Need help modifying FSB dumper script

Post by CosmicDreams »

I have never worked with BMS more than using existing scripts so I need some help modifying one for Halo 3, ODST and Reach's FSBs.
Basically these have external .info files that contain full file paths for each bit of audio in the FSB which makes sorting through it all much easier.
I would like to know how I could adjust the script to pull these names for extraction rather than the ones from the FSB itself.

Every entry in the .info file is in the same order as the FSB itself, with names always starting in "data\" and ending with ".aif"

The info files themselves share the same name as the FSB, so it should be pretty easy to automatically open it when loading the FSB.

fsbext doesn't have any option for getting names from external files.
In short I don't see any quick solution for doing this renaming job.
Do the files extracted by fsbext have a sort of "pattern" in their name?
And are the names in .info in the same order of the files you see listed by fsbext?

The names in the info are in the same order that things are stored in the FSB, And i would assume fsbext would extract in that order
