I assumed data chunks to be in these dirs:

\starwars\data\mp\cas.cat
\starwars\data\sp\cas.cat
\starwars\data\initial\cas.cat

Is that so? Also do you have a console or PC?

I am using a PC, Windows 8.1 64-bit.

The cat files are in these locations.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront\Data\Win32\installation\initialexperience\cas.cat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront\Data\Win32\installation\mp\cas.cat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront\Data\Win32\installation\sp\cas.cat

You have to find these lines

cat1Path = r"mp\cas.cat"
cat2Path = r"sp\cas.cat"
cat3Path = r"initial\cas.cat"

and change them to

cat1Path = r"Win32\installation\mp\cas.cat"
cat2Path = r"Win32\installation\sp\cas.cat"
cat3Path = r"Win32\installation\initialexperience\cas.cat"

Sorry, I don't have time to reupload the script now.

Thank you, that worked perfectly!

EDIT:Oops didn't see the page 2 LOL

Was anyone able to extract all sounds, and particularly, music? If yes, then I just update paths and update the script

Thank you for ubdate tool.
I unpack cas files. How I can restore body of data files (3d models) from *.mesh and chunks?

First of all, thanks for your efforts. Really appreciate it.

Sadly, it seems I'm making a mistake somewhere as it will not let me extract the files. I've replaced the bfDirectory targetDirectory and cat paths, but when I then try run the script it gives me a syntax error popup, saying invalid syntax. Specifically, it highlights this part in the script:

#Deal with the chunks which are defined directly in the toc.
#These chunks do NOT know their originalSize.
#Available fields: id, offset, size
for entry in toc.chunks:
targetPath=targetFolder+"/chunks/"+hexlify(entry.id)+".chunk"
if prepareDir(targetPath): continue
if toc.get("cas"):
try:
catEntry=cat[entry.sha1]
if checkchunk(catEntry.path,catEntry.offset):
LZ77.decompressUnknownOriginalSize(catEntry.path,catEntry.offset,catEntry.size,targetPath)
except:
print "chunk not found", hexlify(entry.sha1)
else:
if checkchunk(sbPath,entry.offset):
LZ77.decompressUnknownOriginalSize(sbPath,entry.offset,entry.size,targetPath)

I probably made some silly error or forgot something totally obvious, but any help would be greatly appreciated

You need python 2.7.x
Somehow this script is not working with python3 and later

Thanks for the answer.
I'm afraid I've hit another bump though

Yeah, I'm pretty bad at this sort of thing :/

google says you prob need the 32-bit python

That did it! Extracting the files now, thank you so much for your help and patience

Let me know if sounds get converted

The extraction worked flawlessly as far as I can tell.

When I use the Fb3decoder to conver the files I get this:

>>>
XAS1 dll detected.
EASpeex dll detected.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\BattlefrontDump\fb3decoder\fb3decoder.py", line 100, in <module>
startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW'
>>>

It seems python is VERY sensitive to its version. Try installing exactly the version I have: 32bit 2.7.3
