smooth like butter
Hello I wanted to show you guys what I've been working on recently. I'm not 100% on the name but that is pretty much what my project does. I'm creating an application that opens any fastfile for PS3, XBOX, PC, and Wii. This isn't an ordinary .ff viewer. This application completely decompiles a fastfile and allows you to edit almost any data within.
At the moment it can read through these assets: menufiles, menus, localize, materials, images, sounds, rawfiles, stringtables, structureddatadefs, leaderboarddefs, xmodels, xanims, tracers, fonts, vehicles, snddriversglobals, sndcurves, physpresets, fx, impactfx, and weapons for COD4, MW2, W@W, and Black Ops.
If I ever do end up finishing this, I plan on making it decompile assets and compile all(or most)assets into fastfiles. The gui isn't so great so I plan on improving that also. I think I may have to rewrite it in C++ but I'm not sure about that yet. Really my goal is to learn more programming languages(especially C++). If this is ever finished I plan on making it open source.
Here are a few images of the application and some of the things it can do:

This will not do too much for software? (HxD, Dvars Generator etc ...)
Question: An XP version will be available or the software will work directly on all Windows?

Well it can now read through PS3, XBOX, and PC ff's for cod4 and MW2. Almost done with Black Ops and MW3. I need ideas on what you'd like to be able to edit though(I need PC users). All the data is ready to be modified, I just need ideas. :blank:

Depends exactly what kind of final result you are going for. I am not aware of many games other than COD that use an FF format. How about adding some kind of support for IMG/RPF and /or SCO editting.
I guess it depends on your ambition really. If you want to be a complete madman and make it into a Global Game File Viewer rather than just FF Viewer, then go for it! Lol

Why do you need PC users? Editing ff's for MW3, doesn't the game use some kind of checksum so you can't run modified ff's (atleast on pc)?

My goal is to bring modtools to consoles, so what I meant by "I need PC users
", was that since they have modtools they should have a better feeling with assets and would have more ideas that could help me out. Besides that modtools for PC doesnt provide support for all assets(or it doesnt reveal as much), nor does it allow you to decompile fastfiles. Yes MW3 does use signatures for multiplayer only. Same goes for MW2, but I wanted my ffviewer to be able to handle all fastfiles so it wouldn't be complete without PC support. The only fastfiles it won't be able to extract are Black Ops for PS3(I need the keys, and it doesn't help that I don't have a modded PS3) and MW3 for xbox(as far as I know only Caboose knows the compression used for it). But it will support reading of their .zone's.

Eh.. I don't think I'm going to go that far with it. I'll just stick to the game I know best. If I ever do something with GTA it'll be a new project.

I bet buc-shotz could help you implement a hex editor in your program

Fair enough, can't argue with that
