The script is perfect *--*

Thank you very much!!!

Sorry to bump an old thread. Wasn't sure if i should make a new one. Can someone make a script that can do the opposite of this? Make it import files instead of export.

===============================
3) Reimport the extracted files
===============================


As already said QuickBMS is primarly an extraction tool, anyway from
version 0.4.9 it supports also the -r option that transforms the tool
in a simple reimporter/reinjector and so could be useful in some cases
for who wants to mod or translate a game.

The idea consists in being able to reimport ("injecting back") the
modified files in the majority archives without touching a single line
of the script, yeah just reusing the same bms scripts that already
exist!

This script is amazing, I extracted MFA archive with it successfully

Now if only a way to convert those models and textures into regular formats existed, besides ninja ripper walkthroughs, SH Level viewer character dumps
found only this topic: http://silenthillcommunity.com/viewtopi ... 9&t=438420
So basically no way to directly extract in-game models from files is found yet
