Old Lego .GSC files
Dear aluigi, could it be possible to write quickbms scripts for the following file types:
Lego Star Wars TCS:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/5l32h7c11 ... ITY_PC.GSC
Lego Indiana Jones TOA:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/iyc7kym9a ... ITY_PC.GSC
Lego Batman:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/9u6obe8su ... M_B_PC.GSC
Notes:
lego batman is backwards compatible with lego indiana jones levels, as seen here:

However, lego indiana jones is not compatible with batman levels, meaning that they might be compressed differently. lego star wars levels aren't compatible with either two as the header is near the bottom of the file for some reason.

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
They are some resource formats which means that the "data" (since they are not "seen" as files) are not easy to dump.
You should use a file ripper to extract the dds images:
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=712
I made a work-in-progress script that will extract the same files like a file ripper (so it's not worth to use), I made it only to recognize the format next time:

Thank you. I've been looking for a way to extract these for a while now.

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
Dear Aluigi, would it be possible to modify the script to extract content from the xbox 360 versions of these files?

Just wondering if you had the chance to read my question from September 30th.

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
What I wrote in my previous post is valid for any GSC file

Not to be rude, but I tried it and it doesn't work.

What doesn't work?
There is no solution and no format, so use the file rippers to dump the known formats.
I thought my post was very clear about that.

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
What I was referring to was your script. I had assumed that that was what you were referring to when you said, "What I wrote in my previous post is valid for any GSC file", but regardless, if your script only extracts textures, then what are these?

I got these after extracting from LEGO Indiana Jones's BONUS_CITY level.

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
Dear Aluigi, can file rippers be used to rip .tga files with names?

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
"filenames" with "rippers" are impossible.
And tga lack both a magic in the header and a footer (no "TRUEVISION" tag) so I doubt rippers support this file format.

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
Okay. The reason I'm asking is because I found some unused levels in the xbox version of the original lego star wars that seem to crash because they are missing a file called "texture_names.txt" which lists a bunch of tga files for the levels. They come in a .nux file format, and i'd like to know if it would be possible to extract these files with a bms script.
If you're feeling up to it, Here is a sample:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/jy55i65y ... Maul_H.nux
P.S.
What were those files inside the zip file I uploaded last?

Re: Old Lego .GSC files
The main reason I created this topic was because i was hoping to find a way to port Lego star wars levels into Indy and batman without having to reverse engineer the executables. the Xbox 360 versions look like they are compressed the same, but they crash when i tried swapping and adding files on an actual modded 360. The PC versions, as you can tell, are very different. When extracting Lego Indy and batman files with your script I get files that look like this: https://www.mediafire.com/file/kq5y1mfk ... ntents.zip
However, when i extract Lego star wars files i get the textures like you said would happen. if the files in the zip i uploaded are the actual contents of a gsc, is there a chance you could make it so that it extracts the Xbox 360 versions textures? if they're not, what could they be? and could you make a script to extract whatever they are from Lego star wars?
P.S.
Sorry if I sounded rude in the past posts. The laugh was more out of nervousness than anything else.
