PvZ Garden Warfare 2 .chunk and .mesh file assistance

I've already dumped the archive of Garden Warfare 2, but I need assistance in getting the BF4 Chunk and Mesh management tool, Skeleton and Mesh importer MaxScripts, and EBX to txt converter to work with it. It uses Frostbite 3 engine and I've managed to rip from PvZ Garden Warfare 1 before, but it seems that the tools for ripping models from it need to be updated of the sort.
I have provided a sample with a .mesh and .chunk file from Garden Warfare 2 if anyone needs it. Either the tools need to be updated, or I'm doing something wrong, here.
Thanks!

Dunno about the tools but the mesh format (in .chunk) is rather simple:

Well that's good to know that the mesh files are rippable, though I'd still prefer to figure things out with the tools. Either I'm doing something wrong, or the tools need updating. Whichever comes first, I suppose.

Good news, Everyone! -Farnsworth
I've managed to import the mesh into 3DS Max, finally, using an updated Chunk and mesh management tool and the NFS 16 mesh importer found here:

Now I just gotta figure out how to get the Skinning to import on the bones, like the previous script did before. Anyone have any ideas?

I apologize for necro-bumping this thread, but since it's my thread anyway, I thought I'd might as well. So I revisited this ripping project and am trying to get a new dump of the .cas archive using a newer dumper, but now it gives me this message:
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas on how to go about this would be VERY appreciated. Thanks!
