MAD MAX (.arc/.tab) archives

[Ekey]

~30 new names. Try to play longer. I do not see sense to make these small updates.

Edited: See below.

Point taken, but as I stated in my first post, I've finished playing the game. And will not play it anytime soon.

That said: if you guys would like gamers to support you in collecting this type of information, I suggest that you open a Request Topic specific on this subject "collecting - any - game info" only. And provide gamers with: a) precise and concise information on how to do this (see my attachment - no rocket science, but most gamers can not be bothered in finding out the tidbits) b) a stable gaming platform. As I said before, I crashed once during gaming, and ProcMon crashed 4-5 times (and all this while just parsing some menus).

Just a suggestion...

EDIT:
Couldn't help myself, so I've created a batchfile this morning that can process those process monitor logs. And it eventually returns a "New value" filelist. It has some level of parameterization, in that it can extract only filenames vs fullpath names; which column to check (and is it valid) and the delimiter used.
Obviously, it is up to gents like #Ekey to define exactly what they'd like to receive...

I've also included a few of the logs I uploaded earlier this week for testing purpose.

I've tried using the FSB extractor on any of the sound effects/music/cutscene/dialog FSBs, and they all say 'The extracted Celt/Ogg sample will not have a header, and cannot be played'. Using WavePad/WinAMP/dbPowerAmp yields no results in playing them.

I tried using fsb_aud_extr with the supplied fmodL.dll on the OGGs that get extracted from FSB extractor, but it just says Unsupported file or audio format.

hey guys, somebody know how to import models from Mad Max to 3d max?

[Chester1994]

I´ve just finished the game one day ago. How can I help get those names?

[Paul44]

@Chester1994:
Read previous page on how to use/config MS Process Monitor. But you'll need to replay the game completely again to get more filenames...

Hi

All models and needed textures with filenames are in sarc files.
After unpacking we have got this file type:
- *.rbn - has info about rbs file + info about used materials and images ( *.ddsc)
- *.rbs - mesh data
- *.ddsc - dds image

Great find! Would it be possible to have a blender model exporter for this?

[Ekey]

Updated Base with file names.

[thef10man]

Is nobody going to help me?

@thef10man
The ogg files in the FSB archives are a problem.
There are a couple of solutions, one was this tool:
viewtopic.php?p=6582#p6582
Then there was a fmod based converter but I don't have links to it.

Here is for testing model importer from Mad Max.
It works with Blender 249.
-to get sarc archives - select any bin file and some wait to unpack all files
-from folder like "models\a00\character\encampment\crowdazzle" select rbs file to get mesh data (uv+skinweights)
-to get textured models select rbn file, but it works seldom (rarely)
-this game uses havok engine, to get skeleton find in folder like "animations\skeletons" *.bsk file (not supported)

Updated 2016-06-28:
-fixed import bsk files (bones)
First import skeleton from *.bsk file and than meshes from *.rbs.
For import next model please delete file 'bonenames.txt' from importer folder

[Paul44]

@Ekey:
Hereby an addiitional 180 new names (incl intro video). You also might add the analogue 'xx_xx.navmeshc' filenames, since many of those are not yet in that list.
I've also updated my batch 'loganalyzer' since I have now used the basic/standard CSV logfile structure. To make things easier to configure, I've also added a 'pre-process' log verify option...

ps: ms process monitor remains to be very unstable...

Can somebody do a patch to remove the main car engine noise? It's killing my ears

[michalss]

Hi Ekey can you please share hash filename function here ?

[Ekey]

Code: Select all

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/jenkins-hash/+/master/lookup3.c

Code: Select all

uint32_t hashlittle( const void *key, size_t length, uint32_t initval)

Thx mate, iteresting

[desperado]

Is there someone who's interested in ".stringlookup" file?

[BadBoy]

Mad Max ".stringlookup" how to unpacker?

i have all the rbs and rbn files. i dont understand how to open these though.
what is the blend file for? can anyone nugde we in the right direction?

edit.

ah, so i opened the blend file, and ran the script, and now importing a rbs file, but i dont see the model. it looks like an object is there but no matter how much i zoom, i can't see it. anyone know why/how to fix?

[oceanus010]

which archive holds the player character?
