Turok Evolution .TRE archives

Hello to all of you!
This is my first post and, well, simultaneously a call for help. Why I haven't posted earlier? Well, there was some problem with my registration and I never investigated the causes.
Luckily some admin activated my account - Thanks to whoever did that!

I'm quite active in the VGM ripping scene and recently got a request for
Turok: Evolution. All files but the videos are inside a
TRE archive (at least in the XBox and GameCube version). I've never seen a similar HEX structure (file and folder tables among the single files) and so far I couldn't find any extractor. I've tried DragonUnpacker, Multi EX commander, GameExtractor - all without luck.
Does anyone know a program that is capable to extract the files?
Thanks a lot guys!
Regards, Timo

I don't know of an extractor, but maybe you could post an archive and someone could write a BMS script.

Code: Select all
# Header
Get NUM_FILES long
Get UNK long
# Calculate data offset
Set OFF_FILE_DATA long NUM_FILES
Math OFF_FILE_DATA *= 16
Math OFF_FILE_DATA += 4
For I = 0 < NUM_FILES
# File info
Get SIZE long
Get UNK long
Get UNK long
Get UNK long
# Extract file
Log I OFF_FILE_DATA SIZE
Math OFF_FILE_DATA += SIZE
Next I
Get FILE_SIZE asize
Print "OK. Final OFF_FILE_DATA = %OFF_FILE_DATA%, expected %FILE_SIZE%"

Thank you kindly for this script. However if I extract another TRE archive, it splits right in the middle of plain text lists. So maybe this TRE file is different than the others.
I've searched them a bit via HEX and found a kind of script in plain text inside the archive that seems to be used to extract its contents. At least is has a list with files, sizes and offsets, but the latter don't match to the container itself. When I get to it, I'll upload one of these other containers tomrrow earliest. Maybe the script it's imortable in MultiEx commander or GameExtractor.
Thanks!

Fixed:
Code: Select all
# Header
Get NUM_FILES long
For I = 0 < NUM_FILES
# File info
Get OFFSET long
Get SIZE long
Get UNK long
Get UNK long
# Extract file
Log I OFFSET SIZE
Next I
By the way, many of the extracted files are also like TRE files, so you can extract them with the same script!
There are also some WAVs.

Hm, still not quite right: Extract the supertree0.tre and look at the first few files - they are still split in the middle.
Sorry to bother you...

I don't see any splitted file. Check if you're using the latest version of the script, and if it doesn't work, tell me the exact container & file no of the splitted file.
And what's wrong with the GC version?

Oh I'm so sorry!
I looked at the files once again and I saw that the files are not split but are single command files. I thought I saw some file list cut in the middle, but that's apparently not that case.
However, the GameCue version gives back the message "
0 files found". Could be a slightly different header - maybe you can post another script for the GameCube version? Thanks!

Ok, figured it out after a while: The GameCube version just has a big endian header (n00by, I know...). So just add
to the above script and it works.
But can anyone tell me why the sequence
Code: Select all
Get NUM_FILES long
If NUM_FILES > 65536
ReverseLong NUM_FILES
Endian big
EndIf
doesn't work when added to the above script? Thanks

What doesnt work?
Why you want to do this, when you already changed it to big endians?
Post whole code..

I wanted to make it work for both archive formats. That' the code I tried:
Code: Select all
Get NUM_FILES long
If NUM_FILES > 65536
ReverseLong NUM_FILES
Endian big
EndIf
For I = 0 < NUM_FILES
# File info
Get OFFSET long
Get SIZE long
Get UNK long
Get UNK long
# Extract file
Log I OFFSET SIZE
Next I
Message is always: 0 files found
