Frostbite model tools (Battlefield, Battlefront and others)

[mono24]

Just install my pre-order copy and try to modified the Deamon dump script for the beta
But it fail. If you have any suggestion...

Uninstall your Python software and make sure you do a clean install of it using Python 2.7.3 32-bit
Then check if you have the EXACT location where the game is located, just copy/paste from the window explorer page where the exe is.
double check for the cas.cat location, but from the looks of it you need to do a clean install for Python.

cheers

Effectively with Python 32bit it launch but still doesnt extract... I've got the "Chunk file not found" all the time... I will wait Deamon release a new script cause I'm really not an expert in this

I've just made a ZSTD wrapper for SWBF2 scrtipt to work with full game. As soon as someone who has the game (and not only few files like I do) will test it, it will be published here.

After that, everyone will be able to use my model/texture/facefixing tools as before.

To fix faces which were not in beta, I need their files.

[HeliosAI]

If you don't have someone to test it already, i have the full game and could do it. Either way, can't wait for this!

[daemon1]

ok this is the current state of testing

32-bit python 2.7.3 as usual
and you should change directories as usual

probably will dump most, if not all files

[Crageo]

I can't get anything working, i just get this
"abilities.toc
Error executing fb_zstd.

maybe its access rights. If not, check folder names.

[HeliosAI]

I get the same error, even with the new version. I turned anti virus and anything else that could prevent the exe from running off, and also set it to be run as admin. Folder names are these: https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/GU7uYtA.png
Only added one cat directory for now but i doubt that's the problem.

[daemon1]

I dont think you can set it to run as admin when its called from python. Anyway i still think its about access rights. Thy putting a few files into your normal drive (not origin folder) and run it there.

[daemon1]

also python sometimes messing up folder names with some special characters. Anyway, one user was able to run it already. So it must be just some naming/access problem. Usual for python scripts.

[HeliosAI]

Yeah really seemed to be about being in origin folder. Put it elsewhere and it works now. Thanks a lot!

[episoder]

yeh. a full dump? i'm not interested. frosty editor and mod should be upgraded to allow selective extraction and maybe mod it to make this a good game. you know it's flawed.

and... somebody shoot the moderators or garry himself on facepunch. this numb box is terrible. i don't get why i'm blocked from the modelling forum behind a stupid 'we only do gmail accounts' (which i can't register with a new mobile crap). i'd still like responding to casual support question that i know the answers for, but... i can't.

it all sux. maybe i should just leave.

[mono24]

maybe its access rights. Try this version. If not, check folder names.

Tried first version on the updated full game script as you mentioned, for NFS Payback, but I had to delete the .exe and the .dll you made for the SWBF2 game (otherwise the .exe you made would crash instantly, since its made for SWBF obviously) and I used the LZ77.dll and also to enable it in the script, after more than 2h of extraction an error popped out but I could not save it to post it here as python crashed.

There is a newly patched update for the NFSP game and wanted to try the script but no real success any possibility to make a version compatible please?
What files you need so I can upload for testing?

btw the script that extracts but shows error mid way, looks like this with the following modified lines by me:

Code: Select all

bf4Directory    =r"R:\Origin\games\Need for Speed Payback" 
targetDirectory = r"E:\3D Assets Game Geometry\NFSP_dump"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tocRoot  = r"patch\win32" #patched and xpack files FIRST
tocRoot = r"data\win32"   #unpatched vanilla files SECOND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
catPath        = r"Data\Win32\configurations\streaminginstallpackage\cas.cat" 
updateCatPath  = r"Patch\Win32\configurations\streaminginstallpackage\cas.cat"

catPath2       = r"Data\Win32\configurations\superbundleinstallpackage\cas.cat"
updateCatPath2 = r"Patch\Win32\configurations\superbundleinstallpackage\cas.cat"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LZ77 = cdll.LoadLibrary("LZ77")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
try: readCat(cat, catPath2)
except: print "Patched cat not found."

if "tocRoot" in locals():  dumpRoot(tocRoot)
if "tocRoot2" in locals(): dumpRoot(tocRoot2)

If I still try the first script made for SWBF2 beta regardless of modification for NFSP it will not read and extract the patched cas/cat from update folder, keeps saying "Patched cat not found."

Getting the Chunk not found problem. All directories are set to the correct places.

[HeliosAI]

I let it extract until it was done and it resulted in about 15gb extracted files out of ~50 that the game is. Most characters didn't extract (their folders are there but empty). The files that did extract work fine though so i'm not sure what goes wrong.
I get "Chunk not found" on a lot of entries too, while the folders are set properly.

If it helps i could provide more game files.
