God of War - Database
 

Note : If you are using HxD, make sure to use 1 less decimal, For example

lvl_for000.sbp | 0 - 20320 |, then use | 0 - 20319 |

Freeware Hex Editor XVI32
 

XVI32

http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delph...vi32/xvi32.htm

It is just like any Hex Editor, but it supports command line usage.
One application of the XVI32 is GOW SBP Tool.

GOW SBP Tool
 

Usage :

Put the contents under "GodOfWar\exec\wad\pc_le\soundbanks" and run "GOW SBP Tool v1.0.bat"


It will remove all content before BKHD and make your .sbp compatible with QBMS script.

KaktoR, is this what you wanted?

Masquerade provided some useful batch commands.

Note : All i did was give the idea of conversion and wrote the batch, XVI32 still does the job. I have provided the database for manual method one post above.

TearDownDecrypt.NET

• Decryption tool for TDE files found in the game TearDown.

• You don't need to use it with FreeArc. Since it's non-solid, it's just as good, if not better, to run it standalone with a batch file.

Thanks to lyhyl for some code used in this project.

Upon extracting audio from sound banks, you might encounter .dat files.
they are not named as .wav because their header isn't "RIFF".

You can convert it to a compatible .wem that works with WemTool.

Delete everything in HxD until you see "RIFF".

GOW SBP Tool Update v.1.1

Changes :
More stuff to come.

I can't edit the main post for some reasons.

Modifed Gust PAK Tool for Atelier Sophie 2

• I compiled this version based on the differences proposed to the source by 20051231.
• This will allow you to unpack and decrypt the archives for Atelier Sophie 2 and rebuild them. You can XDelta them to the original archives.

• To unpack:
  
  Code:

  ---

  gust_pak -k dGGKXLHLuCJwv8aBc3YQX6X6sREVPchs "<input pak file>"

  ---

  To repack:
  
  Code:

  ---

  gust_pak -k dGGKXLHLuCJwv8aBc3YQX6X6sREVPchs "<input_json_file>

For more info, read here.

124 Files, because other banks are not worth it.
After 124 All .sbp < 1MB

Forza Horizon 3 Filename Cipher
Forza Horizon 3 Filename Decipher Tool

• A little tool I wrote in C# to make reading the folders and file names from FH3 significantly easier :)
• Usage:
  
  Code:

  ---

  FH3FilenameDecipherTool.exe <input string>

  ---

• Give encrypted input string to receive an output in plain English.

TAK: (T)om's lossless (A)udio (K)ompressor

• You may already have heard about TAK through ProFrager's MSC, it passes WAVE audio to TAK for it to be compressed.
• However, some audio MSC will skip over that TAK can still compress perfectly, so in this case you can use TAK directly with FreeArc to squeeze out even more compression.
• You MUST use solid = 0 option since each WAVE audio file should be compressed individually.
  
  
  Code:

  ---

  [External compressor: tak]
header    = 0
solid      = 0
packcmd    = {compressor} -e -p4m $$arcdatafile$$.wav $$arcpackedfile$$.tak
unpackcmd  = {compressor} -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tak $$arcdatafile$$.wav
datafile  = $$arcdatafile$$.wav
packedfile = $$arcpackedfile$$.tak

Data Sheet for Weird West: Build 8447248

• Use this BMS script to unpack the videos from the game archive specified below then you can patch out the flagged files using SFK.
  
  Code:

  ---

  quickbms -f *.mp4 ue4_27.bms <path_to_pak-file> <path for extracted files>

  ---

• PAK contains duplicated movies (some are at a higher bitrate than ones in the Movies folder).
• Tutorial Movies are 1:1 copies so you can rip them from the pak entirely and patch them back in using source files in the Movies folder.

Tools for decompressing ZenStudios ".pxp" archives
 

Disclaimer: These tools are largely proof-of-concept and decompress MOST assets for MOST of the titles using this archive type (titles developed by the aforementioned ZenStudios).

It's recommended to use the attached QuickBMS script, as this is more compatible with "*.pxp" archives.

Again I'd like to reiterate, these tools aren't useful at all for processing archives, to be re-compressed, but represent a groundwork for potential researchers to build off of.

LA 0.4b Lossless Audio Compressor from FreeArc

This programs slow! Compression ratio its average 35-50% percentage.

Try it get ~30-35% faster compression? Edit Arc.ini file in:

-noseek switches, not tested in normal mode. Compression ratio compare to TAK 2.3.1 version its gets 1% better ratio. (tested from 2h vhs audio file.)

Source: 1 380 802 638 byte
TAK -p4m: 330 493 043 byte (~450s)
LA normal: 326 997 420 byte (~2294s)
LA high, noseek: 327 872 609 byte (~1555s)

WAV/WEM Extractor
 

Usage:
- Scans the input for WAV audio and extracts it to specified path.
- The audio may be a .WEM file, in which case you can use ww2ogg to convert it to playable OGGs.

Please report back bugs, Thank you.
