Hey kraw, do you what .big format is used in the pbphdr.big/pbpdat.big files - that russian asf/importer exporter is the only thing that can open them that I've found...

I do not think it is a true .big file. All .big files I have ever seen have BIGF as the file header

It is a file with the big extension

what is the pbphdr.off, it looks like to has the starting point and length of each asf in the pbphdr.big

as far as I can tell it is just a series of ASF files put to gether as one large file

sorta like what

 copy /b 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 and so on

would do

the .off file looks like how it is divided up

the file has a SCHl PT SCCl SCDl header

that is a EA ASF file header

this site explains the EA ASF header and has source code for a decompresser

Wow, thats a little more complex than I'd hoped, but there's a lot of good information in that link though,

Thanks!

Hopefully well be able to get working Montreal Expo audio in the game someday

I have to extract the hdr and the audio from the 04 pbpdat.big and convert it into the 05 tnamedat.big (which is a actual .big file)

What exactly does this do? Anything really different than before, or ground breaking enough to warrant changing apps?

well it allowed the crowd changer to work, installing it with gfxpak corrupted the fsh file, people would get missing texture errors

both FSHed & nfshtool would **** up the fsh file

It is also the only util to allow me to convert pc 2 xbox uniforms, It was possible before but not from the command line

it exports images better as DDS files, before it you had any fsh files with DXT image & mips your output would be one bmp for the main image, 1 for the alpha for each level

for example cram32.fsh, the crowd file would be export as 4 main files and 4 alpha files

with the new program 1 file

plus nfshool can not handle DXT images with mips and alphas, when it recreates the fsh it loses the alpha channel on thoose images

so the only way it edit them was with FSHed but FSHed will not work in a installer.

it does everything all the programs plus allot more and it is just one program

sorry, i lost a direct ip match to olyrunner and the bet was that if i lost, i could never doubleclick anything that has the name "fifa" in it till 2009, hence her name, Oly The Butcher.
