Excuse me, but how do you use that tool? I seem to miss some tutorial on that app
Hi.
We can try it but I'm not sure whether we can acquire satisfied output from extraction for now...
What I have tried:
- Obtain swbf.rar from
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13584
- Explode it.
- Edit
swbf_dump/sw_dumper.py

We will get some wav files. But I think many sounds are still unextracted in current status. We can get most wav files including game music. 61,415 files in 28GB. It took 3 days for extraction. (Updated 2016/09/04)
For texture (.dds, direct draw surface?) extraction: (2016/09/06 Updated)
- Obtain
Batch_Itexture_Converter.exe from somewhere.
- [Select Itexture] H:\MEC\bundles
2330 6433 or such
- [Select Chunk] H:\MEC\chunks
14863 53239 or such
- [Get DDS Files]
2330 6433 or such
- We will get some dds files. However most of them are unreadable with my usual tools.
I have tested some tools to preview DX10 dds texture files: (2016/09/06 Added)
- DirectX Texture Tool (64-Bit) in Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)\DirectX Utilities (64-Bit)
→ An error occurred trying to open that file.
- DDS Viewer from ddsviewer.com
→ DDS Viewer has stopped working
- NVIDIA Corporation\DDS Utilities\readdxt.exe
→ generates transparent tga. is it correct?
- Windows Texture Viewer from nvidia.com
→ show nothing.
- PicoPixel-0.6.11-x86-installer.exe from pixelandpolygon.com
→ can preview!
- texconv.exe from github.com Microsoft/DirectXTex
→ can convert!
