SRTTR Extracting Tool (menthe sr-tools desktop version)

Is that how IdolNinja made his hydraulics mod?
Sorry if the question seems to come too out of nowhere but I'm having a lot of headaches with adding new grill options on the Churchill and making a thread for that was useless.

Why are you asking here lol? I don't know how Idolninja made his mod

I'm asking here because making my own thread was useless and I have done nothing but bang my head against the wall of working with cvtf_pc files since.
I'm desperate, and out of options. Hell I'm pretty sure cvtf_pc files is something people have been struggling with since day 1.

if you change the .bat file to be

sr-tools.exe vpp unpack "%~1"

you will be able to drag and drop files onto the .bat to extract, instead of renaming everytime you want to extract a new file.

I succeeded in extracting the SR3 Remastered audio file "radio_newscasts_media.bnk_pc" from "sounds_common.vpp_pc". Further unpacking the bnk_pc file with the following command gives me strange output though:

bnk_pc_extractor.exe radio_newscasts_media.bnk_pc

This gives radio_newscasts_media.txt, and many *.dmav (many megabytes each) + * .bin (file size = 0) files. I expected *.wav files for further consumption with ww2ogg.exe.

Did the content/format of the bank files change with the SR3 Remastered version ?

I'm in the same situation, have you found a solution since? Should I use bin or dmav? How can I extract or convert them to the correct format, i.e. .wav?

So for some neat little efficiency bonus for this tool especially when unpacking a TON of files at once i made some edits to the batch script.

REM Define the tool path
set "TOOL_PATH=C:\Filepath\To your\srtools\sr-tools.exe"

REM Loop through each file dropped onto the batch file
For %%f in (%*) do (
"%TOOL_PATH%" vpp unpack %%f
)

Doing this will make it so you can drag files onto the .dat file from anywhere and it will unpack them in that folder where the files you are unpacking is originating from.

You do however need to change the filepath to your own SR-Tools.exe location for this to work since you are essentially executing in another folder and it cant know where it is.
From my own testing the maximum limit seems to be 60 files at a time for some reason despite that batch files should support up to 256 afaik.

And if you are like me who is wanting to mess about with clothing models for example which all have the str2_vpp files named CUSTMESH it will be a nightmare, So i added another batch script to help with that process.

for /d %%a in (*) do (
for %%b in ("%%a\*.ccmesh_pc") do (
ren "%%a" "%%~nb"
)
)

This batch script you should place in the folder that has all the subfolders named custmesh. It will then look inside each folder, Find the first file with the file extension .ccmesh_pc and then rename the folder to the same name as that file.
Meaning the folders gets named properly instead of the custmesh nonsense!
