NFS Shift .BML and .BM* files

Hello, NFS Shift has lots of .BML and other .BMx, they looks like a binary version (compiled) of plain XML files. I have attached 2 of them inside the RAR archive. Can you, reverse engineering experts, take a look at them and give us the file structure so we can modify those files? Changes made to t...

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

Indeed, though apparently you cannot mod the races/maps as they will not repack. So for so things unpacking everything is the only way... unless someone knows how to use the partial pack argument and it does what it sounds like? I also cannot get IGPHASEACTIVATE.bff to repack, notsure if thats a bu...

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

Ooops, my fault :scaredy:

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

Hi guys, good news, I just did (I guess :D) There's a DDS texture changed (where it reads Adrenaline) for the Mazda MX5. http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7918/shift2009092713061743tn.th.jpg http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6876/shift2009092713060594tn.th.jpg http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4716/shi...

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

I'm not sure if it's a repacker problem or some kind of protection against file modification, or maybe the game it's just expecting compressed files, albeit file's compression flag set to uncompressed in infotable. I did successfully repacked the archive using the original/compressed files, maybe I ...

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

No.. the problem is there even unpacking original BFF file and repacking the extracted files with the repack program into my_Mazda_MX5.bff. Then copy the newly build file in to the corresponding folder of the game rename the original file to *.old and then rename the new file to the Mazda_MX5.bff (...

Re: NfS Shift .BFF files

Added files will not be considered because the script will rely on the original BFF nametable and repack only the files contained there, deleted ones will throw an error instead. Sqwall, I tried repacking the same file and got the same error, the pointed BFF uses a 4 letters extension (bfont) and th...
