FEZ 'other.pak' File Decompression Help
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 5:28 am
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Lately, I've been interested in viewing some of the resource files for the game 'FEZ', as there's still many unsolved mysteries and secrets that still lie within the game, and pretty well hidden. I thought I might check these files to see if I can find something, as well as get a better look at the artwork. Checking through the main game file in a HEX editor, I managed to find a few interesting, somewhat official names for things inside the game, like room names and a few other interesting pieces of information about the mysterious world in the game through the resource file names. I extracted all the files using wxpirs.exe, and the resource files like the textures (which are pretty much mostly pixel art) seem to all be inside a file titled 'other.pak', which is in a folder titled Content, along with with 'essentials.pak' and the folders Music, Sound, and Videos. I have been unable to convert the music XWB file to a playable WAV format for some reason (but it would also be great to have help with). Unfortunately, I've tried many different tools to extract or even decrypt other.pak, but have had no luck finding anything that can extract these files. Most programs just give me an "unrecognized format" message.
I've tried many different things, so I've finally decided to stop trying myself since I'm not that experienced in this kind of stuff and ask those who might actually know better to help.
So, do any of you think you can help me figure out how to decompress this .pak file?
