Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Post by Doctor Loboto »

There's a semi-coherent method of organization with the files of this game, however, assets are packed within archives. I was hoping to extract the models and textures from this game finally. Can anyone please help?

Very strange format, probably just a container... don't know.
Anyway the following lame method at least allows to dump the DDS from the *.pc.xbd archives but you have better luck using a normal file ripper:

Code: Select all

for
    get ID short
    getdstring DXT_SIGN 4
    get DUMMY long
    get SIZE long
    savepos OFFSET
    log "" OFFSET SIZE
    math OFFSET + SIZE
    goto OFFSET
next

They are archives, particularly containing character models and textures.

Sorry to bump, but I really need a way to get the models from this type of archive...an aspect of my future project needs a few of them.

Sorry about another bump, but I have some updated files. These archives contain the models, textures, etc...I need a way to extract them.

They are still a confusing mess of files so no format.
Use a file ripper as I already suggested one year ago.

Sure, I forgot to post the usual link to the topic:

The HyperRipper feature of DragonUnpacker is ok, if you need a suggestion go with it.
