Battlefield V .cas .cat

[idchoppers]

I was able to extract all chunks and ebx files, but no res due to the error in my previous post. I looked at the BFVdecoder.py and there is no mention to any res... is it really necessary?

Anyway, I tried to decode and nothing happens:

Code: Select all

Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>>

Any ideas?

What game are you working on though, I am confused, STAR WARS Battlefront II?
The BFV audio script is not working with SWBFII game to decode audio. Assuming that's the game your working on.

Yes, Star Wars Battlefront II. Is there any other script that is working? I had partial luck with this one https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... perFix.rar the script inside the Audio folder decodes 33 WAV files (Titan mode music) out of 18,000 files. Here's how it looks like:



Files inside green rectangles were decoded. Red ones (the vast majority) nothing happened. Any ideas?

Don't remember where it is exactly, daemon1 posted it here in his main thread, the audio decoder script, just take one page at a time and see his posts, its in there somewhere:

good luck

You can now easily extract sounds, models with the FrostyEditor.

I wanted to find out if there are any videos(FMVs) embedded inside?

Not sure what you mean by embedded, their just inside the cas/cat archives.
If I remember correctly they should all be VP8/WEBM videos.

BTW, you didn't properly embedded my message in to CODE and I got sooo confused lol.

As Frosty dev said numerous times, Frosty will never be used for mass extraction of any kind, you need to use the python script to dump them, or any other asset for that matter.
And to be honest I don't think Frosty supports the extraction of cinematic videos.

Oh sorry the auto quote was messed up lol. So im trying to use the fb3 decoder and im getting this error, what is wrong?

Hello All. I have been a long time lurker and have benefited from the excellent tools and advice on this forum. For a while, I have been able to extract BFV sound data into wav/mp3 but since the recent 6.0 patch (as of 9th, Feb. 2020), I no longer can.

I wonder is it the patch that is at fault or just me forgetting a crucial step. It might also be the BFV Dumper that is faulty in the first place and not a problem with the BFVdecoder. All tools used are up to date (to the best of my knowledge) and running on the correct python versions.

It seems that I can dump the BFV data just fine but when running BFVdecoder, I consistently get this error:

Code: Select all

>>> 
XAS1 dll detected.
EASpeex dll detected.
EALayer3 tool detected.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\BFV Dump Tools\BFVdecoder\BFVdecoder.py", line 540, in <module>
    main()
  File "D:\BFV Dump Tools\BFVdecoder\BFVdecoder.py", line 537, in main
    dbx.decode()

Exception: Could not find complex with name: $::SoundDataAsset
Full path: $::SoundDataAsset/Chunks::array

>>> 

Could it be a faulty dump (I have dumped the files twice to check) or has something changed with the update? Thank you in advance.
