Black Desert PAZ + Meta File

[Timos]

[Deadlymice]

The animation format is rather confusing :S
I've spent the day looking at it and I can easily determine the number of bones in the animation and where the blocks of data for each bone is but I have had no luck decyphering the blocks of data.

From what I've gathered so far:

Code: Select all

// File Header
0x00000000		char				 fileId[4];         // 50 41 52 20 "PAR "
0x00000004		unsigned_int16	fileVersion;
0x00000006		BYTE				 unknownData[10];

// Animation Details
0x00000010		unsigned_int16	boneCount;
0x00000012		float				animationTime;     // ?? Unsure about this ??
0x00000016		BYTE				 unknownData[4];  // If animationTime isn't correct this might not even be 4 bytes

// Array of Bone Animation Data
0x0000001A	unsigned_int32		boneHash;           // Hash value of bone, can easily get all the locations for these from using the .PAB files for reference
// Unknown layout of bone animation data
// Following data next boneHash is present

As for the data in between the boneHash pairs (the hash value for a bone is the start of the data block), the minimum size appears to be 0x3A (58) and I think the next step up size is 0x4E (68)
These blocks seem to be universally starting with the following data:

Code: Select all

02 00 00 00 E8 03 E8 03 E8 03

And the data "E8 03" appears to pop up a lot during this data, I'm unsure of the significance of this. The data isn't in the same format that it's in in the PAB files and I don't think it's in a 4x3 matrix (the step between 0x3A and 0x4E if representative of another key frame isn't a big enough step for another matrix). I haven't even been able to determine where it indicates what frame or timestep the animation data is for. And given the step sizes I've seen between the data I'm not even sure if they are storing the scale, position & rotation of the bone for each point in time (I'd like to think they aren't using bone scales though but that might just be my feelings on the matter).
I have a bunch of bookmark files that I can upload for hex workshop if anyone is interested.

Incase anyone is curious about the bone (PAB) files, I use the following structure with Hex Workshop (load it and map the BoneFile structure to 0x0 of the file):

Code: Select all

#include "standard-types.hsl"

typedef struct FileHeader
{
	CHAR		fileId[4];
	USHORT	 fileVersion;

	BYTE		unknown[10];
} FileHeader;

typedef struct Matrix4x4
{
	FLOAT 		data[4][4];
} Matrix4x4;

typedef struct Vector3
{
	FLOAT		x;
	FLOAT		y;
	FLOAT		z;
} Vector3;

typedef struct Quaternion
{
	FLOAT		x;
	FLOAT		y;
	FLOAT		z;
	FLOAT		w;
} Quaternion;

typedef struct Bone
{
	ULONG		boneHash;
	BYTE		 boneNameLength;
	CHAR		 boneName[boneNameLength];
	ULONG		boneParent;

	Matrix4x4	 boneMatrix;
	Matrix4x4	 boneMatrixInverse;
	Matrix4x4	 boneLocalMatrix;
	Matrix4x4	 boneLocalMatrixInverse;
	Vector3		boneScale;
	Quaternion	boneRotation;
	Vector3		bonePosition;

	BYTE			unknown[2];
} Bone;

struct BoneFile
{
	FileHeader	   fileHeader;

	USHORT			 boneCount;
	Bone 			  bones[boneCount];
};

Thanks works. waiting for CBT3 client

[Ekey]

If someone got access for CBT3 let me know.

[Sectus]

.

[archeagejp]

none.

[MrMoonKr]

Ekey's tool works fine for CBT3 as well

( It would be more better if extraction could be applied to single paz )

[mykolag]

Yes, PAZUnpacker works fine with CBT3.
Unpacked folder has 53,380,549,877 bytes
CBT3 - 6000 paz's files (CBT2 - 8822).

hey Ekey , why when i'm trying to download your PAZ unpacker - it says me - W32/Induc.A Virus.

Thanks for reporting. Here i attach new recompiled version and now it's 100% cleared!


Results: here

Thank you!

[MrMoonKr]

some normal map textures are mis-extracted.
their fourCC are 0x7C000000, but should be 0x44445320.

[archeagejp]

Has anyone ever extracted the client data files(cbt3)?

I extracted the sound files, but it wasn't playable on anything.

The same situation as this topic.

Did you apply latest 4 patches?
I think CBT3 client will have more updates sooooon...

How did you extract the CB3 FIles?

[mykolag]

You can use PAZUnpacker for CBT3 too.

[janii]

Hmmm Pazunpacker says "out of memory" after a minute of freeze
What does it mean?

Yup either crashes or I get that error.
Anything else doesnt happen
