BFS Tool

[PeterGreen]

I'm "looking" for BFS Tool for FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage...

[xxkekkonenxx]

Thre isn't any bfs unpacker to FO:UC.
Correct me if im wrong.

[Pavcules]

As not all of us have got the game yet, can you try the FO2 BFS Unpacker and see if that works?

hi i am from germany
i test it yesterday on 3 pc`s (xp pro sp2)

C:\FlatOut>bfs2pack.exe data.bfs
Karoks bfs2pack.exe, alpha5_2
Unpacking data.bfs
data/tracks/nascar/nascar1/b/lighting/sh_w2.ini inflating .ok

then crash the program and stop at ~350kb



why  

[PeterGreen]

BFS2Pack 1.5 doesn't work either.

[Pavcules]

Have to wait for Gulbroz to investigate and tweak it for FO:UC.

[GulBroz]

I have to look in my files, but I must have a Xbox360 compatible version somewhere (decompressing was ok, recompressing not tested)...

Maybe it will be able to uncompress .bfs from FO:UC...

[GulBroz]

Ok, here it is... BFSpack V1.6b1 with support for Xbox and Xbox360 bfs file format (console version only, will do GUI when it's working...).

If we're lucky, they did not change format for FO:UC from Xbox360 to PC version (developpers are lazy, so there's a good chance it's the same format)....

Code: (Syntax)

Karoks bfs2pack - Flatout2 bfs archive packer/unpacker
Have fun!

Usage: bfs2pack_con.exe <a|x|l|d> [options] <foobar.bfs> [[dir] | [files...]]

Modes:
   a                     create a new bfs archive `foobar.bfs`
   d                     dummy: simulates creation of bfs archive `foobar.bfs`
   x                     extract bfs archive `foobar.bfs`
   l                     list contents of `foobar.bfs`

Options:
   -h, --help            display this help and exit
   -V, --version         output version information and exit
   -z, --zip             forces zipping of every file
   -n, --nozip           do not zip any file (DEFAULT)
   -q, --quiet           runs bfs2pack without messages
   -v, --verbose         more messages when running

   -X, --xbox            bfs is in xbox format
   -Y, --xbox360         bfs is in xbox360 format
   -P, --pc              bfs is in pc format (default)

Arguments:
   <foofile.bfs>         bfs archive to pack to / unpack from
   [dir]                 directory to pack in foobar.bfs
   [files...]            masks of files to extract from foobar.bfs

Report bugs to https://www.sourceforge.net/projects/bfs2pack

So, basically to unpack bfs for FO:UC, you just have to do:

Code:

bfs2pack_con.exe x --xbox360 foobar.bfs

(replace foobar.bfs with whatever bfs is in game folder...)

Hope it will work... 

ATTENTION: This version is outdated, get V1.6b2 (including GUI version)

I'll be able to test it hopefully within the next few days. If it works, I'll also try importing the car models into zmod and see if the .bgm files are the same and will import.

[GulBroz]

Cars .bgm were not the same for Xbox360

[drag_racer]

then I'll send one to Oleg and see if he can update the FO1/FO2 plugin to also do FOUC

Unpacking works now with 1.6b1

[rizu]

And packing crashes bfs2pack_con.exe

It doesn't even start doing anything on vista 32bit. I tried pc and xbox360 modes, both just crash the program.

[GulBroz]

Unpacking works now with 1.6b1

Good news 

And packing crashes bfs2pack_con.exe

Bad news... , bud I did not really try the packing side as I had no way to test the resulting files.

Did you try with bfs2pack_smart_con.exe? (I don't think it will make any difference, but who knows...).
I'll check tonight what's wrong (I don't need FO:UC for packing, will try with some files from FO2 using --xbox360 flag).

...I tried pc and xbox360 modes, both just crash the program.

That is really bad... pc mode should work (it's supposed to work like V1.5). I must have forgot to initialize something...

[rizu]

And packing crashes bfs2pack_con.exe

Bad news... , bud I did not really try the packing side as I had no way to test the resulting files.

I tried v1.5 too.. same behaviour from commandline. Please note that I've never used these tools before so it may be userfailure too . What's funny is that with v1.5 gui interface works just fine. Could be something I'm doing wrong with commandline, how am I supposed to create for example new data.bfs with all contents of data-subdirectory?

I've tried bfs2pack_con a -Y data.bfs data
and several other stuff.
