converted all bk2 to bik with a bk2 file extension so the game recognizes it
and to avoid bpk compression errors bitrate is the same so the video is lossless due to that

game tested and working fine

-----note
careful with the telltale tool i only used it on season 1 do not use it unless you are willing to play the game all the way through to make sure nothing is messed up
messing with the ttarch2 files even just decrypting them you can seriously mess the game up
the files were also decrypted but i opened the game up to fix the exorcist
like head movements (savvy with video animation so i can do that in alot of games)

bpk+srep make any sense?

If i remember right srep does change nothing in size after bpk was applied.

Andu21 18-03-2018 09:23

^Depends on the input, in this case bpk only gives 386 MB.

Yeah Andu21 is right, it depends, sometimes srep can give you few MB`s.

also tip for making radtools encode to bink2
if you are batching wait until it compiles the list..
open a notepad and copy and paste the contents
into the notepad.
in the notepad click replace..
in (find what) type bik
in (replace with) type bk2
click replace all..
replace the radbatch with the notepad edit and click start.
