Then to resume, its imposible find the lost animations right?.

Here is  a proper bms script.

Code:

set memory_file2 binary "\x4C\x4F\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x63\x68\x72\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x65\x76\x65\x6E\x74\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x66\x69\x65\x6C\x64\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x6F\x62\x6A\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x73\x63\x72\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x73\x79\x73\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x76\x66\x78\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x77\x6F\x72\x6C\x64\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x62\x61\x74\x74\x6C\x65\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x6C\x6F\x63\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x6D\x6F\x76\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00\x78\x65\x6E\x6F\x6E\x5F\x73\x6E\x64\x2E\x66\x70\x64\x00"

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some help with extracting the weapons from this game.

I have successfully used the bms script as provided by chrrox and managed to open up and extract many of the weapons using UE Viewer. However I have noticed a number of weapons seem to be missing, including Kaim's first sword (Platinum Sword). From chrrox's script, it seems files 688 to 754 from xenon_obj.fpd contain the weapons. From scanning the contents using UE Viewer I've noticed that a few of them don't contain skeletons (such as 733). These files won't open and give an error: "Wrong package tag (08787063) in file 733.upk. Probably the file is encrypted." I have no idea whether these files actually contain the missing weapons or not, but I figured I would mention it.

I have tried searching through the other .fpd files but they do not seem to have the missing weapons. I've also tried searching through the .fpd files on both disc 1 and disc 4, but they both seem to be the same when it comes to the weapons. I imagine disc 2 and disc 3 are the same as well.

Any ideas on where to go from here and how to extract the missing weapons? Thanks in advance.

@featherinescat: chrrox's script doesn't decompress compressed entries (with cpx header), only dumping them as-is. From quick search, there is no solution for it yet, as it's rather not standard lzo/lzx/xmemdecompress, but something else, like self-modified variation of a known compression. Such entries also contains UE files, but most of them are just tfc files from brief look.

Thank you for the reply. That's unfortunate to hear, but I appreciate the information. I'll have another look through the other .fpd files at some point just to double-check they're not hiding in there.

Back again...

So I had a good look through all the .fpd files on all four discs (EU version) using a hex editor and I couldn't find anything. I thought about looking through the files on other versions of the game (like NA and JPN), but I figured it would pretty much be the same so I haven't bothered with it.

However, out of sheer curiousity I decided to check out the game files in the demo version of the game (this was only released in Japan).

When you extract the game files from the demo .iso you get a bunch of folders and .xxx files. One of the folders is called "obj", and within it a folder called "weapon". Inside the "weapon" folder is one file called "wp_s02a0_m.xxx". Given the number of the file and the fact this is the demo version of the game (it doesn't cover much beyond the start of the game), I think this could be the elusive Platinum Sword that I've been looking for.

I've tried to view and export this file (and other files within the "obj" folder) using UE Viewer, but unfortunately I keep running into the following error:

assertion failed: H.Tag == PACKAGE_FILE_TAG

FCompressedChunkHeader<<: pos=49B6A <- appReadCompressedChunk <- FByteBulkData::SerializeDataChunk <- FByteBulkData::SerializeData <- FByteBulkData::Serialize <- FTexture2DMipMap::Serialize3 <- TArray::Serialize: 0/10 <- UTexture2D::Serialize <- LoadObject: Texture2D'wp_s02a0_m.TEX_wp_s02a0_C', pos=49B6A, ver=296/12, game=ue3 <- UObject::EndLoad <- LoadWholePackage: wp_s02a0_m.xxx <- CUmodelApp::ShowPackageUI <- Main: umodel_build=1590

From looking at "wp_s02a0_m" in a hex editor, there doesn't seem to be a cpx header this time. But judging from the error UE Viewer gives, I'm guessing there's still sections in the file which can't be decompressed by UE Viewer.

I suspect that it'll not be possible to view and export it, but you can see where the file is in the game directory from the screenshot provided (can't upload the file itself on here as it's too big).

@featherinescat: I've improved support for this game in specific build from this topic - no special override is required, the game should be auto-detected, including demo version. Apparently the sword mesh you're looking for is included in multiple packages - it's common practice for UE3 games to include duplicates for reading optimization.

Update: All supported assets should work fine in the updated specific build for both demo and full versions of the game. It includes animations and static RPG meshes (derived class). Issue with inability to export materials with invalid characters in their names is also fixed.

Update 2: Added updated quickbms script to the attachments. It extracts files with correct extension for some known types, like UE packages and audio formats. Extracted audio can be played/converted with vgmstream (or better foobar with vgmstream plugin).

Holy crap, thank you so much for your help on this! This is amazing! I've tested out the new quickbms script and it seems to be working great. And I finally managed to get the sword I was looking for too!

Thanks again for all the help, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
