the compression message is a bug in quickbms, I'm fixing it.
I will release the new version tomorrow because I want also to find a way to compress the zlib and deflate data more.

oh I was forgetting: avoid to use quickbms64_test, it's only for special cases because it's working is not guarantee

new version out of both quickbms and the script: http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#quickbms http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/crysis2.bms anyway note that I have not tested it with this specific game because I don't have space and time to waste with the almost 2gb of nigel but keep in mind that there are big ...

good news, within some hours I will release a fixed version of quickbms for doing the reimporting job. the problem was simply caused by the xxtea algorithm implemented in the tool that didn't performed the swapping of the data and a bug in the key. with this new version will be also no longer needed...

well I explain the situation also here so anyone else interested can read it. from version 0.4.9 quickbms has the -r option that allows to reimport the modified files back in the archives (yeah!) but this feature works only with the scripts and the archives that allow it. in crysis2.bms I have used ...

I did it, shoot it in quickbms:

the algorithm is rc4 plus 0x300 rounds before doing the decryption

for anyone interested I remember that I maintain a list of games zip password retrieved by myself and I just updated it yesterday after having downloaded various trials from bigfishgames and other websites (I used some keywords to know the games using passworded zips): http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#i...

@merlinsvk the executables of the games on bigfishgames are encrypted with armadillo but in this case the problem was hge.dll compressed with upx. so after having unpacked hge.dll you can scan it with signsrch without problems :) anyway the password of Aztec Tribe is {0D8FD1A3-DEBF-4ef2-8A91-CDB0A10...

I have released a script for decrypting and extracting the mpdemo/nigel archive.
it's an uncommon zip archive encrypted with a particular tea:
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/crysis2.bms

I have just released the new version of the tool as I promised, now you can extract the archives:
http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#quickbms

isn't simpler to search the name of each game followed by site:xentax.com on google and then checking the results to know if exist extractors?
example: Soul Calibur 3 site:xentax.com

I have just released version 0.4.9 of QuickBMS which contains a feature that will make happy a lot of people :) from now it's possible to use QuickBMS also for reimporting files back in the archives without modifying the original script, so just an automatic inverted operation. obviously there are s...
