FSBext - FSB files extractor

[imbamoves]

http://aluigi.org/papers.htm#fsbext

Tool for extracting the files from FSB archives, used in the FMOD framework.

It supports:
FSB1, FSB2, FSB3, FSB3.1, FSB4 and FSB5

And it has been tested against a huge number of games and different FSB archives.

I have just released a new version, 0.3.3, that fixes the calculation of channels and frequency for FSB5.
Thanks to brendan19 for pointing me on this error.

@imbamoves
Do not open other topics or going OT in others.

Fsbext has a runtime help with some info about reimporting, it should work but it's not a primary feature:

Code: Select all

Rebuilding options:
-s FILE  binary file containing the information for rebuilding the FSB file,
         specify it during the extraction (will be created) and rebuilding
-r       rebuild the original file:
         Example:   fsbext -d myfolder -s files.dat    input.fsb
                    fsbext -d myfolder -s files.dat -r output.fsb
         the tool will remove any header in the imported files automatically

Can support for FSHB be added? I can't seem to find anything that opens it

I already gave you the answer on viewtopic.php?p=42997#p42997 so why are you posting here?

[Hell_Inspector]

Here you are off-topic, so continue post in the other topic.

Is it off-topic to kindly request for an updated version of the tool? I tried this on both FFX FSB and Darkest Dungeon FSB, but the files are absolutely unusable.

I bet you got an FSB containg vorbis data, you must use viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1901 for extracting them.

Darkest Dungeon is indeed with OGG (for some files). But FFX not. It's XBOX audio. But it works, at any rate, once they're split at least. Thank you.

[Dark_Ansem]

Is there a BAT command I can use to speed extraction of multiple files?

[aluigi]

Conversion?
fsbext is an extractor, doesn't perform any conversion.
If you want to decode, and maybe later recode, the extracted files it's probably better if you post in the Audio section specifiying the exact codec used in the input files.

I meant extraction, sorry.

I don't have linux, I'll have to guess, thanks!

The cygwin/find solution works on Windows too.

I have a problem where many of the files within the .fsb have the same name but each contain different audio, is there any way to extract them as is without overwriting each other? Like if there's 7 audio files named audio, they just replace each other whenever I do an extraction. Is there a parameter for FSBext that can make them extract as audio_1, audio_2 etc?

[aluigi]

Unfortunately there is no such option and no multiple files are selectable from the GUI (like instead it happens with quickbms)

I guess the only way is building a good .bat file able to handle the names of the files and create folders in the output folder where telling fsbext to put the extracted files.

[Shokoniraya]

can you add an option to fsbext.exe and xwbext.exe to dump a list of extacted files like quickbms?

[aluigi]

I guess it's more easy to just use the standard output redirector in command-line:
fsbext.exe OPTIONS ARGUMENTS > list.txt

what about xwbext.exe?
