[Ps2]Legacy of Kain files

[Devilot]

Hi to everyone
I tried Wheel of doom in the Ps2 Legacy of Kain Defiance (Crystal Dynamics, silikon game, and it gives me many files. I know that .mul files are music and .raw files are a kind of textures, but I can't even imagine or open the others (.drm, .sam, .vrm, .smf)

can you help me in identifying/opening those?

I wanted to add samples but the website does not allow me. Therefore, here
http://pcgames.gwn.com/downloads/file.p ... iance.html
is the demo.

does anyone know which files are the models, the actual models of the stuff (like the Spectral Reaver or the creatures)?

Try this: http://thelostworlds.net/

[Devilot]

i know that website :d but it says nothing about the models, only the textures!

[Polefish]

Isn't this what you are looking for: http://thelostworlds.net/Software/ModelEx.html

[Devilot]

no, because it opens only Soul Rever Models, and I'm looking for Defiance models...

refresh
Maybe there is someone, who know how to convert defiance .drm files to other format ?

[Devilot]

was hoping for Noesis, but it does not support them, yet.

If you want Kain or Raziel,u need tombraider laracroft and guadian of light expansion pack to rip them.Then search for unpackTRU program but you need exactly version for rip them.Good luck

[Devilot]

what about the swords?

[S0UZ]

Don't know,may be you need search more in tombraider forum for another version which support Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Swords, Kain, Raziel... If you use 3D Ripper Dx it is easy to get it. Problems are with some enemies...

[Devilot]

like the Elder God?

I wonder if someone has managed to extract the audio files from the series..

[Devilot]

actually, thanks to QuickBMS and its wonderful author, I have managed to finally get a look of all the files.
this is the script

###
get FILES short
get DUMMY byte
get DUMMY byte
for i = 0 < FILES
get NAME_CRC long
next i
for i = 0 < FILES
get SIZE long
get OFFSET long
get DUMMY long
log "" OFFSET SIZE
next i

But, but, it extract a series of MUS (audio/BGM) files and a load of .dat files which I have no idea how to actually read. the result is the same form either the DAT file of the PC (GOG re-release) or the Ps2 file, extracted from the ISO.

Soul Spiral, on the other hand, yields a series of unrecognized formats: .smf, .drm, .vrm. I'd say one of those 3 could be the streamed audio (probably SMF), but no tool I have will allow me to check it. can someone help?

UPDATE: DRM files, are, in fact, archives. Turfster's tool for tomb raider legends Graverobber managed to read them for the TR game, but not for this one.

UPDATE2: the key could lie in the .MUL files extracted off the DAT archive. but, MUL2wav will crash when converting some of the files, while it will convert all the BGM.
