Quantum of Solace 007 PC Textures .bin

Post by Assasinge »

Hi, I'm crossposting this from Xentax so maybe someone here can also help with my problem:

Hi guys hope everyone's doing well. I've been working on extracting a couple models from Quantum of Solace 007 for PC using Daemon's tools here:

However I realized the only way to acquire the textures was to use Ninja Ripper and it's a bit tedious to do so and quite messy, further more if you want a certain character object you might have to play through the game just to reach the point where you can rip the textures which I found to be very irritating.

However I noticed in addition to the .ff files (which contain meshes and skeletal weights) there are .bin files found under the "main" folder in the game's directory, which as it turns out contain the textures for all the game. It also turns out the files are not encrypted, they are simply compressed. Here is a sample of one of them:

Friend of mine hexed it and found some of the following:

Would anyone be willing to make a simple tool to unpack these bin files to acquire textures? I know a few people have been asking for an easier way to get them, I think this will solve the issue, thank you!

Sorry please ignore and delete this post, it appears there are no textures in the bin files.

Ok I can remove the topic, or do you prefer to use it for providing updates for other people?

Um, well unfortunately no one else seems to know how to acquire textures from the game other than using Ninja Ripper at the moment so I don't think I'll be able to provide any updates for a while. Unless someone else reads this and can help maybe.

Ok, let's keep it open, it doesn't cost us anything ;)
