Ok I made a script for it:
http://aluigi.org/bms/race_driver_3.bms

It automatically decompresses the LZS file and extract the JPAK archive in it.

Please let me know if there is any error.

Ok i extracted files from LZS, I have .TEX and .idx files, and so now how do i open them? I want edit them, then save back into LZS file from which i extracted these

TEX are DDS, you can rename them if you prefer.

IDX are usually empty so ignore them.

you can try using REIMPORT mode

i think its not working for me... can you help via discord or something?

Reimporting can't work in this case because the archive is compressed itself while reimporting works when the archived files are (or aren't) compressed.

I would opt for the following solution:

1) Use the following script on MainMenu.lzs, normal extraction:

Code: Select all

comtype lzss0
idstring "LZSS"
get ZSIZE long
get SIZE long
savepos OFFSET
math ZSIZE - OFFSET
get NAME basename
clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE

It will create a new file called MainMenu

2) Use the following script in reimport mode selecting MainMenu (without .lzs) and the folder where you extracted the files with the original script:

Code: Select all

math FILENUM = 0
callfunction JPAK_DUMP 1

startfunction JPAK_DUMP
    idstring FILENUM "JPAK"
    get ZERO long FILENUM
    get FILES long FILENUM
    get DUMMY long FILENUM
    get ZERO long FILENUM
    get DUMMY long FILENUM
    get DUMMY longlong FILENUM
    for i = 0 < FILES
        get NAME_OFF long FILENUM
        get SIZE long FILENUM
        get OFFSET long FILENUM
        get SIZE2 long FILENUM  # both the SIZE values were the same in the sample
        get DUMMY longlong FILENUM
        get ZERO long FILENUM
        get ZERO long FILENUM

        if SIZE != SIZE2
            print "Error: SIZE (%SIZE%) != SIZE2 (%SIZE2%), contact me"
            cleanexit
        endif

        savepos TMP FILENUM
        goto NAME_OFF FILENUM
        get NAME string FILENUM
        goto TMP FILENUM

        log NAME OFFSET SIZE FILENUM
    next i
endfunction

3) Now use the following script on MainMenu (without .lzs), normal mode:

Code: Select all

comtype lzss0_compress
get SIZE asize
clog MEMORY_FILE 0 SIZE SIZE
get ZSIZE asize MEMORY_FILE

log MEMORY_FILE2 0 0
putdstring "LZSS" 4 MEMORY_FILE2
math ZSIZE + 12
put ZSIZE long MEMORY_FILE2
math ZSIZE - 12
put SIZE long MEMORY_FILE2

get NAME basename
string NAME + ".lzs"
log NAME 0 12 MEMORY_FILE2
append
log NAME 0 ZSIZE MEMORY_FILE
append

It will generate a new MainMenu.lzs file.

Yeah it's a bit long but it should work.

Recap:
1) MainMenu.lzs -> MainMenu
* no, no need to extract the files from MainMenu because you already extracted them before
2) files -> reimport -> MainMenu
3) MainMenu -> MainMenu.lzs

put SIZE long MEMORY_FILE2

Did that then after it packed into LZS the archive went around 3KB smaller then after loading profile in game it crashed....
i dont know why...

[Polecze]

.

I think something wrong in code... i did export the files then put them into LZS again with you scripts (didnt modify the files for test) and the game crashed.... size was same as original this time... no idea

[Polecze]

btw heres the file i try with now
https://www.mediafire.com/file/7vx46ivz ... k.lzs/file

[Polecze]

i try this on other LZS files - i used scripts on it = the size after was the same as it should but crashes the game anyways

[Polecze]

Can you find a solution to it don't crash?

[Polecze]

Ok I made a script for it:
http://aluigi.org/bms/race_driver_3.bms

It automatically decompresses the LZS file and extract the JPAK archive in it.

Please let me know if there is any error.

any solution?

[aluigi]

I can't help with rebuilders.
If that work-around I proposed doesn't work, I have no other solutions.
