FSB-Split QuickBMS Script

Post by Dark_Ansem »

Hello, I am looking for the QuickBMS script which allows for splitting FSB files. However, I'm not sure I am looking in the right places and/or for the right one. Which scripts exist? For which FSB version they work?

Apparently there are at least two versions of that script:

Thanks. Would both work on FSB files directly? As I have no .bank files.

Second one doesn't work either. They only produce one file named 0000000 with the exact same filesize of the original.

I have seen that I already have a script for doing this job on my website:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/dump_fsbs.bms

That one works for sure.

I'm sorry, same issue.

I'm trying to use it on Dark Souls FSBs, if that helps.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that file, in fact the last fsb file is just at the end of the archive.

I think that probably there was a misunderstood. These scripts scan any file searching for FSB archives contained in it (like what happens with the bank files).
Apparently you are looking for something completely different so rephrase please

Apologies.

What I am looking for is for something that can split a FSB file into multiple FSB according to how each track is structured. Dark Souls FSB archives agglomerate all tracks in one fsb files.
Is that clearer now?

Yes now it's definitely clear: 1 FSB -> N FSB (one for each file)
I doubt someone wrote a script, it's more probable that it was a tool.
Anyway let's way the answer of other users.

Just for personal curiosity, what's the advantage in having N FSB files instead of one or instead of just the extracted tracks?

Loop points. Using FSB extractors loses that information.

I managed to find a workaround: while foobar can read .fsb files, which utility can open the fsb? FMOD Studio?

FSB extractors do get the mp3 out, but that is not what I'm trying to do.

OK, that issue has been taken care for as well.
However, now I am having headaches properly extracting FSB5 files from the FSB5 archives. Aluigi, is there a quickBMS script which works for FSB5?

fsbext is the tool for extracting files from FSB* archives.
If the archived files are in ogg format then you have to use this tool:
