ROM Hack Mario Tennis Aces CBTEX file format?

[SWRosetta]

Hi!

With the demo files roaming around i wanted to get some textures from the game, but similar to Mario Tennis Ultra Smash this uses a format called .ntex and then inside there's .cbtex files that are used for textures.

the header for both files seem to be SARC and BNTX respectively but i cannot get pass and extract the contents, i can only extract the .cbtex inside the .ntex using Karameru ...

Is there a way to open these files? thanks.

you will need quickbms and randomtalkingbush's mario tennis ultra smash decompression script.

run quickbms and use the script, and the file should come out as a .cbtex.dec. it's actually a bntx, so use a bntx extractor.

it doesnt work. it gives me the ''unknown compression'' error

 

[ecumber]

which doesn't work, your bntx extractor or the script?

 

[SWRosetta]

the script is the thing that doesnt work. It works fine with model files from both US and Aces but the textures and other files do not get the same result, they aren't decompressed.

i just realized that you wanted to decompress a cbtex, and not a cbntx. i don't know how to extract cbtex's yet.

Bumping since I reverse-engineered it and wrote a decompressor:
