During my tests I tried to use the "file extension guessing" feature of quickbms but all the output files were ".dat" (except for the png of Icon and Screenshot).
I don't know what's the MAGIC value for fbx/obj but if someone can provide more info I will be happy to add these extensions to the script.
I also suggest you to use a hex editor to give a quick look at the content of the extracted files and maybe have an idea of their formats.

. so wouldn't it be a matter of comparing the hex values of an original fbx/obj file to the dat files produced by quickbms to give you an idea of what the magic values need to be for the app to output the correct file extension for an fbx file? Attached is an fbx head file. I took a look in HxD but not sure what I'm looking at. I see the header obviously, but not sure about anything else after that. Hopefully this helps clarify things a bit.

Hello aluigi. Please see my message above. Has any progress been made with the quickbms recently? Please look into it when you have some free time. It would be huge if it could recognize fbx files. Thanks for your attention and stay safe.

Very good, I updated the script fixing about 3 things.
Now some files even have the original name.
The link is the same:

Really???
What I mean is that the extraction worked perfectly with the file you provided.
No errors, so you probably selected the wrong files or who knows (you didn't provide any detail)

Same file format, but different game. It manages to get the paths and folders right, but the extracted files are just 1kb. Expected are dds or png files. It outputs some bigger files into the main folder, but I can't figure a way to open or use them.
Could you take a look? Thank you!

This script seems to almost work on BF2 .fbmods but there is some kind of extra number being added to the output size vs real size. Is there way to make it work fully?

Hello . could you update the fifa18 bms script to do .fifamods files too please? An example file is below. It would really extend the life of an entire modding communities. So if you have the time please have a look.

Please note that there are tons of variants of this format and some of them have no sense at all (like an additional byte after the size that I don't know how to guess it), therefore I doubt there will ever be more updates about this script.
