Hope to get help in unpacking these files. I uploaded a couple of samples here...
Shell.pak and Shell.bin http://www.mediafire.com/download/ql91o ... AKnBIN.rar
Training.pak http://www.mediafire.com/download/5s7ea ... ingPAK.rar

I had hope this isn't one of those impossible games to crack.

I have made a script but this format is horrible so:
  • don't expect files easy to use (dds, png, wav and so on)
  • the parsing and extraction is NOT complete
Consider it just a way to give a quick look at the data inside these archives and nothing more:

(note that the script will be uploaded later)

Thanks! I can safely say that would be better than having nothing to work with at all (which is what we have for over 3 years I saw this posted at xentax).

EDIT. Can I have your permission to post your findings on the format over at xentax? If its going to be a problem I understand.
