dragon01 902 Posted August 1, 2011 How can I extract BAF and PMC PBOs? All PBO extractors I tried (Eliteness, CPBO, UnPBO) either crashed, or in case of UnPBO, showed gibberish. Of them, only UnPBO was able to extract OA files. I've downloaded all them for Armaholic. Does anybody knows a tool which could extract these files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul_assassin 1723 Posted August 1, 2011 They are encrypted for a reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3240 Posted August 1, 2011 Extract the DLC lite pbos in .\arma2\common. They contain most of the data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted August 1, 2011 Same results with everything but UnPBO, which now makes a huge file named "ArmA 2 OA". What I want is music from both addons, I'd like to listen to it outside of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 567 Posted August 1, 2011 Buy ArmA X which includes all the songs from all the games in MP3 and FLAC formats. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted August 2, 2011 Considering I have entire ArmAII series (not from BIS store), can get ArmA dirt cheap at a book store and original OFP either at Allegro (polish version of EBay), or a classics stand in the same book store, also dirt cheap, ArmA X seems a bit expensive for me. Besides, I have already bought AII: RFT, so I should be able to listen to these songs outside of the game, without paying any additional costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul_assassin 1723 Posted August 2, 2011 I should be able to listen to these songs outside of the game, without paying any additional costs. no. you payed for the game in its final state as a product. Does not mean you are entitled to its components. I know that lots of stuff is openable but the license does not guarantee it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted August 2, 2011 so I should be able to listen to these songs outside of the game, without paying any additional costs. Oof. 5 chars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3240 Posted August 2, 2011 the law comes before a license. most countries laws permit you to extract products you buy as long as do not circumvent the copy protection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 567 Posted August 2, 2011 Be more resourceful instead of complaining about it and expecting things to be given to you. Play the songs in game via a trigger and record them with your favorite sound recorder and listen to them at your leisure. There's plenty of ways of getting what you want without getting self righteous about it. You're not really missing much anyway. BAF's soundtrack is 6 minutes long and PMC's is 12 minutes long, almost every song is only 1 minute long or less. It's all on YouTube as well and has been for months.

.kju 3240 Posted August 2, 2011 yep they do. this is why there is no tool out there to break it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted August 10, 2011 But why did they encrypted them anyway? From what I've seen, BI is ussualy friendly to modders. I don't think encrypting these files helps modding in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3240 Posted August 10, 2011 guy A could send the DLC to a friend B easily. So easy piracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
