This script only works with the GOTY Edition of the game. Here's the original version's asset file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/30ga5so2 ... ecutter.7z

On a positive note, it already works with Backyard Football 2006.

The script is also compatible with Backyard Hockey 2005.

This leaves Backyard Baseball 2005 as the only unsupported one of Humongous Entertainment's Renderware games, but I don't think adding support for that game is really necessary. It already has a working extraction tool. It no longer seems to be available on the web, so I'm uploading it and its source code here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/o9ijt49j0 ... b05rip.zip

Just in case someone does want to add support for the game regardless, here's its trimmed .met file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/fi4id864f ... ecutter.7z

The format is different (and much simpler) than the one used in the other Backyard games so I had to create a new script:

Thanks. The script's output appears to be identical to bb05rip.

You misnamed it though. The game it works for is Backyard Baseball 2005. The other script in this topic supports Backyard Hockey 2005, both versions of Backyard Skateboarding, and Backyard Football 2006.
