fsb_mpeg and FsbExtractor cannot unpack all data. (fsb_mpeg extract one incorrect file with first header, FsbExtractor extract one or some small part files with not fully corrected options)

[kilik]

any news

[Gh0stBlade]

Bumping this.

[lionheartuk]

I'm also very interested in the music to this game.
I purchased the official soundtrack and even have the tracks from the composers official website (recommended, not from soundtrack and also... he's giving it free) but there are quite a few tracks simply not in either of those places, the Japanese Chanting after the first base camp for example.

[Axsis]

Mul files are very similar to Deus Ex 3 muls - every mul contain several fsb files (1-6) in which there are mono mp3 files (in PC version) - but with new starting offset to data (0x2000), so old tools doesn't work.
To extract one stereo track you should do this conversions - mul -> 2x fsb -> 2x mp3(mono) -> mp3(stereo).
Another problem is that music in TR is dynamic - there are 730+ files in "pc-w\audio\streams\music\" so manual conversion will be long & painful...
Next pain is that in fsb files there are names of mp3 samples, but these names are truncated to 29 chars. Sometimes when you extract left and right mp3s from two fsbs using fsb_mpeg it will overwrite one mp3 with another due to identical truncated names. To prevent this, you should move fsb files in different dirs or rename first mp3 (left) before extracting second (right).
Anyways, if anyone still want to convert some muls to mp3s here is the script:

Code: Select all

# MUL demuxing script v0.2 by Axsis
# Format description from Gibbed.DeusEx3.Demux/Program.cs by Rick
Endian little
Set EXT string "fsb"
Set START_OFFS long 0x2000

Get FSIZE asize
Get NAME basename
GoTo 0x0C
Get STREAMS long
PutVarChr MEMORY_FILE FSIZE 0
For S = 0 < STREAMS
 Print "Unpacking stream %S%/%STREAMS%"
 Log MEMORY_FILE 0 0
 Math STREAM_SIZE = 0
 Math OFFS = START_OFFS
 Do
  GoTo OFFS
  Get SEGMENT_TYPE long
  Get SEGMENT_SIZE long
  GetDString DUMMY 8
  #Print "STYPE:%SEGMENT_TYPE%;   SSIZE:%SEGMENT_SIZE%"
  If SEGMENT_TYPE == 0
   For B = 0 < STREAMS
    Get BLOCK_SIZE long
    Get BLOCK_STREAM long
    GetDString DUMMY 8
    #Print "\tBSIZE:%BLOCK_SIZE%;   BSTRM:%BLOCK_STREAM%"
    If BLOCK_STREAM == S
     SavePos OFFS
     Append
     Log MEMORY_FILE OFFS BLOCK_SIZE
     Append
     Math STREAM_SIZE += BLOCK_SIZE
    EndIf
    GoTo BLOCK_SIZE 0 SEEK_CUR
   Next B
  Else
   #Print "STYPE:%SEGMENT_TYPE%;   SSIZE:%SEGMENT_SIZE%"
   GoTo SEGMENT_SIZE 0 SEEK_CUR
  EndIf
  SavePos OFFS
  Math OFFS x= 0x10
 While OFFS < FSIZE
 String FNAME p= "%s_stream%u.%s" NAME S EXT
 Log FNAME 0 STREAM_SIZE MEMORY_FILE
Next S

fsb_mpeg is here: http://hcs64.com/vgm_ripping.html (but i think you already have it, if you're reading this topic ) run it with -p 16 to set padding (fsb_mpeg.exe blablabla.fsb -p 16)

PS: Probably will work with X360 muls - just change first two lines to "Endian big" and "Set EXT string "xma"" but I didn't tested.

PS2: Should also work with DeusEx3 if change "Set START_OFFS long 0x2000" to "Set START_OFFS long 0x800"

Test bms script and found next:
Very cutted fsbs from mul files, specially with bigs. Example - alexpinneddown.mul(15.3 MB (16 112 928 byres)) -> 2 fsbs with size 0,98 MB (1 034 400 bytes).

Possible reason - looking FSB4(46 53 42 34) identificator or something.

[Axsis]

It's because in mul files also contains in-game cinematics and audio track for it. If quickbms exits without error, try to convert those fsb - they should be ok.

[tpcrew]

Wow! Axsis, excellent work!

just a question, how I can convert the files fsb massively??

Thanks.

[Researchman]

Simple batch file for mass converting(variant):

Code: Select all

FOR %%a IN (*.fsb) DO fsb_mpeg.exe "%%a" -p 16

But from 2470 files converts only 1637, to 4 files fsb_mpeg reports "error file size less than FSB size, truncated?". Dont sure, maybe it happen from same names, when fsb_mpeg do converting.

[kilik]

i try make bat for convert

for %%i In (*.mul) do quickbms.exe salut.bms %%i G:\
pause

but quickbms crash any idea ?why

[Researchman]

You need do this:

Code: Select all

quickbms bms.bms <folder with files> <output dir>

Try do next steps for converting all fsbs(major problems with stream0 and stream1):

1 Make directories for single fsb file.
2 Copy in each dir fsb_mpeg.exe and batch file
3 Go to dirs in order to run batch file
4 Throught standart OS search select all mp3s and put in one dir with auto-rename files with same names

Batch script for auto-run fsb_mpeg in dirs or modified fsb_mpeg with auto-rename files function is very actual.

[kilik]

i do it ! this start scanning folder and crash at same time ! strange because is working when i do it manualy

[leop2p]

Hi!!!

Could you please explain me, how to extract the music from the game into WAV files?

First, I've extracted "bigfile.000.tiger" and I've got more than 700 "MUL" files. Now, I go to folder "Music" and all I've got to do is to convert "MUL" files to "WAV" ones. But extractor "MUL2WAV" doesn't working, it crashes.

I have read all the messages, but I still don't understood, which programs I have to use to complete that job?

Thank you!!!

[Carsten2011b]

Same here, I really don't understand the process either :/

[kotn3l]

Sorry for posting in this old thread, but I don't understand the process either. How can I convert the mul to multiple fsb files?
