but I find kinda strange that the large files do not contain any traces of headers of OGG files (w...

Umm, is that for the textures or the sounds/music? I'm far more interested in the sounds...

But thanks anyway.

(Also, sorry for the -- sort of -- hijack of this thread. I didn't want to create a new one since I saw that one dedicated to SC: Double Agent still occupies the first page.)

(Bumpity doo)

Nobody interested or able? I think the single player demo should suffice as a test subject, although it amounts to quite massive ~850 MB.

Anyone considering trying to extract the music from SC:DA? I'd LOVE to get my hands on that, but although I'm a programmer myself, I have next to no experience with this. If anyone would be able to get the music out of those .ss0 files, that'd ROCK! :D The files are too large to be attached here, bu...

And is there a description of the algorithm the tool you used uses? I'm interested in just that, the (de)compression algorithm.

Definitely. The sample is in EA's .asf format and it was extracted using my own extractor. I just want to know if Valery's old description still applies to Carbon. As I said in my original post, I can handle extraction without any problems but when I attempt to decompress the files, the results are ...
