Hey guys.
Since I started on the walking graphics for Bleach: The 3rd Phantom, I figured I may as well go the full mile and handle the battle screen sprites too. Unfortunately, they're in a .cpk file that I'm having some trouble puzzling.
This is the cpk and
these are the files it yields using Quick BMS. I've tried using a .cpk unpacker as well, but it just gave me a bin file I couldn't use.
It looks like all the Bleach games use this same format, so if someone can help me with this, I'll be able to fill in the other games as well.
EDIT: Nevermind; forgot you could open individual files in Tinke too.
Okay, I've gone through all the files that are .CPKs, and there are a few that won't decompress using the script I have.
Here is a .zip of the CPKs that won't work.
Here's the BMS script I'm using to extract these:
Code:
# CRI CPK archives (script 0.3)
# derived from cpk_unpack of hcs - http://hcs64_com/vgm_ripping_html
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms_aluigi_org

Just a small update: I've tried just about every other CPK unpacker I can find and haven't had much luck. Tried looking at the header between ones that have worked and ones that haven't, and I can't find anything that stands out.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. I'd hate only to leave this half finished.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about CPK unpackers to be of any help for this specific problem, but in the event that it doesn't work out, would GLintercept be an option for you or is that too much work? It seems quick enough, but I'm not sure how many units are in the game, or how much variety they have in their attacks. At least the frame count seems relatively small.
Here's a few example frames I pieced together in a few minutes using the data that GLintercept spit out.

I... wouldn't mind using it, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work? I've never heard of this program before.
This thread could be useful:
http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-28571-...#pid607792
I ripped Astonishia Story from PSP using GLIntercept, but it works the same for DS. Put the contents of GLintercept into the directory of the emulator, change some text in the GLconfig.ini (not having useless icons, determine hotkey, set GLintercept to get what's on the screen -> still objects // or let it run until you press a key to stop it -> animations). You can see the text changes in the thread linked above.
Ah, and in the video configurations of your emulator -> set it to OpenGL. That should be all. Don't expect miracles, though, as I wasn't able to get Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled (DS) to work with it. It could be the game itself which doesn't like the tool, but I haven't tested it on any other DS game so I'm not sure.
Welp, that caused my emulator to crash. Not sure why, but I'm suspecting it's one of those "my laptop is old and sucks" things.
Either way, that's a pretty slow way to do it; the game is very long, and there are a lot of characters, some of which are easily missable. It'll be much more efficient to figure out why these CPKs aren't extracting while others did.

Yeah, it's fairly slow, which is why I brought up the number of units and things in the first place. CPK's would definitely be a more quick method, but this is ultimately better than nothing. You mentioned the game is long though, so it's probably not worth the time to play through it and rip it with GLintercept.

It only works on games which put their graphics on the 3D layer. That would be my guess as to why it didn't work on Sigil. My rule of thumb is if it can't be found in the Tile Viewer, it can be obtained with GLintercept
(and vice versa). Thanks for posting that thread though! Much appreciated!
Yeah, there are:
53 playable combat units.
5 playable non-combat units.
4 non-playable, non-combat units.
38 enemy combat units.
1 enemy non-combat unit.
With the exception of the non-combatant enemy unit, each unit has a regular attack and a special attack, and the special attack only happens if you happen to get a critical, or if you're attacking a unit that you're "effective" against. Each character also has blocking, damage, and death frames, which would mean deliberately putting non-combat units in danger (and either getting multiple game overs or save/reload abuse). In addition to this, 13 of the playable characters also have some other form they can turn into, which also has regular attack, special attack, blocking, damage, and death frames. Also, two of the playable characters are only unlocked completing mini missions between chapters in the story mode, which are stupidly hard and annoying. Speaking of those mini missions, the only way to unlock the main character's Bankai for the story mode is by completing those missions, otherwise you'd have to complete the game to get it. Oh, and there are two main heroes, which would mean playing through the game twice.
Yeah. Tiny anime game has a lot of stuff to it.
