hello everyone, hope this is the right section otherwise move the topic please, thanks :P

so me and a friend were browsing through the forza3 disc lookin for vehicle files. turns out forza uses some .carbin file extension for their meshes, those are stored in a .zip file, along with .xds files (probably xbox .dds type?), some .xml and .tga files. the problem so far is we are not able to unpack these .zip files, tried several programs from winrar to 7z to totalcommander nothing works, always get a error "compression method not supported".

so we thought maybe you guys have an idea :P

heres an example: http://files.uploadffs.com/a/1/28f615c7/AST_DB9_05.zip

thanks for any help in advance :P greetings

you must use QuickBMS and the zip.bms script.
