AveryTheKitty 2626 Posted May 29, 2014 How do you extract the EBO files in the Karts DLC? I saw the new uniforms the Kart drivers had and I want to see what the textures look like. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted May 30, 2014 as far as i know you cannot - its the encrypted pbo format from VBS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenguinInATuxedo 18 Posted May 30, 2014 I was just looking for the Pbo's now and found these .ebo files, Sad I wanted to look at the BIS made challenge missions for Karts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlord554 2065 Posted May 30, 2014 Surely, in time, we will get updated tool set for use with this new content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lebobo 10 Posted June 2, 2014 I would also like to know which PBO files the default karts missions are stored in. I'm dying to peak inside and look at the time trial scripting for use in my own missions. has anybody found those missions in the PBO files yet? i've extracted every one that looked promising to me with no luck so far.

.kju 3244 Posted June 2, 2014 unfortunately BI stashed away all DLC related content in the ebo files as far as i can tell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lebobo 10 Posted June 2, 2014 ;2702650']unfortunately BI stashed away all DLC related content in the ebo files as far as i can tell So i take it there's no tools to peak inside ebo files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted June 2, 2014 So i take it there's no tools to peak inside ebo files? Nope, at least not publicly available. The whole point of using ebo files instead of regular pbo is to "protect" the content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redphoenix 1540 Posted June 2, 2014 Nope, at least not publicly available. The whole point of using ebo files instead of regular pbo is to "protect" the content. And that's a problem for my mod, since I depend on beeing able to read the configs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperwolf572 758 Posted June 2, 2014 And that's a problem for my mod, since I depend on beeing able to read the configs. Is the EBO content not available in the config viewer ingame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted June 2, 2014 Well configs you can get from the memory dump. Search for how "All in one" config is made. They should at least make the scripting (except .sqm), or even the whole mission available to allow ppl to make further variants. Campaigns/scenarios/story mission are a different matter of course.

Redphoenix 1540 Posted June 2, 2014 Is the EBO content not available in the config viewer ingame? They are, but they are unsorted and full of other stuff..... Would be a pain to extract what I need.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted June 2, 2014 Just check the community modding bible for the AIO config. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alduric 10 Posted June 2, 2014 Great, give us tools to make our mods in ebo format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted June 2, 2014 Once you do that it could be reverse engineered and none of VBS would be safe from prying eyes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iconoclastdx 5 Posted June 3, 2014 Any chance we can just get the mission files? I'd like to make my own Kart missions. Does that compromise data security? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lebobo 10 Posted June 3, 2014 Any chance we can just get the mission files? I'd like to make my own Kart missions. Does that compromise data security? Yes exactly! I feel for you guys trying to make mods and addons, however that's all over my head at this point. I'm just interested in the scripts for starting the races and the time clocks. I'm not quite up to part with writing scripts yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenguinInATuxedo 18 Posted June 3, 2014 Any chance we can just get the mission files? I'd like to make my own Kart missions. Does that compromise data security? The thing is that free Kart drivers only get access to one of the challenge so releasing the mission would negate that restriction the free cart driver could just use the shared version from editor.

iconoclastdx 5 Posted June 3, 2014 ...or they could just release the free one. Doesn't seem like rocket surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3949 Posted June 3, 2014 ...or they could just release the free one. Doesn't seem like rocket surgery. BIS may decide to do that, but you will have to wait and see. The DLC was only just released :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigpickle 0 Posted June 3, 2014 so bis are now encrypting their dlc's so that we cant patch or modify? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3949 Posted June 3, 2014 so bis are now encrypting their dlc's so that we cant patch or modify? Well if its a paid DLC you can understand why they have chosen to go down that route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted June 3, 2014 so bis are now encrypting their dlc's so that we cant patch or modify? It was already the case in A2 IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
