What I get from what your saying is that you forgot to have in same folder the skeleton.ebx file, that's why you get 0kb in size, no one can really help and just guess, if you guys don't explain what you did exactly so we can see what's going on.
Go trough the steps once more, follow it carefully and see what's going on.

Well now that I know what is your talking about, its already been answered, here:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17236&p=138712#p138712

BUT, from what I can see in your image, something went wrong with your extraction, there are no .MeshSet extracted to work with, .MeshSet is needed for geometry.
What did you extract it with?

I was able to extract most of the audio files, thanks to daemon and everyone here who posted their issues and how they were solved.

Does anyone have the z6 riot baton sounds from the a3 folder? I don't get any audio files when running the audio decoder. I think it might be because it's part of the SP addition/update and not the original game.

Thanks for any help.

***
edit: I was able to get extract the riot baton effects (all 3 of them...) by using the SWBF2full python script on the patch folder. Thanks again for the tools.

i'm able to convert 3d models with "Chunk and Mesh file management tool BF1" and MaxScripts in 3ds max after extracting with python script, but with UFBE and "Fb_BF1_mesh.exe" i fail,

Code: Select all

E:\BF1 dump2>Fb_BF1_mesh.exe mp_pigeon01_mesh.MeshSet

Unhandled Exception: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
   at FB_faceposer.FB_faceposer.Main(String[] args)

tried with all skeletons from bundles\characters\skeletons\character , still the same

you have to provide chunk name as second parameter

[projectno253]

Is there a way to extract a specific chunk from a patch if I have the chunk name? I've been using the swbf2full script in the patch folder, but nothing so far seems to be getting the right chunk. Lots of "chunk not found" when running the script and occasionally getting to chunks0.toc and extracting chunks for some elements.

I got the chunk ID for the audio file I'm looking to get by converting the ebx file to text.

***
edit: happened to get the right chunk for the file. Posting in case anyone else wants to know how to get patch files out...

omg, thank you, i thought it will find automaticly from chunk folder

I'm having an issue with the face poser, I'm getting a "Asset not found in asset banks (2)" error when I try dragging vur_darthmaul_01.ebx onto Fb_SWBF2_faces.exe . When I extracted the files for SWBF2, I got 174 missing chunks. https://i.imgur.com/Q0SWqE4.png When I drag it the vur file onto the faces.exe, the cmd prompt shows up for half a second and closes. When I manually try to run it, I get Asset not found in asset banks (2) https://i.imgur.com/yv6pgED.png. My files are set up like this
working folder: https://i.imgur.com/qLMaK0T.png
head folder: https://i.imgur.com/coqqREw.png
assetbank folder: https://i.imgur.com/Z2zW3vh.png

I was reading the thread and I might have misunderstood, but I gathered the missing chunks are because of the DLCs/patches? I'm not sure if thats completely right. I've brought the folder back to Origin and repaired it and re-unpacked it with the same result. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
I'm following Croftys tutorial here. https://sta.sh/04jxcv9d9o0

i can't covert .ebx files into .wav from NFS payback using the script fb3decoder.py, every time i run the script after some conversion it stops and it says:

What can i do to fix this? Thanks a lot!
