Please help me with quickbms reimport

Post by sam72844 »

Hi,

i found a scrip on Luigi Auriemma website which is made for wii u mii maker files , in my case boot.sgarc.cmp.
this is my first time using quickbms, the included usage instructions are helpful and it was easy to extract, after making the changes required ( 2 folders rename ) i got an error reimporting the file.

i did some google search but found no definitive answer, so it thought i should just extract and reimport without touching any files and got the same error :

Code: Select all

- open input file C:\boot.sgarc.cmp
- open script C:\mii_maker.bms
- set output folder C:\sgarc


  offset   filesize   filename
--------------------------------------
Error: script invalid for reimporting, it uses MEMORY_FILEs
       You can use the -. option or quickbmsver "-." if this script is meant
       to act as a header/data builder (for example if it adds a RIFF header
       to raw PCM data embedded in the file, and so on), the MEMORY_FILE dataa
       will be skipped automatically allowing to reimport the real file data


Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
  23  log NAME OFFSET[i] SIZE[i] MEMORY_FILE

- OFFSET       0x00008000
- SIZE         0x00022098
 coverage file 0   100%   340649     340649     . offset 00000004
 coverage file -1    0%   1692       3579904    . offset 0000069c


is the error is as simple as the script output say ( it is not made to reimport ) or there is something else im missing ?
Thank you in advance.

Eh no, reimporting can't be used in that case. The work-around described in the message (the -. option) shouldn't apply there.
