Where the Wild Things are (Wii) .res ripping

Post by aidan9030 »

Hello,

I’m attempting to extract from .res files, namely the models and textures.
I haven’t found anything related to this game yet.

Any help?

It's another version of the format used in Shrek and Spider Man Web of Shadows and it's pure chaos, in fact the existent script doesn't work with this file.
It's complex but I have made an update:

Alright, the files have been decoded.

They're filled with what look like compressed .dat files and an .m_a file (which contains the textures)

Any help to decompressing these files?

*sigh*

bump

I may receive a bit of hate for this, but an m_a file is impossible to find details on and a .dat is a wild card
