Hello All,
Looking for a little bit of help i suck at compression methods, heh. i am currently only assuming the data is compressed given the information i see in the file, but i could be wrong. Any help figuring things out would be appreciated. Also if you know of any good resources or tips on picking out compression methods, that would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, sorry for bringing back up an old topic but have you had any luck with this so far? I've been trying at it and had no luck since all the files names are the same within them. But when I look at it in Hex Editor I can see they have other files compressed within there.

I just can't figure out the main compressed file. Since they have no name to it. Just be labeled like b file or something like that.

Well,...i finally found the initial compression method. Seems to work so far, through will have to test more and ensure that this is the only method used. The algorithm is so simple i am somewhat embarrassed it took me so long to find it. Hopefully everything will pan out and the rest of the internal formats will soon follow.

More information to come soon hopefully.

Awesome can't wait to see what will come of this.

Few more tests to run, and a number of bms scripts to write, and hopefully you all should be able to play around with things on your own, heh.

Don't know if i still have any files from that game to test with. i know i posted a start to a template in the thread, and from what i remember the format uses ps2 vif tags which i partially explain in a different thread. Can't remember how far i got initially, but i guess i can take a look again once i get access to the files again. Depends on how much effort it would take whether or not i would finish it before any of the other formats i am working on though. But i do plan to get back to a large number of formats that use the vif tags internally.

Awesome work thus far man, have you tested with both PS3 and 360 or just PS3 files? Either way nice work can't wait to see this done!

Wow very nice. I'm intrested in RB models. How it is going? Will you share us the the scripts here if you are ready?:)

Wow! This is awesome! I'm very surprised by this! Keep up the good work!!! Hopefully, we will get a nice importer soon!

any updates?

Have you completed this plugin revelation ??
If the dragon ball plugin for noesis already in complete condition,would you mind sharing it with us thanks a lot

I've been trying with these 3 files I have them all in the same directory. Unless I'm supposed to do something completely different with them. I'm not quite sure, I read what you said in there and found the vram and the ioram files for the same spr file.

000_goku_0_1p_X360.vram
000_goku_0_1p_X360.spr
000_goku_0_1p_X360.ioram

These files weren't in and order the were just extracted from the afsd of the directory root to it didn't have no _v _m _i folders that related to those files I believe. I mean yes they are there but how would these files apply to them? like I get folders like effect_blast_chara_000_00_i
effect_blast_chara_000_00_m effect_blast_chara_000_00_v for folders and continues going on like that.

But when I click on to do the spr file says file could not be previewed, so I know I must be doing something wrong in these steps. Unless the 360 models just do not work.

I suppose I just need more clarification on what to do. But still awesome that you did this.

Edit: Nevermind I found out that its because I had the 360 Version instead of PS3 Version. My bad.
