Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Here is an extractor for the SVO files .... http://www.brisma.net/2008/09/15/tales- ... g-parte-1/ .... but then you still end up with the fatduck's mysterious .dat files.....

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Actually, you can easily "unpack" the svo file!
Here is my QuickBMS unpack script:
The problem is after extract, all individual files are then compressed with a unknown method!
By the way, that link to the blog have another game I am interested, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology (PSP).
But I can't understand, is it spinish? Coud you translate it for me? http://www.brisma.net/2008/03/29/tales- ... ology-psp/
Here is my QuickBMS unpack script:

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
it's italian it talks about the file structure of arc files (veeery simple, i made an extractor/reinserter but i lost it with my hard drive ) and then it talks about sub-archives which are simply compressed with gzip
[edit] i found the Unpacker and the Bin Dumper

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Here is the tales of Vesperia extractor
http://www.tbhreloaded.it/Vash/VsoEx.rar
I am close to an decompress program it is very close to lzss.
it looks like a modified version of it like the fpk format.

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Do you mean 8ing fpk format! I know that format but I have no cue on this one!
Any news!?

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
The tool xbdecompress.exe extracts these files perfectly

Which version of xbdecompress did you use?
I use the one aluigi post and it didn't work!?
I got the message said:
xbdecompress: error: file was compressed using an encoder with different version than the decoder
xbdecompress: warning: failed to decompress to file est_c001.res
The header in Tales of Vesperia files are 0F F5 12 EE!!!
I also tried aluigi's BMS script, but it crash!?

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Hi guys, I found this topic by lurking and googling, and I thought I'd add my two cents.
I've done a little bit of tampering with the files, and this is what I got:
Using files from the game:
1. Using VsoEx, I unpacked chara.svo, I then got multiple .dat files with a 0FF5 12EE header.
2. Using xbdecompress rev 6654, I uncompressed some of these .DAT files successfully (and more precisely BTL_PAT_C000_DEF.DAT)
3. I'm now stuck with FPS4 files that I can't unpack, be it with fatduck's BMS script (gives bogus files) or VsoEx (gives a segmentation fault). These files seem to contain more FPS4 files...?
Using files from the demo:
After having unpacked UI.svo, I got multiple .TXM and .TXV files, the former being, I guess, maps of the latter.
After playing a little with TileMolester, I noticed that the .TXV files were 32bpp, GRAB and swizzled images.
Using 360deswizzle, I found myself with "proper" DDS files. I then just had to switch the R G B and Alpha channels with Photoshop.
Result sample:

So all that's left to do is, I guess, unpack the above mentioned FPS4 files.

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Code: Select all
get NAME basename
string NAME += ".unpacked"
comtype PUYO_LZ01
get TYPE byte
get ZSIZE long
get SIZE long
savepos OFFSET
clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
the fact is that using comtype lzss "12 4 2 2 0" wasn't good because the decompressed data is bigger than how much specified by the header (the second 32bit value) and so the algorithm returned -1 while that PUYO_LZ01 does exactly the same but breaks at the specified output size.
Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
Nice job!
I was wondering, is there any way to deswizzle X360 Direct Draw textures that are not 32bit A8 R8 G8 B8? I found various textures that seem to be swizzled 16bit A4 R4 G4 B4 (i.e. I can only get the colors right by swapping the A and G, then R and B channels, but it's still scrambled) and also some 8bit textures. Not sure if this is relevant to the thread, but... I'd appreciate any help.
TXV files are simply big endian DDS files without header. Header information is stored in a TXM map file
TXM structure (C-like code)
Sample files (COMALL.txv contains various texture types, I also snipped the part that's 16BPP) :

Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
if you create an xpr out of the images you can use unbundler.exe from the xbox sdk to deswizzle them.
Re: Need help on Tales of Vesperia[X360] files
It worked like a charm! Thanks!
