Breath of fire IV Model and Texture Extraction help wanted [file and script included] - squall789 - 05-05-2018

Hi Guys.

Using the following script from Xentax that was made a few years back I was able to extract no-name files (no file extensions either) from an emi file.

Here is a link to the emi file and to the files extracted from it.

Here is the mex/quickbms script.

Code:
# MexScript for EMI files from Breath Of Fire 4

# By Mr.Mouse

# ----------------------------

# First get the Number of files (FN)

ImpType SFileSize ;

Get FN Long 0 ;

Get U1 Long 0 ;

GetDString ID 8 0 ;

# The ID string is "MATH_LAB"

# Very well, now prepare some padding calculations

# Each data stream (data section) is padded up to 

# 0x800 blocks. 

Set B Long 2048 ;

Set A Long FN ;

Math A *= 16 ;

Math A += 16 ;

Set C Long A ;

Math C /= B ;

Math C *= 2048 ;

Math C += 2048 ;

Set Off Long C ;

# Good, now we have calculated the Offset of the 

# first file. Let's start reading the file info for each file 

# in the archive!

For T = 1 To FN ;

SavePos FSO 0 ;

Get FS Long 0 ;

Get U2 Long 0 ;

Get ID2 Long 0 ;

Get U3 Int 0 ;

Get END Int 0 ;

Log "" Off FS 0 FSO ;

# Need to perform padding calculations to get to the 

# offset of the next file (if any)

Math FS /= 2048 ;

Math FS *= 2048 ;

Math FS += 2048 ;

Math Off += FS ;

Next T ;

# There! That did the trick!

Its an old script and I'm not good at this sort of thing, so there might be a way to get file extensions and filenames that I don't know of.

I tried PSXPrev on the files, and it says its found 3 models but nothing shows up, and it says there are a few textures, but they're just kind of junk and swizzled, so things might still be a bit compressed.

I'd really appreciate if someone could help take this apart, I really want to extract the 3D models and textures for the environments and then retexture them with more modern textures for fun.

Thankyou to anyone who can help.
