UAX format?

[Garamonde]

So, what code would I put in if I wanted to use, say, U8 Tool to extract .ARC archives? There's one file I have encountered that won't open in BRRES Viewer, and BrawlBox won't open it so... if anybody could help me that'd be great. I'd also like to know what code I would use for LZH8 Decompressor, as it seems to work on these .CX files I have (though dragging and dropping does not >_>), which I can then open in BRRES Viewer.

And... I'm curious as to how this works exactly. Do I paste the code at the very top of the text document, hit enter a couple times, then start pasting in file names (and if so, one on each line?)? I understand everything else but that. Thx.

What do You mean? U8 doesn't need a code. You can run the u8extr.exe.

Send me a link so I can check it out if You can't get it to work.

Maybe RTB can help with that.

If Your talking about the codes that RTB posted. They read the file names and do the work for You.

The only files that came with U8 Tool are these (minus the BRRES's folder as I put that in there for testing purposes). There I see a "gbalzss" file (which is what I was testing that folder on), and when I open it it's a command line program, and does nothing. On the other hand, I see "U8Tool". This one'll get ya, I clicked on it and it showed me this so it looks like I'm stuck, huh?

I could send you the file, but I don't know how many of them may be like that because it looks like this is a game that has most of the models in one folder with little indication as to what's what.

Maybe RTB can help with that.

I would ask him but I don't like to bother people with silly PMs, and I don't want to bother him when he has a million other things to do... and especially if the recipient doesn't answer, it makes me feel worse and even more like I bothered them/wasted their time. This is why I'm reluctant to PM some people. I've always been this way.

I don't think I can properly explain what I meant here, but I can try. If it still doesn't make sense then you can forget that I asked about that part altogether. You see this code that RTB posted that you used for FPK Tool?

Code:

for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.fpk') do fpktool.exe -u %%a %%a_unpack

I understand you make a notepad and paste this code in first before anything. Then I see you posted this:

Well I've been using it to extract files from .fpk. It's a life saver, because I can just put in multiple names and it will extract everything.
For example:

Code:

fpktool -u 0000.fpk 0000
fpktool -u 0001.fpk 0001
fpktool -u 0002.fpk 0002
fpktool -u 0003.fpk 0003
fpktool -u 0004.fpk 0004
fpktool -u 0005.fpk 0005

Those are example file names or something for FPK files you wanted to extract right? Basically what I was getting at is, I see that you used one line break for each filename (for example, having "fpk 0000" on one line, and having "fpk 0001" on the next line, and etc.), and I was asking, do I need to use one line break for each filename too? I realize this is probably a dumb thing to ask about and common sense should already answer this for me, but I wanted to be sure. I really hope I've made everything clear.

Try this U8Tool.

As for the FPK code that I posted, the line break is not necessary. But You can just forget that part all together because the fpk code RTB posted is much better. Because it eliminates the need to use names such as 0000.fpk and all that.

So lets say You have 100 fpk files in one folder. If You use the code I posted, You would have to put every name into notepad, which would take a long time. But with RTB's code, You only need that one line and it will extract all 100 fpk files. So just put that code into notepad and save as a .bat files. Then whenever You need it, copy it into the same folder as the .fpk's and double click to on the bat so it can do it's magic.

I hope that helps and feel free to ask me if there's anything else You need.

Thank you, that U8 Tool worked!

I'm also glad that you understood what I meant since I hate confusing people with my confusingness. Guess I'll just wait a bit and see if RTB sees this. Until then, off to work on Animal Crossing models!
