Black Desert Online File Extractor v1.1

Some files extracted by this tool are corrupted. It seems that those files were wrongly detected as uncompressed in the following part of bms script:

callfunction SET_ENCRYPTION 1
if SIZE > ZSIZE
    clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE 1
else    # yeah SIZE is < ZSIZE
    log NAME OFFSET SIZE 1
endif
encryption "" ""

I didn't really find working solution, but as I needed just quick fix for .xlsm files, I have modified condition as follows:

if SIZE > ZSIZE || FILE_NAME & ".xlsm"

Maybe it will be possible to do something like this also for 3D files and textures.

ok basic stuff...How do I edit the model? I can use PAZ Files Browser to view the objects that I want. Found a couple of them. Used the File extractor to get the corresponding pac file. Now how do I extract the pac file? I have done a bit of searching and it looks like the thread about Noesis plugin for extracting BlackDesertOnline pac files have been removed...What tools are you all using for extracting the mesh from the pac files?

 

[buzarini]

my goal is let meta injector can load *ALL* file, not only 3d model and texture, especially the sound mod like japanese voice pack. And I merge external tool that original meta injector used into my program, to improve performance, all localization version compatible, and code in my way.

Actually, do the same thing as meta injector do, but I think it's a minor improvement.

TL;DR:
1. real parse the index
2. no dependency need
3. all version compatible *technically*
4. fewer line of code

the source code will be posted?
bdp.exe can not find the files in the folders, if the Indexing Service is turned off. It is possible to fix?

because the mod, I want to make, is became a built-in feature in the game, I decide to release my injector source code.

this program used:
1. uthash - hash table for quick search and modify
2. libconfuse - to read configure file

It does not work for Korea with the latest update.
And it does not work "Hashes Generator for Meta Injector".

What exactly happens? I'm re-downloading the Korean client again to test this stuff, but it would be very helpful if you can tell me what happens when you try to run this.

just saying, there's about 8000 files that can't be replaced. these 8000 files index are encrypted with unknown cipher. unfortunately, if your file is in these 8000 files, there's no way to mod. (and it would show [FAILED] with my injector.)

I just realized something. All of those "missing files" have something in common:
All of their hashes uses only 7 hexadecimal letters to represent it, instead of 8. Let me explain:
Let's compare the hashes from "multiplemodeldesc.xml" to the "pew_00_ub_0031_dec_n.dds" (One of the missing files)

multiplemodeldesc.xml hash:
DECIMAL: 631490897
HEX (Big Endian): 25 A3 C9 51
HEX (Little Endian): 51 C9 A3 25

Remembering (from the first page):

When you convert it to hex, you get this:

But when you look at the meta file, you are not going to find 25 A3 C9 51, instead you need to find 51 C9 A3 25

So everytime you convert to hex, remember to change the order in blocks of 2 bytes.

Warning, don't do this mistake:
25 A3 C9 51 -> 15 9C 3A 52
it's:
25 A3 C9 51 - > 51 C9 A3 25

pew_00_ub_0031_dec_n.dds hash:
DECIMAL: 25743895
HEX (Big Endian): 188D217 (or 01 88 D2 17)
HEX (Little Endian): 17 D2 88 01

The complete list of all missing files and their hashes and file/folder numbers can be found here:
missing_files.txt

As you can see, when it's one of those files, it when you convert the number from dec to hex, you always get only 7 letters, because the 8th one is always 0

So what I'm thinking is that, when they made the .meta file, they simply decided not to store this extra "0" to save some space, and since we are always reading 4bytes, it actually reads the seven letters + 1 more of the next field, giving us just nonsense.

Miau Lightouch, you are smarter than me, help me figure that out.

Please? xD

PAZ Browser v1.2​

Tough job to make this one, I basically re-wrote the whole code of the part that reads the pad00000.meta file searching for the file hashes and names.
After the latest KR version, we are able to read all those 8000 files that we couldn't before, this means that you will have a lot more files to browse in this version.
The tool once again don't use the "reference_file.txt" anymore because it does the pad00000.meta file decryption by itself.
I'll be exportimg this code changes to all my other tools to use the same method.I'll be releasing the updates soon.
I hope you guys enjoy

changelog:
- Works with the KR version without crashing this time.
- Dark Knight is now added to the list of the files you can browse.
- If you are using the KR version, the tool can now detect 100% of the files of the game (You still will only be able to browse the categories I created though)
- 3 new options to browse available for each class:

• Weapons
• Body Meshes
• Head Meshes

Download: Black Desert Online - Paz Files Browser
Source code here: src-paz_browser_v1.2.zip
If you have any other suggestions of categories you want me to add, please let me know.

"quickbms.exe" not recongized as an internal or external command

• If you are using the KR version, you are now able to patch 100% of the files of the game.

• Memory consumption greatly improved.
  
  
• A "Skipped" message now appears if you try to patch "multiplemodeldesc.xml" and "partcombinationdesc.xml" since they cause the game to crash.
