Mr. Mouse, any updates to the possible compression method? I have only made myself more confused!

There are two types of textures-- a low res and a high res. The high res compression has not been figured out.

Have you found anymore information about this format, Mr. Mouse? I understand some of the other control bytes but still can't seem to compile a formula for them. Any information is a plus.

I was very close to opening up .bin files where the body types are located.
but then I quit, because of other games that caught my attention.

How close? Any details?

That is great!! Thanks. I thought the 1 bits represented a byte add but I couldn't figure out the 0 bits. I still have a question---what would an "E5" or "11100101" represent as a control character??

"FF" definitely appears to copy 8 bytes to the stream file and "FD" appears to copy 6 bytes. Can you show me how this is accomplished using the formula from the Sims page? I am thoroughly confused.

I talked with Watto about this and he said it was similar to the Simcity4 format. I tried to understand the Sims format from this link: http://www.modthesims2.com/wiki/Packages It appears the compression is similar-- a type of RLE. I only know that it seems an "FF" control character means ...

At the top of menu, open "Archive" then "Scan for Basic Files". Select PAC file and it will find the TIM2 sections.

Use the "Scan for Basic Files" function instead of opening the file.

Game Extractor will search for TIM2 files and extract them. That's what I used.

Can you tell me what aspect of the file leads you to this conclusion? And, yes, it is those models.

Anyone with experience in 3D model files?? I am trying to decipher a game model file. Any help would be appreciated.

solved 10x is it possible open the other pac files with this tool opportunely modified? i think that all this files have a common characteristic i'm reading Definitive_Guide_To_Exploring_File_Formats_MW_2004 but it's too har for my little knowledge :) I have not been able to find a commonality betw...

Try comctl32.ocx and also the newest version of the visual basic runtime files is Service Pack 6.

P.s. Ok Ok u can kill me if u want

I really wish I could understand the models. I can't seem to decipher the format. Have a few clues but not enough to reconstruct the 3d data. I'll keep you posted.
