Monster Jam Path of Destruction

Strange format, there are 3 files with the following extension:
  • BFD: the raw archive containing all the files
  • BFT: offset and size of each file
  • BFF: names of the files
  • BFH: checksums

The extraction folder will have a size smaller than the BFD archive because:
  • the files are aligned inside the archive and so there are many empty bytes between each file
  • there are multiple copies (many!) of the same file, the script dumps only the last one that is probably the most recent

Hi Aluigi, Thanks for this,

I don't suppose you have any information on the 3d model format at all?

Unfortunately I can't help with 3d stuff.
