Hi, people!
I want to translate the dialogs for Portuguese.
How to extract lngencfg0.bba and lngescfg0.bba files?

Thanks.

[Rheini]

not possible.
nevermind, who obviously had some extraction code, refused to release it.

[Csimbi]

Is anyone looking into this?
I would like to extract the LUA files.

I found the appropriate video names:

Code: Select all

videos\bluebyte_snd.bik
videos\bluebyte_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact1_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact2_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_alandra_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_elias_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_hakim_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_kestral_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_marcus_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_thordal_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final1_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final2_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final3_vid.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_vid.bik
videos\c00_intro_snd.bik
videos\c00_intro_vid.bik
videos\ubipresents_snd.bik
videos\ubipresents_vid.bik
videos\ubisoft_snd.bik
videos\ubisoft_vid.bik

At another location I found the audios (probably separate due to localization issues):

Code: Select all

videos\c00_endofact1_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact1_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact2_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact2_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_alandra_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_alandra_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_elias_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_elias_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_hakim_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_hakim_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_kestral_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_kestral_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_marcus_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_marcus_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_thordal_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact3_thordal_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final1_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final2_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final2_full_male_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final3_full_female_snd.bik
videos\c00_endofact4_final3_full_male_snd.bik

And finally, the XML files (that supposedly link video, audio and subtitles together):

Code: Select all

config\videos\start01.xml
config\videos\bluebyte.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact1.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact2.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3_alandra.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3_elias.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3_hakim.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3_kestral.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3_marcus.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact3_thordal.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact4.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact4_final1.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact4_final2.xml
config\videos\c00_endofact4_final3.xml
config\videos\c00_intro.xml
config\videos\ubipresents.xml
config\videos\ubisoft.xml

I might have missed a few since it's a manual copy-paste.
It should help you in finding out how the strings are stored/encrypted.

Hiya y'all!

Good to see there are still people working on the game! I am very interested in extracting meshes / textures from the game but I take it this is still very much impossible? I wonder if there's a way to utilize the SEED Map Maker tool to export whatever models you can load into the tool. Probably not. *sigh*

This must be the only game on the planet which isn't moddable. Impressive.

Hello guys;

Is that extractor working? I want to extract mission soundtracks and listen them without playing the game. They are just lovely! I have downloaded the extractor and here is text message:

Code: Select all

Selected source file: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\THE SETTLERS - Rise of an Empire\base\bba\lngensnd0.bba
Extracted byte 0 till 416805060 to asd
Extracted 1 files totalling 397MB!

Created file has unknown file type. What shall I do with it?

Please help me out extracting mission soundtracks!


Edit: I got it working but extracted .mp3 wont play at all. Any help is welcome.
