Need Help To Extract An .Ark File

Post by bikashbaruah19 »

hello everyone, i have been try to extract an .ark file but im not able to extract it. i can extract all other .ark files except few. whenever i try to extract it it shows "Error : incomplete file number 0, can't read 4 bytes. anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS Script has been written to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted.

can anyone help me please ?

1) what's the name of the game?
2) what's the script you are using?
3) check if you have quickbms 0.7.1 and/or 0.7.2a
4) check if there is a newer version of the script

thanks for the reply.
Game Name = Split Second
and i'm using # Black Rock Studios (script 0.1.2)

After using the latest BMS Editor

i get this "Error : incomplete input file 0: J:\Split Second\data\resident_dlc.ark. Can't read 4 bytes from offset 10000000. Anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS script has been written to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted. Please Check the following coverage information to know if it's ok.
coverage file 0 0% 16 11802624
Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
16 get DUMMY long"


the resident_dlc.ark is not from pc version it from Xbox but can it be extracted ? because all the files of Xbox are similar to PC. If you guys can help me to extract it then i can import it to pc easily. If you want to see the file then tell me i will upload it so that you can check it and do all you can. Thank You

I have just updated the script to version 0.1.3 and seems to work (it was just a problem of endianess):

@NekoBoi
Are you sure the format is the same of Split Second?
If you upload that ark file we can check it (it's only 27 Mb right?)
