[PC] Dirt 5 .DAT

Post by MSQ »

Good afternoon,

The PS4 BMS script made for DIRT 5 does not extract all the files from the PC version of DIRT 5, only some.

Here is a sample of dat.ndx as well as some DAT archives.

Hopefully a new BMS script for the PC version of this game can be created! LZ4 compression is used.

Thanks,
MSQ.

I think I grasped the idea behind this format. It's using almost the same approach as Gears 5 and manipulating decompressed blocks, which should be built from chunks. Not sure if attached script is totally correct, but it works fine on the provided samples.

Update: Script updated to allow extraction of zero-sized files.
