THE advantage of understanding Project igi 2 file structures is that you probably extend your discovery into
other Codemasters games (like dirt)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_igi_2
my search on web about Project igi 2 .res archives show me that no tools for this game developed yet !
i tried other extractores like : Dragon UnPACKer , game extractor , ......
but none of them rips the .res archives of Project igi 2 and the extractor that i mentioned to it and is able to rips .res archives , it supports .res archives of game (rage of mages) and it rips the .res archives of Project igi 2 suddenly !
I attached different files type of Project igi 2 for you , please a deft check the file structures , whether contains any 3d data or chunks , thanks a lot !
-----------------
content of attachment :
one .txt file , contains directory structure of geme , dir /s
often 3d models are in .spr format
texture in .tex

the IGI2 archives (luckily I still had the demo here) are chunks based and use a lot of padding... really boring.
this script should be able to extract any file and data (included the strings in messages.res which are not real files) from these archives

Hello.
I extracted IGI1 audio files.

I was able to fix some sounds with Audacity software, but I couldn't do all the sounds!

How to play and use these sounds?

to decode those IGI 1 .wav files to playable .wav files you do the below process
1- download Project_IGI_1_Audio_Decoder_By_rkthelegend.zip from the link
2-extract it somewhere in your computer.
3-take the wav files you want to decode and copy them to Project_IGI_1_Audio_Decoder_By_rkthelegend folder.
4-rename the extension of those wav files to .frp
5-finally drage and drop them to test.exe to decode.
thats it. no rocket science no brain surgery.
here is the link

Thankful. that was perfect.
But there is a problem with converting "common" sounds!
The following are the audio files:
IGI1 \ common \ sounds
I extracted the sounds from the sounds.res file

How to convert these files?

Bro for that you have to do a lo more
1-use extractor.exe to extract wav file from sound.res
2-do the process again with test.exe

That's exactly what I did
Apparently wav "common" sounds have different encryption !!
I played all level sounds, but "common" sounds are not compatible with this method !!
Could you
