Two bigfile archive tools (pack and unpack)
Here are two tools, called Gibbed.TombRaider.pack and Gibbed.TombRaider.unpack. These tools are used to unpack and repack the "bigfile" archives used by Crystal Dynamics in their TR games.
The unpack tool is from by Rick (http://blog.gib.me/). He programmed a suite of tools for manipulating Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As TR uses the same game engine, he also made this unpack program for TR. The pack tool is in reality the pack tool Rick made for DEHR, which I modified to support TR. So most of the code is his, and a little bit from me. You can find the two programs here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19940372/gibbed/gibbed.zip Rick's source code is here: http://svn.gib.me/public/deusex3/ If someone wants it, I can provide the source code for the TR pack program. How to use unpack The tool is a command line program. Ideally, you specify 3 parameters. Check the help ("unpack -h") for all the possible options. 1. The project name: This is the name of the game you want to extract. The possible choices are: Code:
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (Xenon) Tomb Raider 7 Tomb Raider 7 (PS3) Tomb Raider 7 (PSP) Tomb Raider 8 Tomb Raider 8 (PS2) Tomb Raider 8 (PS3) Tomb Raider 8 (Xenon) Tomb Raider Anniversary Tomb Raider Anniversary (PS3) Tomb Raider Anniversary (PSP) If the game is not in the list, it's not that it isn't supported, but you may have to play with the program options a little. 2. The path to the archive ("bigfile.000"): Pretty self-explanatory. 3. The path where the files will be extracted: Again, pretty self-explanatory. Here is an example for Tomb Raider Underworld PC: And for LCGoL Xbox360: pack To repack the game files, it's quite simple. You specify the path to the extracted files, and the path where to save the archive. Just like so: (tip: if you pack the main archive, name it the same name it has in the game directory (bigfile.000 usually), as the program will create the multiple bigfile.### files) |

Uh-oh, this post is starting to attract the XNALara crowd and where they go, trouble soon follows...
Not to make water on your achievement (can't wait to try it) but it does pop up an error message saying the it requires .Net framework 4+ in order to work (XP Pro with 3.5 here). Will be good to get properly UV-mapped Underwear rooms though... |

I find it's an easy to use tool to repack the game files after doing modifications (there was already a tool that repacked the game files but it was hard to use I find). But yeah right now there is not much to modify in the game, so its use is limited Quote:
Unfortunately this tool does not extract game data (like models or textures), it only unpacks the "bigfiles" Last edited by sephiroth99; 11-07-12 at 23:02. |
