Rip or open files of Burnout Revenge (Xbox 360) and how?

Hi all,
I'm here this time with a big question: Rip or open Burnout Revenge (Xbox 360) files?
Because I had tried in all methods to rip 3d models of the game with ninjaripper on Xenia emulator... nothing works, and i have a idea of why it doesn't: it perhaps that latest Xenia build uses only DX12? If is ir, I don't wonder why NR dosen't works. Is perhaps another Xbox 360 emulator that NR actually works?
SO
I'm thinking to open the games vehicle files: .BGV, tha'ts the same used on Burnout 3 and Dominator (i I remember)... but I don't found a good tutorial here... So someone can explain me how to open theese 3d files, if possible on details?
p.s. I saw someone on Sketchfab does it, but idk if he opens the files or ripped from the game. If is the second one, how he does it?
p.p.s. here the file:

use offzip (see forum threads how to use it), then
hex2obj (view link in my sig)
.

Ok, but what is Offzip? And what is it for?

It's for decomressing files wtih zipped data blocks contained.

But there isn't any zipped data blocks into the .BGV file...

There is. Use
offzip -a -z -15
Car1A.bgv [folder2extract2]
.
Code: Select all
- open input file: Car1A.bgv
- enter in directory: D:\bgv
- zip data to check: 32 bytes
- zip windowBits: -15
- seek offset: 0x00000000 (0)

Ok, I get it.
And Offzip gave me this screen
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmcysiiytz6xg ... d.jpg?dl=0
and it found these files:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h3zoslp66yfps ... s.jpg?dl=0
Question: what should I do with these .dat, vbq, .666, ect. files? Are they the submeshes' hex codes?

I dunno.
Start loading
00000002.dat (unzipped from the
Car1A.bgv) into
hex2obj. Get the mesh (File/SaveAs mesh).
Then check other .dat files. That's how I'd do it.

I haven't got a 00000002.dat
the files stars with 0000cad0.dat
And... how I understand where are the mesh? (yes, I'm not very into hex...
)
because
I tried to open the 0000cad0.dat file with Hex Editor Neo and give me this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wahmcon5vlz4s4s/1.jpg?dl=0
p.s. i attached the file here

read the tutorial (tut button in

00000002.dat (If you did we can talk again.)

You should never use Offzip for final extraction proccess. The whole file is zlib-compressed so simply decompress all data into a single file.
Then you'll see those offsets in the header pointing to different blocks of the data:
PTRs.png
And each block has more relative offsets to other data.

I'm sorry, but I noticed now that I worked until now with the Xbox file instead of 360's one (despite I give to you the right file) ... I am stupid, sorry again

I want to say sorry also to you, for the same reason that I explain to shakotay2... I think I understand what you say, but exactly you mean that the first "string"(00002210), when I found the 00000030 on 00002210 address, is the start of meshes on the .bgv file? Or on the .dat file?
correct me if I'm wrong (I hope I understand something
)

Ok, I think I'm wrong... and my question is: when I find the end of the realtives offsets? When I find the "string" FF FF FF FF? Because the only thing I understand is that I can find the 00002210 as address and I find the 00000030...
I tried to address also the 00000030 and it reminds me to 3f7073eb... and then? I mean, I can't put 3f7073eb as address... what should I do?
I tried also to enter the 00002210 address into the Car1A.bgv (right this time
) and it give me this "string": FD9CF401... and is in the middle of the scrambled alphabet...

You were talking about "how" instead of "when" I suppose? And what's this "FF FF FF FF" "string"?

You jump to 0x2210 + 0x30 = 0x2240 of course, that's why it's called a relative offset.

I simply decompressed the whole Car1A.bgv and saved as the file "Car1A.bgvd" where the "d" indicates "decompressed". It's a total different file and has nothing to do with the original data in Car1A.bgv.
