*.STR Files

[Simpson55]

Hi
I'm ripping some stuff from an xbox (original) game and I noticed that ~90% of the files have an -STR extension, all the sites I've found say these are music files but the music files in this game are -MUS files, whilst the other audio files are easily openable -EXA files.
So I'd say these -STR files contain compressed models and textures but I prefer to ask just to be sure, does anyone here know what else it could be?
Thanks

they could be anything but most likely some sort of archive format

what game is it? do you have any samples?

It's from the game From Russia With Love, I've posted a topic about the PSP version on the Graphic File formats forum but this time it's the xbox (original) version.

Here are some of the files : https://www.sendspace.com/file/5s59rt

so it is archive format, but nowhere near straightward

So there's no known way to open these files ?

not without spending time reversing the format (which is what this forum does). i didn't get very far:

Code: Select all

//--------------------------------------
//--- 010 Editor v5.0 Binary Template
//--------------------------------------

void align() {
  FSeek((FTell()+2047)& ~2047);
}

char coTS[4];
uint a, b, c, d;

struct Entry
{
  uint a, b;
  uint unkn;
  uint c;
  uint len;
  char oname[len];
  uint pad[4];
  uint len2;
  char name[len2];
  uint fnlen;
  char fn[fnlen];

  ubyte data[b];
};

align();Entry e1;
align();Entry e2;
FSeek(0x7e800);
//ushort skipme;
Entry e3;

Oh ok, although, I don't know how to use 010 editor

Sorry to be insistent but is anyone able to give me some advice on how to open these pesky files or at least on how I could figure out how to do it by myself ?
