Hi!

How can I Repack my files to a FSB-File?

I know fsbext -r .......

But where can I get the file for rebuilding information?

the file is created with the -s option:

Code:

fsbext -l -s output.dat originalfile.fsb

and then

Code:

fsbext -s output.dat -d c:\input_folder newfile.fsb

remember that for rebuilding the archive you must have not used the -a option during the extraction because it adds some headers for the reading of the files by the user while the fsb archive wants the raw headerless files as in the original one

If I want to add new Sounds - how can I remove the header?

that's depend by the file.
for example the mp3 are stored "as is" so there is absolutely no problem for them.

for the wav files is stored only the pcm data so it's simple to remove the header that can be done with a tool (for example my WAVEhead in the TestingToolz section although it's not much immediate to use) or by hand removing anything till the "data" field plus 4 (because the 4 bytes after "data" are the size of the field).

the other types of files are console oriented and so it's another matter

I need help... I unpacked fsb file from Shift and I can't play unpacked wav files... There is a way to decode these wav files?

have you used the -a option of fsbext during the unpacking?
fsbext -d c:\output_folder -a file.fsb

-a adds the needed header so that the file can be played normally (except xma because doesn't exist a decoder/player for them)
