Tools for Repacking

[FitGirl]

Ace Combat has it's own encryption scheme outside of standard UE4 scheme.

Recode FLAC to MP3 with FFMPEG

for /r %%f in (*.FLAC) do ffmpeg -i "%%f" -ab 320k -map_metadata 0 -id3v2_version 3 "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.mp3"

Original solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...adata#26109838

or for direct usage in CMD:

for /r %f in (*.FLAC) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -ab 320k -map_metadata 0 -id3v2_version 3 "%~df%~pf%~nf.mp3"

Used to repack Rayman Legends, and other games.

Use 0.4b for CLI

• DATOneArchiver in it's current state (v1.0) is a complete toolset for extracting, modifying, and creating TT Games DAT archive files for these games:
  • Lego Star Wars: The Video Game
  • Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
• DATOneArchiver is a command-line based tool written in .NET.

Currently does not support compression of LZ2K as used in later LEGO games.

Happens in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Bionicle Heroes, or any earlier game released before 2007.

LEGO Worlds: No DAT Patch for Build 3833060

• Change the byte at location 4247CA from 74 to EB in LEGO_Worlds_DX11.exe.
• This will allow the game to run with unpacked, decompressed DAT archives.
• Thanks to acidicoala for working with me on this and to our mutual friend m0xf for the original method.
• Unpack the DAT archives using the BMS script linked here: https://www.fileforums.com/showpost....8&postcount=15

Just a taster of what's to come

do you happen to know what the significance behind the byte change is? A few months ago I (unsuccessfully) attempted to figure out the patching process but didn't have much luck even after extensive analysis of the executable with Ghidra, I did however note the byte change but alas was unable to determine the significance.

HxD is a powerful tool. Some of the files comes with encryption from developers to prevent modders from modding and stuff.

No matter how stronger the encryption, they can't break the file, and a file type is recognized by their headers. An example,

I plan to write a full post about our findings with acidicoala but to answer your question in short:

• Game runs as normal in a decrypted state.
• You can use the included batch file to auto decrypt the game and delete encrypted paks.

BankDumper

• A little tool I wrote in C# to dump an FMOD bank into an FSB by stripping away the header info before FSB5.
• On its own, this tool is neither special or useful. But, it's part of a much larger process of correctly compressing FMOD audio banks using MSC and OGGRE.

  What needs doing?
  • Fix for banks that contain multiple FSB headers. Currently this only works for banks that contain a single FSB header.

Can you make something that can process audio inside pack files and bank files
they both hold wem files which oggre can compress

also i am working on something this community will love 90% done

Already have a working processor for Ogg + Wav FMOD banks/fsbs, but not ready for public usage yet.

Some cls I created after my first use of bpk... which was on Watch Dogs videos and it produced some error and from what I understand is that some videos cause bpk to bug out so this cls-bpt (bpk patch) just tries to filter out the videos that cause these errors. (You do not gain ratio from these videos as they are just skipped)

If the code used in cls-bpk.dll is the same as bink_pack.exe then this should work without problems (same goes for the decoder).

The principle of cls-bpt is bk2 videos are scanned and, both encoded and decoded by bink_pack.exe and bink_unpack.exe respectively, if either one of them fail then the data is not passed through the original cls-bpk.
This will avoid the "motion data" error message and a possible crash afterwards.

Given the involvement of bink_pack.exe and bink_unpack.exe, this means that every single video is at least encoded twice and decoded once when compressing and this will probably more than half the speed performance than when using bpk originally however when decompressing, the speed remains the same

Required files when compressing

bink_pack.exe
bink_unpack.exe
cls-bpk.dll
cls-bpt.dll

Required files when decompressing

cls-bpk_u.dll
cls-bpt.dll

You can get bpk from here.

Notes

Only use this cls when you are having issues with bpk as there is no telling if bpt will produce errors of its own or if it will affect ratio.
This only focuses on bk2 videos.
