Xenoblade Chronicles X/2 format bible

well done;~~

[PredatorCZ]

Just got my hands on XC2 Torna, arh/ard unpacker extacts files without problems.
All you need to do is rename bf2.ard to ira.ard at line 8 or so.

[masagrator]

I tried your script for arh file (Xenoblade 2 + update 2.0.2) and i got

Code: Select all

- c_structs (2): "if" "id2" "-1"

Error: invalid command "if" or arguments -1 at line 41

I tried on 0.9.2, 0.9.0 and 0.7.7
Always the same

Edit: OK, problem solved, it just copied wrong.

[MBychowski]

Is it possible to open and extract data from .wismda files?
It'd be pretty great to have access to the map models

[andree]

Code: Select all

- signature of 4 bytes at offset 0x000000000018d5e0 doesn't match the one
  expected by the script:

  this one: "~%"
  7e 98 25 f8                                       ~.%.

  expected: "xbc1"
  78 62 63 31                                       xbc1

- 24 files found in 6 seconds
  coverage file 0    53%   1036794    1929104    . offset 00000000000fd208
  coverage file 1     0%   1627499    11007429922 . offset 000000000018d5e4

So I tried extracting the updated .ard and .arh file with the quickbms script with quickbms version 0.9.2 and it didn't extract all files, is it the updated .ard and .arh files or it is the script itself I need to edit?

[kees]

is there a decrypted release out there?

There is hactool decryptor already released. It can extract/decrypt most NSW cartriges.


Here is another script, that will extract SAR Containers from both games.

ive tried it and tried feeding it into foobar with the .nop plugin but each time seem to get the file is corrupted. am i trying to read it out wrong or? even on quick bms 0.7.7.

So I tried extracting the updated .ard and .arh file with the quickbms script with quickbms version 0.9.2 and it didn't extract all files, is it the updated .ard and .arh files or it is the script itself I need to edit?

This thing is still being updated? Damn. From this error message, it seems, that file is marked as compressed, but actually isn't. Or they added something new to the archives.

If the file begins with sadf dpcm/opus and head, it's a valid nop file. Make sure, your filename extension is .nop, if you're using vgmstream plugin, it will detect formats by extension first. Also vgmstream only supports opus formats, so if you have the one with dpcm, it won't work.

I've dumped my RomFS, then extracted the files from bf2.arh and bf2.ard. I've also located this list of data tables online, which...seems to pull data from common.bdat ...?
I don't know how to edit anything here, how to compile those tables myself; the online collection doesn't seem to have an author listed, so I can't exactly ask them for help.

Specifically, I want to locate three tables: this AchievementSet table, so I can reset my Affinity Charts for a NG-like NG+ playthrough, this Blade data table so I can give Blades with only two Aux Core slots three of them, and optionally this Driver data table, so I can edit max HP and other stats for Rex, Tora, and Zeke.

Could someone please assist me? I know this game's old, and unfortunately almost no-one's working on this brilliant game anymore, and Xenoblade: Definitive just released, but I still much prefer this one.

how to extract .wifnt
Font?

[andree]

Here is a QuickBMS script version 2, that will extract contents of bf2.ard/arh archives. From Xenoblade 2.
Some extracted files will have [%file id%] %filename% names, cause is that script cannot find them in a tree. Cause is unknown.

Make sure that both ard/arh files are in same folder and in quickbms dialog, always select bf2.arh.

It works with Xenoblade 3's archive files, all you need to do is to replace bf2.ard with bf3.ard and zlib with zstd.

It took me 4 hours to extract around 76k files and around 7k had incomplete filenames. That's kinda unacceptable. The script is clearly flawed.

EDIT: Made a native tool in https://github.com/PredatorCZ/XenoLib/releases/

Please update your max tool for Xenoblade 3

He's already working on a new tool that replaces it.

Is anyone working on the new Bdat format for XB3?
I had trouble finding labels and value types.
