Here are the samples.
For now this is for the X360 version, the PS3 version should be up in... five days or less.

Well, it requires 010 Editor to run, correct?
I'm having this "MSVCP120.dll" error though...

[aluigi]

Basically it's just the following for the wad...

Code: Select all

idstring "WAD\x01"
get FILES long
for i = 0 < FILES
    get NAME_CRC long
    get OFFSET long
    get SIZE long
    log "" OFFSET SIZE
next i

QuickBMS script made just now for both wad and big:

Cool, I got this for the .big files:

Code: Select all

- open input file E:\LA.Noire.Complete.Edition.XBOX360-MARVEL\DVD1\final\360\animationsets.big.360
- open script E:\quickbms_scripts\la_noire.bms
- set output folder E:\LA.Noire.Complete.Edition.XBOX360-MARVEL\DVD1\final\360\animationsets
- the folder doesn't exist, do you want to create it (y/N)?:
  y

  offset           filesize   filename
--------------------------------------

- signature of 4 bytes at offset 0x0000000000000000 doesn't match the one
  expected by the script:

  this one: "segs"
  73 65 67 73                                       segs

  expected: "WAD
"
  57 41 44 01                                       WAD.

Oh, I didn't remember there was a 360 extension after "big"... I'm blind
Fixed in 0.1.1

[AnonBaiter]

OK, it works now. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and what about those filenames at the end of the .wad file?

[aluigi]

Good catch man
Script 0.2

Technical note: the "perfect" mode would be to calculate the crc of the filename and compare it with the one in the file entry (easy job with the NameCRC command) but I preferred to use the more simple index solution: file 1 = name 1, file 2 = name 2 and so on.

The script seems to also work with the PS3 version of the game. I mean, the files contained within the game.

[aluigi]

Positive.

How do you repack root.atb? A script was made to extract the archive but not to repack it. https://mega.nz/#!K5RGXJAC!Z-1RllYSOa_8 ... Fkdq1DjSd4

[aluigi]

You can use the reimport feature of quickbms.
Read section 3 of http://aluigi.org/papers/quickbms.txt for information and limits.

Any chance for update to make it work for original PC release and new VR case files and PS4 Xone and Switch version?
By the way - game can load unpacked files if they are put in out folder with original folder structure preserved inside out folder so what i wanted to do - unpack new high res texture from PS4\Xone\Switch version, do the same for pc and compare them, select best textures, improve some that was no improved and make an unofficial remaster.

Btw, if someone needs proper l.a. noire 60 fps unlocker (which was very hard to find out in form that does not require any launcher, cheat engine or trainer) in form of ASI plugin, get it here.

[aluigi]

Do you mean that the la_noire.bms script doesn't work with those versions?
Upload the sample files to review.

Please note that if there is a VR version it probably uses the UE4 or Unity engine for which are available specific scripts and tools.

Would you kindly provide us with the entire archive? I am interested in getting the sound files for personal use.

[aluigi]

The big files contain just the data, need the index files for analysis.

Does anyone know whether PS3/X360 have better music quality (~80kbps mp3) than PC version?

Does the music game archive file was noticeably bigger than in PC version?

Maybe someone already ripped VR version, or PS4/X1, or maybe know whether music is in better quality in these versions?
