Hmm, writing a PhD-thesis is not an easy job, it takes time. Besides, I will need to have a look-see in the CBF files of the retail version to update it. As I said in a previous thread, I can't go around buying all games just to support them in MultiEx Commander! :wink: That would make me seriously broke! :errr:

Mr.Mouse. If you need the cbf files I would be more than willing to send them to you.
Also, what major is your phd thesis for?

I think sending them would be a problem right? I reckon these files are huge, so standard mailboxes won't accept them? Perhaps you can upload one or two (small ones) somwhere so I can download them?

I'm a moleculair biologist by trade, and I graduated in neurophysiology and medical physiology 4 years ago as a student of Biology. The last four years I have been working on elucidating a tiny part of the immune system of the brain as part of my PhD-project. I don't know what "major" that would be. Suffice it to say my thesis will make me PhD as a Moleculair and Genetics Neuroimmunologist. Because that's what I do. :eye:

all i have to say is... damn your smart.. i remember biology in high school.... photosynthesis and stuff like that.. that was hard enough.
with the files, i could zip them for you and open a share on my hard drive and let you get them off my machine.. get ahold of me on AIM: jpp3773 and ill give you the address and share name from which you can get them.. i am a huge vietcong fan and would love to start modding the game.. i am willing to do anything i can to help. i am a computer engineer major, so if you would like to explain the extraction process to me i could try and help you develope extraction scripts for new games.. peace

Hello !

Does the support of newb make you find some solution during your free time ?

It would be great if we can extract files from the cbf files !

Thanks for all your work !

Mr.Mouse: your website and use of the USA flag.

Post by An American » Tue Dec 28, 2004 10:36 am

I came here looking for info on the vc game cbf files. Its nice that you share your very own software.

[link removed]

You may be smarter than a turd but your political views are as skewed as one just stepped on. You are obviously too busy to actually read much or understand what is going on now in the world or the history of the world.

I assume you are Dutch? I hope you recognize that those perfectly good Native American "Indian" Symbols that were taken and used by Hitler you installed in our flag show how little you appreciate what America did for you during WWII. I do appreciate the support NL did give the US in the current conflicts. Perhaps your site is only a satire but it doesn't look that way. Frankly it is offensive even if funny, if that is how you really think of the US.

I suggest you climb down from your "ivory tower" and remove the stick it has impaled in a unmentionable area that is effecting your impression of the USA and its people including those whom may not have voted for our current leaders. It is our country not yours. If you don't like it I suggest you go live in a cave and wrap a towel around your head. Would you like me to create a site showing your countries gay political leader that was assassinated with those same symbols on your country's flag? If you want to be part of the blame America crowd you would fit right in with some of our local liberals. But I suggest you should see it and its people for yourself with an open mind and leave your preconceptions behind.

Do you recognize that the US has been fighting this war for years with the backing of the United Nations supporting the containment of Saddam Hussein while the UN officials were all the while sucking in millions of $$ from a corrupt oil for food program. Who do you think has been supplying weapons systems too these rouge states? Do you think the youth of IRAN really want to support their Billionaire Mullahs? Or our youth want to support our leaders?


Do you think we really like being there having our young men and older national guard in harms way? I may not agree with many things the US has been involved in either. However please realize if it wasn't for the USA your national language may have ended up being dictated to be either Deutsch or Russian.


Please reconsider your website design it is offensive to Americans. And looks like a beginning student of html created it.

"This
page is a strong verbal protest against American agression on the sovereign
countries
of the world. Their Neo-Imperialism and theft of other countries' resources
is an insult to humanity. "

Yes there is oil there as well as in the kingdom of SAUD where much money was made selling the USA oil and donation to madrassas where plenty of young boys are being taught to hate the US and all Westerners including you and that we should be irradicated. And perhaps the US should not support Israel or the Saudi Arabian Kingdom. Just where did you get lost on this? Israel became a reality due to what happened in Europe. History and News are effected by who writes it. Did you know that in Japan they are taught that the US attacked them and nothing about Pearl Harbor in school history.

Do you think the Arabs pushing the black Africans out of the Sudan is a respectable action either? Do you think we can stop everything in the world? Bill Clinton did nothing about Rwanda and sometimes there is little one can do, even a country must pick its battles.

No one is perfect, i.e. Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

( The report by the Netherlands' Institute for War Documentation accused political leaders of carrying out an "ill-conceived plan" to boost Dutch international prestige. Unprepared troops were sent on a "mission impossible" to defend about 30,000 refugees who fled Serb forces in the surrounding hills, it said. Some 200 lightly armed Dutch peacekeepers stood by as Mladic ordered Muslim men and women in Srebrenica separated. The women were deported and the men and boys were executed.

Last week's report said Dutch troops were hampered by orders not to fire unless fired upon, and the military command had not provided the mandate needed to respond to 1,500 Serb attackers. The United Nations had declared Srebrenica a "safe zone" for Muslim refugees without defining what that meant, the report said.

Dutch leaders failed to prevent the 1995 massacre of Muslims in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Ad van Baal stepped down after meetings with Defense Minister Frank de Grave, taking responsibility for mistakes made by military commanders that led to the massacre of 7,500 Muslim men and boys by Serb troops. )

I wish we could just all get along but when there foreign ppl that want to kill me I expect my government to do something about it. Incidentally the 19 9/11 highjackers were allowed to travel through IRAN with border guards receiving specific instructions "not" to have their passports stamped from higher Iranian authorities. I think we have a definate problem with Iraq's large neighbor's government. I would imagine that we should not have supported the Shah or many other worlds dictators and if had not it may not be in the state of government it is in today. But this support was related directly back to what happened in Europe in WWII and after.

However in this Iraq conflict
I repeat there were no inspectors there anymore and the corrupt UN that does nothing much but suck in money throught corruption only makes "resolutions" like paper Indian treaties that meant nothing while the USA actually enforced the no fly zone the last 10 years before this action.

You think we are there only for the oil then well you haven't learned much about the US or the World in all of that schooling. You think the biotech industry your in is clean and free of problems? Really please climb down from that Ivory Tower and remove that stick.

This is not the place for political comments, "An American".

This site has nothing to do with the one you linked to. As such, refrain from further comments here.

The link has been removed. If you wish to discuss politics, I'm sure there are other fora that would suit your needs in a better way.

Sorry to necro-post but I just wrote a script for those files, at least for the uncompressed *.cbf versions of Vietcong:

Code: Select all

# extract uncompressed Vietcong *.cbf files

IDSTRING "BIGF"
goto 0x4
get COM byte
if COM == 1
	cleanexit
else
	goto 0x10
	get FILES long
	get FILEINFO long
	goto FILEINFO

	for i = 1 <= FILES
		get OFFSET long
		get ZERO long
		get UNK1 long
		get UNK2 long
		get UNK3 long
		get SIZE long
		get ZERO long
		get UNK5 long
		get UNK6 long
		get UNK7 long
		get NAME string
		log NAME OFFSET SIZE
	
	next i
endif
