Hmm this is the one i'm using but it's giving me the same error. :/

Do you have the latest version of QuickBMS?
I'm using 0.3.14c.
(I would probably be more help if I hadn't deleted the file. )

Hmm does that version has a above 4gb file extractor?Besides i'm using the latest one with support for over 4Gb files too since aska0000.bin is a 22 GB file how were you able to open it in QuickBMS?Also i tried this script into extracting the files from star Ocean 3 Till the end of time since i figured even that uses SLZ file type format but it gave me the same error saying:

Signature of 4 bytes doesn't match the one expected by the script"

this one: "random number" (random sign)
(random string)

expected: "PACK" PACK
50 41 43 4b


I think there is an error in the script?

EDIT: Well i used the first script posted by Chrrox on aska0000.bin and it extracted alot of .pack files.I used the slz script on thos pack files and i got lot of .unslz and .ADTS files,well i can say that ADTS files are audio file but how do it extract models from the unslz file to view them on 3DS Max?

Whoops. Sorry. I forgot about that step. I haven't dumped any files in a while...
The files you want have a ASF header. Try PACK 9, file 3 for instance.
As far as extracting the models go, watch these:

It's alright,i saw the video and well it was complicated for me to understand. :/
Isn't their like a script already made to extract the models from the unslz files? :/

I'm not aware of any that have been released. I'm trying to do it myself,
but between my other projects and just not having the energy, I'm a bit behind schedule.

Lol,i think i remember seeing a thread where choroxx posted a picture of a model he had extracted,then maybe it's possible that he also might have released a script to extract the models?

I'm afraid you'll have to ask him yourself; I don't know.
This is what I've got so far:


I can see something that resembles a matrix in the object headers. Maybe that's the body part transforms?
A matrix stack maybe?: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx
Also chrrox mentioned it's using a bitmask.
If it's both, I'll fly over to tri-Ace's headquarters and kick Mr. Yoshinori Yamagishi in the mouth!

Hmm i think i'll wait a little longer and see if Chroxx releases his script. ^^"

Well i don't know how you did that or about the matrix stack or bitmask but goodluck and i hope you can complete it. ^^

Per chrrox's suggestion I've been poking around the PS3 version and it turns out the textures aren't swizzled at all!

Awesome. Were you able to solve the model mushball problem?

I was curious what some numbers in the object header were for so I used them and
managed to spread all the body parts out in a perfect 45° diagonal line.
That's gotta count for something right?

Hmm probably they are,maybe experimenting more with the number will put the model in the correct form?

Any advancement on how to rip the models off PS3 files? ^^"

I got distracted playing Final Fantasy XII (never played it before)
I'm taking the textures from the PS3 version and everything else from the XBox 360 version.
