Frostbite model tools (Battlefield, Battlefront and others)

[DerBlaueKlaus]

ohh ... bad news ... but OK ... maybe a bit later?

i have too many other games to do. So maybe months later ...

no problem

So yeah, its not the same for everyone, it depends what you have bought from Origin.

must also depend on game version. While I think data folder must not change with updates, but you never know.

It changes quite a bit, for instance, the script you made long time ago to work with SWBF it no longer works to extract everything from the game, lots of assets missing and chunks.
For example I am kind of late at the "party" and trying to collect all working scripts and maybe if anyone has new ones, that fully work, for Updates as well not just main game files, you never know.

This is probably a real dumb question but could somebody help me please, I'm trying to run the fb3decoder and I get this:

Code: Select all

XAS1 dll detected.
EASpeex dll not detected.
EALayer3 tool detected.

How do I install the EASpeex dll?

Just make sure its copied where the script is, all in same folder.

How can I avoid this?
System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long.

if path is too long, and you can't shorten your dump directory, there's no way to avoid this other than for me to add a handler to skip such files. Or you can extract these with no folders.

But it is so strange, it hasn't happen so far, I test/used it for BF1, SWBF1 one time I used it for SWBF2 then few days later wanting to try once more, I got the error, makes no sense.

On another note, are you planning in near future to support also Updates/Patches and the following games for extraction:
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Dragon Age Inquisition
Mass Effect Andromeda
Battlefield 3/4/HL
Need for Speed The Run (uses sb/toc only no cas/cat)
Need for Speed Rivals
Need for Speed 2016
Need for Speed Payback
FIFA

then it would truly be a universal frostbite extraction to support them all,
I can supply if you need any files for testing, just saying, you name it.

it depends on what do you call "near future"

[mono24]

Somewhere around or until Christmas of 2018?
No rush, its just sad its limited so far, but I've tested all three functions and its neat, as simple as that.
Yes, BTW, not exporting in folders/subfolders fixes the issue, but damn, what a mess LOL

HELP HELP HELP I am desperate

3rd post. No help recived. I have read the entire fourum, start to finish, 3 times. WILL LITERALLY PAY SOMEONE FOR HELP

How do i extract the audo files from the game? I have extracted the entire game and now just have a ton of .ebx files and CHUNK files. How do I convert them to audio files or how do i rip audio files from them? I understand there is an audio script for python. I do not understand how to use this script,. in conjuction with python, to rip audio files. Nobody has listed step by step instuctions on how to do so, yet I keep getting told to read the forum post.

Why is it so hard to get some help. Croftys tutorial was usfull for getting the files rippped from the game but the rest of their tutorial was all about textures. I strictly want only audio files.

I am actaully begging for help

Why is it so hard to get some help

nobody remember where instructions were
but they were somewhere
i have absolutely no time to look for it
i'm busy making tools

[daemon1]

Somewhere around or until Christmas of 2018?

no, but maybe after it. Maybe.

no, but maybe after it. Maybe.

DAMN, so that means well have another unfinished tool like others out there all over internet, all alone an abandoned, lol (unless that was sarcasm hehe)

How do i extract the audo files from the game?

Well. lets see, a step by step you say, ay?

-make sure you have python 2.7.3 32bit installed,
-get this audio script converter download/file.php?id=13430
-extract it somewhere you like, and right click on fb3decoder.py and select Edit with IDLE
-IDLE window opens showing you what the script is about,
-now modify the following black/green lines with where you dumped the game data such as the ebx/res/chunks
-first line is where you have dumped the whole game data

Code: Select all

dumpDirectory   = r"T:\0research\swbf2"

-second line where you want to dump the audio (make sure its not on same HDD where you dumped the game data to avoid HDD read/write errors and such),

Code: Select all

targetDirectory = r"T:\0research\swbf2snd"

-third line is very important as well, make sure to enter the path where you have the ealayer3.exe

Code: Select all

ealayer3Path=r"H:\my projects\progs\ealayer3.exe"

-now make sure you have these folder structures where you dumped the game data the same if not make sure to modify them accordingly,

Code: Select all

ebxFolder    = r"bundles\ebx" 
chunkFolder  = r"chunks"
chunkFolder2 = r"bundles\chunks"

-last step make sure you have in same folder where fb3decoder.py is both XAS/EASpeex .dll's
-now all you have to do is click F5 on your keyboard, click OK to save script if prompted, another window will open showing you the process, and it should go trough all ebx's to convert what ever has audio in it.

have fun

Hello there ...

got a 'lil problem while extracting BF2 after the season 1 download. Have I made something wrong?



... or will there be an update which supports the season 1 content completely?
