Sonic All Star Racing Transformed and Team Sonic Racing ripping possibilities? - rveyrand - 01-12-2020
I discovered some informations using an hex editor on both games data files (you may know those as .cpu.sp* and .gpu.sp* [ *=c for all star; *=2 for TSR]
both games have a nearly identical structure, so if we can rip one game, the other becomes rippable easily.
the .cpu file appears to be an archive file, with the .gpu being the container (a bms script could possibly unpack those then)
the most interesting parts now:
-models are actually in .mb (maya binary) format [includes then meshes, skeletons and animations and can be directly opened in Maya 3d]
-textures are DDS files
the only problem we have left is...how to unpack the data files properly?

ohhh that makes sense now

I tried it on TSR once and it has one main default being the model rigging being screwed up (some meshes aren't weighted at all).

little up with some more info (perhaps a possibility to get the models ripped properly, maybe?)
I was using this tool: https://github.com/KillzXGaming/Switch-Toolbox/releases
originally to make my own mario kart 8 mod and found out it can open SaSRT and TSR's cpu.sp* and gpu.sp* and we can find raw files in it:
.texture files which are just DDS textures with a different extension
.model files
.skeleton files
.material files
.anim files
here is a sample extracted from the game: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fZR4USH9L4T4HtDbNw8LjqGHtQZ0I2Cd
I wonder if that could help, knowing this
