.big files for mobile EA games

Post by Director111 »

I am looking for a specific image used as a background in NBA Live Mobile. I looked at all the image files in the .apk and data folders, but could not find it. NBA Mobile has a lot of .big files, and I was thinking that the image could be stored in one of those. I tried using a lot of the scripts for QuickBMS, but couldn't get any to work. I keep getting errors like the one posted below. Does anyone know what script I need to use or anything else I can do? Thanks!

The "EB" magic is handled by this script:

If you are lucky it's the same format.

Thanks for the quick response! I tried using fightnight.bms script but didn't have any luck. I think I'm using the tool right, but it is completely possible that I am messing something up. I'm new to all of this. Is there any advice you could give me?

It was a stupid bug in the script (ZSIZE instead of SIZE in a check), fixed in script 0.3.5. Press CTRL-F5 if you don't see the new version.
