you must cut the head and tail of archive with file cutter and upload them ...

Filecutter doesn't work! I can't upload the file, because my upload speed: 20kb/s

the header of the archive is for sure at the end so: no files, no party

I have found another Cabela game that uses the same file format so I will release a quickbms script later

-a unpack lot of "0901fa58.dat, 09e1fda9.dat, etc.
But their headers different: DDS, FBAF!, 063X, ShaderLib.
Additional ideas?

as already said above if you don't provide the files or parts of the file I can't magically guess the differences with the format I reversed.
the only thing you "could" try is to remove the following 2 lines:
math INFO_OFFSET <<= 0xb
math OFFSET <<= 11
but I'm sure that nothing will change

new script supporting any Cabela's game:

thanx to cleerxer who contacted me via mail and provided all the needed pieces of the file and informations for solving the bug and adapting the script.
