Help me with Formatting .Archive & .Fbmod FIFA 18

[CosmicDreams]

This isn't just FIFA by the way.
It's a Frosty Tool Suite mod format.
They aren't meant to be extracted to prevent mod theft but i suppose there's not much that can stop it from happening.
The format was updated recently.

Actually isn't made for theft, I'm as one fifa modder can say that. It was the onle way to import fifa textures to fifa 19

Was? You can import textures using Frosty Editor...

Also the "raw image data" that was mentioned is a chunk file commonly found in Frostbite engine games.
The image size and format is probably in the accompanied RES file.

So I should decompressed it. I've tried with raw image cooker but nothing. Is there a script to decompress the chunk file from frostbite?

[CosmicDreams]

Any idea why the file names are like this?

Bump

Well RIP.

You do NOT have to delete your posts!

Script updated to version 0.3:
http://aluigi.org/bms/fifa18_fbmod.bms

I think the exctration don't work properly. I can't open any dump file neither with texture finder or raw texture preview

[aluigi]

Do you have new sample files to test so I can verify if there is any problem?

Here's another one of my own mods.
https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsbattlefront22017
Any of the newer mods from here also work as samples.

Chunk's come out as .IMG files for some reason and anything else comes as .DAT
The files also appear to still be compressed or something as well because the IMG file in the fbmod i linked is meant to be an audio chunk playable in vgmstream if you change the ext to .sps

[aluigi]

It's very simple.
Some files are compressed, others aren't.
There is no field saying if a file is compressed or not, probably because it depends by the filename and filenames aren't available.

Everything is perfect and the script 0.3.1 has the code for doing the job but it's commented otherwise it will not work.
It's up to you.

[CosmicDreams]

There is actually file names.

The one highlighted here is the DAT file that gets extracted.

The IMG is a bit further down at 0x2C0(It's a chunk GUID)

The format was updated to merge the fbmod and archive files together and i think the script currently looks for archive index things found only on the older version of the format that still used the .archive companion file.

Before each file name i noticed two bytes
The first file(the highlighted one) had 00 and 00 while the second one(the chunk) had 03 and 01
The second byte is definitely a id or something because the number increments with each file in the fbmod(i checked another one with a lot more files edited)

EDIT: After looking a bit more the first byte may be related to compression.

[aluigi]

Eh no, there are no information about that and there is only a path, no filenames.

I spent some time figuring out some fields but the ZERO at line 48 is the last field in common with the 2 samples I analyzed.
The following is the updated script (FROSTY ONLY!) for anyone who wants to continue the analysis (use quickbms -V):

Code: Select all

# FIFA 18 fbmod (script 0.3.1 ANALYSIS WIP!)
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org

get EXT extension
if EXT != "fbmod"
    print "Error: you must select the FBMOD file"
    cleanexit
endif

get DUMMY long  # 0x0183dc82

math DATA_FILE = 0

if DUMMY == 0x534f5246
    goto 0
    idstring "FROSTY"
    get ZERO byte
    get ONE byte
    get ONE long
    get OFFSET longlong
    get FILES long
    get NAMESZ byte
    getdstring NAME NAMESZ
    get DUMMY long
    for x = 0 < 5
        get NAME string
    next x
    get NUM long
    for x = 0 < 6
        get TYPE byte
        get ID long
        if TYPE == 0
            if ID != 0xffffffff
                get NAME string
                getdstring ZERO 0x14
                getdstring DUMMY 0x15
            endif
        else
            get NAME string
            getdstring DUMMY 0x20
        endif
    next x
    get ZERO byte
    get NUM long
    for x = 0 < NUM
        getdstring DUMMY 4
    next x
    get ZERO long
    goto OFFSET
    xmath BASE_OFF "OFFSET + (FILES * (8 + 8))"
    for i = 0 < FILES
        get OFFSET longlong
        get SIZE longlong
        math OFFSET + BASE_OFF
        log "" OFFSET SIZE

        /*
        savepos TMP
        goto OFFSET
        callfunction DUMP 1
        goto TMP
        */
    next i
    cleanexit
endif

The part of the path at the end is the file name. There's no extensions used in the files so it still looks like just a path.
Aside from that, dunno what else to say.

Some files are compressed, others aren't.
There is no field saying if a file is compressed or not, probably because it depends by the filename and filenames aren't available.

Master, can you see the message that I wrote, moment ago

[aluigi]

@MITA996
Your previous message was "delete post".
As far as I can see (since I can't remember this topic), that script was experimental so I don't think I can provide any help or update.

I thought you've never asnwer xd. Well, can you try modify script, that made Bigchillghost, the credits go to him, it won't extract fifa20 update fbmod, can you take a look, stay stafe mate
All samples in the link, also with the script: https://www.mediafire.com/file/hbvg640r ... e.rar/file

[aluigi]

Currently I'm a bit busy with the older topics.
It would take some time and effort to understand how to fix that script.

Okay master, looking forward to it. take care and all the best in this tough times. p.s. the formats are in t20, so it can be seen in noesis

Script 0.4:
http://aluigi.org/bms/fifa18_fbmod.bms

Yeah I decided to work on my old script which is now very complete and supports both versions 1.1 and 1.3 of FROSTY archives.
Some archives have duplicate files, just select 'r' for automatically renaming there.
Let me know how it works.

Thanks for the reply, export works great, but files can be seen with noesis, it said: error such file no exist. I tried to open with some dump with raw texture cooker and It worked, thanks master!
Also is it possible to find model files, perhaps hair or head, it should be fbx or in obj format?
