[PC] SAS Anti Terror Force (.AIF)

Post by TheMaster3314 »

It's my first post so tell me if something isn't right,

Hello, i am trying to extract the main data file from SAS Anti Terror Force.

I have tried 2 scripts:
Family Feud
Jackie Chan Adventures

Exept nothing extracts. i am currently out of options so any help will be appreciated

Here is the sample file : https://www.mediafire.com/file/dabcgyns6m0zlc4/Data1.AIF/file

Hello. Search by game name, not file extension.

Modified script to extract per directories:
SAS_AIF_debug.BMS
Comparison files with PS2:
PC_PS2-dircomp.log
Still no names, tho. File-list extracted from executable:
filenames-exe.txt
The game has debug output, which can be red with DebugView. i.e. it outputs *.tm2 texture file names:
DebugView.LOG
Interesting, that this archive is the full game - the only need is executable which is extracted by BMS as 00000006.dll. For those who followed this: make sure to change window dimensions and disable fullscreen in config file after first launch. Even tho, the game starts in fullscreen and only then switches to windowed. Interested to force disable this fullscreen on start.

@z4ruz
Do you still have a copy of those files?
The forum lost some attachments during a migration last week.

Sure, but not now. If required, I can provide only script atm.

Did you tried searching (googling) for extensions of extracted files, to find tools for them?
Altho, not all the extensions are correct.
