reimport files into a xbox 360 zip container?

[wkdwilliams]

i extracted a zip file from a game perfectly but now i need to reimport a file into the zip container, how would i do this using quickBMS? or any other tool that offers this.

[aluigi]

read section 3 of quickbms.txt, the Xmemcompressed mode is supported in both compression and decompression so you can adobt this method:

what game ?

as far as I know only Forza Motorsport uses zip archives with xmemcompression instead of deflate, right?

ok, this is what i dont get:

quickbms -w -r script.bms archive.pak output_folder

what script do i use? and why do i specify a output_folder if im importing?

so every game uses deflate instead of forza? so i could just compress this zip with winrar?

the question is:
why you can't open that zip files with winrar/7zip/winzip/any_other_tool?

if you can open the zip file with a normal zip program then you can recompress it with the same programs.

only forza motorsport uses a particular compression algorithm that is supported only in quickbms and that's why it's necessary zip.bms to handle these files

ok, so all i need is zip.bms to rebuild this zip file?

yes, if no other program can open these zip files.
follow the simple instructions in section 3 and it will work.

you can use the reimport.lnk link or create one by yourself, so no need to use the command-line

and where would i get the zip.bms?

ehmmm seriously do you know about what you are talking or what?

you want to reimport something that can be extracted only with quickbms and zip.bms so you have already used them (otherwise there is no sense in your thread) BUT you don't know where is zip.bms to reimport it???

sorry I will no longer help you.

but to reimport something it asks for a bms script and i dont know where to get that script from... makes sense to me.

Man really ? just cannot believe aluigi helped you on the first place. U not making any sence at all. Read the manual for QuickBMS or use my GUI!

your GUI says the same, i want to import something but it asks for a OUTPUT folder? and i need a bms script... the game is left 4 dead 2 and im working on the zip0 file.
