*.STR Files

Hi
.gif "Smile")
I'm ripping some stuff from an xbox (original) game and I noticed that ~90% of the files have an -STR extension, all the sites I've found say these are music files but the music files in this game are -MUS files, whilst the other audio files are easily openable -EXA files.
So I'd say these -STR files contain compressed models and textures but I prefer to ask just to be sure, does anyone here know what else it could be?
Thanks

It's from the game From Russia With Love, I've posted a topic about the PSP version on the Graphic File formats forum but this time it's the xbox (original) version.
Here are some of the files :

not without spending time reversing the format (which is what this forum does). i didn't get very far:
Code: Select all
//--------------------------------------
//--- 010 Editor v5.0 Binary Template
//--------------------------------------
void align() {
FSeek((FTell()+2047)& ~2047);
}
char coTS[4];
uint a, b, c, d;
struct Entry
{
uint a, b;
uint unkn;
uint c;
uint len;
char oname[len];
uint pad[4];
uint len2;
char name[len2];
uint fnlen;
char fn[fnlen];
ubyte data[b];
};
align();Entry e1;
align();Entry e2;
FSeek(0x7e800);
//ushort skipme;
Entry e3;

Sorry to be insistent but is anyone able to give me some advice on how to open these pesky files or at least on how I could figure out how to do it by myself ?
