Frostbite model tools (Battlefield, Battlefront and others)

Is this script and the UFBE going to be updated? Since they broke extracting?

Unfortunately when comes about Battlefront II game based on recent updates ONLY Frosty v1.0.4.2 can gain access to its contents, for mas extraction of the WHOLE GAME DATA nothing that exists out there will work, who knows maybe in the future it will be supported by UFBE.

Damn, thats a bummer. Cheers anyway man.

i can't covert .ebx files into .wav from NFS payback using the script fb3decoder.py, every time i run the script after some conversion it stops and it says:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\alisu\Desktop\non usati\-Estrattori suoni + config backup-\estrattore battlefield-rivals\boh\convertitore ebx in wav\prova\fb3audio_nfs.py", line 550, in <module>

What can i do to fix this? Thanks a lot!

Whenever I try to "scan bundles" with UFBE, it finds 0 bundles. I figured something was wrong, but tried dumping anyway. It instantly gave this log:

Code: Select all

Scanning bundles...
0 EBX, 0 duplicates
0 res, 0 duplicates
0 chunks, 0 duplicates, 0 unique chunks
0 total.

Scanning CAS database...
412406 entries, 36696 precache entries, 1102076 duplicated entries.

Dumping files...
0 file(s) dumped seccessfully.

If I try using swbf2full.py, the moment I press run, it says:

Code: Select all

 RESTART: D:\Program Files\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II\Tools\swbf2 dumper script\swbf2full.py 

and doesn't do anything.

Any help would be appreciated,

Whenever I try to "scan bundles" with UFBE, it finds 0 bundles

in latest update SWBF removed all SB/TOC files. UFBE doesnt support this game currently.

python scripts will not work either

Oh OK. Any plans to fix the tool?

The Frosty editor program is written in .NET, so it should be trivial to decompile it, see how it finds and loads files inside of the archives, and write a script that mimics that functionality to dump every file instead of just specific ones. I'll leave the implementation to the original Python script developers since they've been doing pretty good so far on their own.

If you look here, it seems the new SWBF2 uses a sort of filelist.

i doubt i will have time for it this year
maybe in 2019
only maybe!

can i export animations?

[mono24]

can i export animations?

No, but I am sure in the future that will be available in some form, there is a lot of interest by many out there, time will tell.
But to answer your question better, any asset the game has, animations included, can be exported, just cant be converted yet to usable formats that are known.

Trying to get some NFS Rivals 3d map files, I've used bf4dumper python script from bfeditorORG. After +2h and an error, I've got many stuff exctracted (even if not all, due to an error) but not a single meshset file so I could use the MeshFile_Type_Reader... Trying to look every page of the forum, no solution for now. What is my error, folks?

btw. strange thing, walking around for another solution to extract Rivals game map meshes, I went to look for nfs edge. If one of you guys have seen the nfs edge file structure (which is kinda chinese modified nfs rivals), there are no cas/cat files and win32 folder contains .sb and .toc files, even the Data folder has only .das files,
should I forget nfs edge?..

The game can be extracted easily with out errors and all assets in order and yes it can take hours, tell me your steps, what you did, what you used exactly and I am more than happy to help you get it all dumped.
Because there are so many scripts variations out there that its not even funny anymore, that is why Daemon wanted to be a universal Frostbite dumper for all games, its just is limited for now, and until then python scripts will do just fine.

I am sure someday an extractor/dumper will surface by whomever wants to tackle it, until then it cant be extracted, because I too am interested.

Well, first I used Bf4 Sbtoc Dumper by Frankelstner, than I wait for a while and I get this error :

Whereas +5Gb of the game is already extracted. Not having much choise with this repeating error, I run Bf3_MeshFile_Type_Reader from here on xentax, I click on bf4 (otherwise it doesnt work) and the tool sorts all available chunks and meshes together. That's it, at this final stage I only get .mesh and chunk files, also itexture, which is, as I see, must not a big deal to transform into dds.
Now, what shall I do to get the 3d files with coordinates (talking about 3d map files)? As I've seen here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7679&start=75
with nfs the run, map files have coords in the name of the file, which will be quite easy to just use these coords and put every piece in its place in order to assemble the entire map in 3ds max (or blender if not?).
