.CMPRES Format Help

[Kurabupengin]

I'm ripping the files for a Wii game and I finnally extracted the files I want... but they are .cmpres format!!! Now what do I do!?

You should be able to decompress the files by using NTCompress.exe, with

Code:

NTCompress.exe *FILENAME*.cmpres -x

in the command prompt.

How do I exactly open ntcompress.exe? When I try to open the app it instantly closes... When I open the .cmpres file it creates a .bin file... I don't really know what you mean.

it's a commandline program
the bin file should be the decompressed file

If you aren't sure how to use commandline, you can find lots of good tutorials on the internet by searching on Google.

Do you can rip models from .bin files?

.bin is what it automatically exports to. You should be able to just rename the extension to "brres" and open it up in either BrawlBox or BRRESViewer.

It worked perfectly!!! Thanks RTB! I wonder If I can make penguin and puffle ragdolls for Gmod now...

Sorry for the double post, but there are other files I want to rip, but they are .cmparc now... do I do the same as I did with the .cmpres files?

[TGE]

yes, but they might not be BRRES files but instead be U8 archives.
If renaming the .bin files to .BRRES doesn't work try renaming them to .ARC

[Kurabupengin]

It worked renaming them to .arc, thank you!
