Cyrem Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 As I received my copy of the game today, I'm having a look into it and will post information in this topic as I look at the game. Archive Types: VOL, ALV. Extraction Software: Game Extractor (VOL, ALV) Inside "General.VOL": There are a number of files in here, however most refer to keyboard types and key locations. There is a config file: NAME BIONICLE // Name of game WAD 9-98 // First WAD to read LANGUAGE ENGLISH // Territory or language PAL OFF // PAL or NTSC DEBUG_CHEATS ON // Are debug cheats on/off DEBUG_TEXT ON // Display debug text/gfx DEBUG_FLY ON // Fly-through mode on/off LEVEL_SELECT ON // Level select on/off DEMO_LEVEL_SELECT OFF // Only show * levels in level select SOUND OFF // Sound on/off I have turned all the 'DEBUG' related things on as above. It shows memory/freespace on the game with DEBUG_TEXT on. I am yet to find these 'DEBUG_CHEATS'. 'DEBUG_FLY' was already on... Other VOL/AVL files: There are a heap more data files however when extracted there is a bunch of more data files (PCM,PCS,PCSI,PCA) which I have not found an extractor for yet. Will post more info later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJobless Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Well, "Not Really". It had a few scratches, but I do believe the last time I saw it and used it, I was able to play. I'll get back to you on that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrMasterModelBuilder Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Gar! I've had soo much school lately, ya beat me to the punch. Which, if any, of these things are on by default? Also, any ides how to use debug mode? A side question. The extractor can edit, correct? Not just extract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartvbl Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I bet that the PCM file is similar to the one you got in lego racers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yay. I could never get past Gali's mission. And the graphics were HORRIBLE!!!! You dislikes LRR PS1 Graphics, you'll HATE these ones. Anyways, school ends in a few weeks, so I'll go looking for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try MultiEx Commander, I think it does those formats too. On 4/28/2010 at 2:53 PM, bartvbl said: I bet that the PCM file is similar to the one you got in lego racers! No, It's not. The file Header is 'BIGB' <level name> "-disablereport -platform" in the start of the file. PCM files have ADPCM in the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, instead it's got a different unknown format inside the data files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexadecimal Mantis Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Doing some thread necromancy here. I have been researching the file formats used in this game for a while now, and I have made some significant progress in terms of mods. Specifically for the PS2 port. The first in-depth modification I did restored the unique unused HUD energy bars for each of the Toa: And more recently after learning the model format, I managed to successfully swap Lewa Mata's model from the extras menu over Lewa Nuva!: Cyrem, aidenpons, ShadowDraikana and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Niiiice! How did you manage to do that? And will what you've done there be possible in the PC version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I already have texture control on the PC port, so the first mod should be able to be replicated fairly easily, albeit differently. As for swapping models on the PC port, I would need to look into it, since the format is completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
