Middle-earth: Shadow of War (.arch06) HELP

[aluigi]

Mah, the game supports compressed archives that are extracted in a TEMPORARY_FILE so maybe it's possible that these additional files can't be found in the archives because they are compressed archives.
Anyway it's very rare.

The good news is that there is a way to test the files in the BNDL archives with ZSIZE equal to zero.
Open the script (0.3.6b) with a text editor and at line 156 replace:

Code: Select all

            endif

with:

Code: Select all

            else
                log NAME OFFSET SIZE
            endif

Let me know if now the extracted files are more and moreover if the new files are zero-size files.

thanks for reply. do I need to unpack .arch06 files with this?

edit: extracted files out of .arch06 have same size

[aluigi]

So has the edited script extracted more files than the original script?
And, if yes, are the 4 files in these new extracted files?

the amount of files is the same.

p.s.: here's topic where I got all these names: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17200. unfortunately nobody answer my questions there. I wonder how they able to obtained these 4 models.

[aluigi]

the amount of files is the same.

In that case everything is perfect and all the files have been extracted correctly.

if so then why, after extracting full game 5 times, I can't find none of these files in the extracted files:

nazgul_helmet_witchking.mesh
nazgul_body_witchking.mesh
nazgul_body_isildur.mesh
nazgul_body_hammerhand.mesh

nazgul_helmet_witchking.skel
nazgul_body_witchking.skel
nazgul_body_isildur.skel
nazgul_suladan.skel

[aluigi]

Because they don't exist, simple

[Tosyk]

Because they don't exist, simple

but this is just not possible - they are main antagonists of the game

[erik945]

I got some new files (shelob[1...3]_00000001.bndl, shelob[1...3]_00000001.embb) with zero-size from mtnpass.arch06.
What's next?
Do I need to give a link to download this file?

[Tosyk]

moreover I got this:

Code: Select all

- 76 files found in 12 seconds
  coverage file 0     0%   772331     1417178720 . offset 000bc8eb
  coverage file -1   97%   4844       4948       . offset 00001354

Press ENTER or close the window to quit

on minasithil.arch06\minasithil.embb

which is ~1.4 gigs

[aluigi]

That's interesting yes.
Can you upload the 2 files generated by http://aluigi.org/bms/filecutter.bms on minasithil.embb?
Maybe set the MEGABYTES variable to 4 instead of 2.

[aluigi]

It's a concatenation of EMBB archives... very strange and a bit senseless too.
Anyway I have updated the script to version 0.3.7, let me know if it works and if it works with other embb archives too.

[erik945]

Did is changes only for embb or arch06 too?

[aluigi]

embb, the only type of archive for which have been reported problems.

[erik945]

Ok, thank you

When I added your script code

Code: Select all

            else
                log NAME OFFSET SIZE
            endif

I got some extra embb with a zero size
Middle Earth Shadow of War\unp\island.arch06\carnun1_00000001.embb
Middle Earth Shadow of War\unp\minasithil.arch06\blade15_00000001.embb
Middle Earth Shadow of War\unp\mtnpass.arch06\gondor15_00000001.embb
Middle Earth Shadow of War\unp\mtnpass.arch06\shelob3_00000001.embb
e.t.c.

Also I have a bunch of small embb (up to 10 kb) when unpacking which results is the following error

       Can't read 4 bytes from offset 0000000000000010.
       Anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS script has been written
       to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it
       or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted.
       Please check the following coverage information to know if it's ok.

This is normal?

[aluigi]

The zero size duplicated files explain why I correctly checked ZSIZE in the script. I did the job correctly the first time but I forget the details once the script is finished

And yes it's correct the error of the script with those empty embb files, that error tells you that the input embb file is shorter than 16 bytes indeed.

[Tosyk]

Luigi, thanks for your time — script working perfect now!

[erik945]

Thank you again! All work fine.

[Noriuen]

Does anyone know where the sound files are?
