mah, this file is too strange.
practically it's only a sequence of zlib compressed blocks (2293) of various size and with no other info within them or at the end.
the only header is composed by the first 12 bytes which is a signature and an unrelated number.

I have tried to watch in the blocks and in a file generated with all these blocks ("offzip -a -1 imagefile3.pak . 0") but there are no info, no headers, nothing of nothing.

Yeah, I tried that too. No file table anywhere, I've got no clue what this stuff is...

I've found the music. Different Pak that I'd overlooked -> not compressed.

It may not be compressed, but its a weird format for sure. starts with riff wave, and then has "IWXI" and "seek" in the header. Infinity ward xma interleaved or something? (wild guess) did you get them to play/decode somehow?

Yeah they work fine with ToWav. The structure is rather odd, I believe the seek is found in older xma headers, but far down the header rather than in the beginning.

unfortunately, the IWDs do not contain all of the sound fx and music :(

there's only one weapon wave file in the archives for instance: iw_21.iwd\sound\weapons\grenade\weap_flashbang_tone.wav

Read the rules. :
* no warez
* no talking about warez

Like I said in another thread: It is assumed everyone here owns a legal copy of any game they discuss. Discussing warez is against the rules and can be bannable on this forum.

Downloadable demos and other stuff you can legally get on your harddisk are fair game though.
