[WiP] EASF File Reader

[beta990]

I smell a scam. It sounds like he only released files that had previously been available. On his blog, he claimed financial reasons for stopping then tried to elicit donations from some poor sap.

True, always be careful.

Hope jenkey1002 will return one day, his software (FIFA File Explorer) is one of the best tools around. Without him other modding FIFA 13> would have been very difficult. Same to say for Rinaldo and all others I'm forgetting, sorry.

Hi.

It is finally done. While not completely (the tool itself is not ready), you can now modify the Career, Graphics, Scripts and all that. Also, included as seperate download is the newest FIFA 15 1.8 Database. Modding it is compatible with the latest version.

More info, go to: http://www.soccergaming.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3743380&postcount=1

If you have any questions or requests, please ask.

Enjoy.

Better late than never, thank you! Perhaps your tool will be able to read Fifa 16 files as well once it's released, that would be cool.
And I see playergrowth.ini has 2 additional lines that were unknown until now. Interesting...

I guess FIFA 16 will follow similar example of FIFA 15 or they might encrypt everything lol.

Anyway, the tool will probably not work but if they use the same system, only the code needs to be adjusted to make it work.

You see, interesting thing I discovered that EASF is not just an encryption. EA uses files with EASF and can manipulate them in real time (from the server). Those are rare occasions but one example is Global Transfer Network.

I was out of touch from FIFA 15 for a long time but I compared some files with FIFA 14 ones and there are quite a lot of new things. Also there seems to be a complete Tournament Manager ScriptEngine. Some features are commented out but you could do a lot with those if you know what you are doing

Also, let me know if you encounter any problems when using the files or the database. If any file is corrupt (by that I mean it is missing values or so) I will need to check that.

Can you decrypt the files in data_ini.big? E.g. rna.ini, platform.ini, product.ini etc.

 

[malloc84]

Yeah, I have them already. Gonna get released with reader.

 

[BlackEmperor]

In transfer.ini, the lines

MIN_FREE_AGENTS_WAGE_VARIATION_PROBABILITY
FREE_AGENTS_VARIATION_PERCENTAGE
TEAM_PLAYER_OVERALL_MAX_DIFF

don't have any values. Is that intended?

 

[malloc84]

Seems tool made a mistake during extraction since it reads the values fine. Need to correct this.

Values are:

MIN_FREE_AGENTS_WAGE_VARIATION_PROBABILITY = 10
FREE_AGENTS_VARIATION_PERCENTAGE = 10
TEAM_PLAYER_OVERALL_MAX_DIFF = 8

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for all the info and the files.
Really helps with modding the career mode, and bugfixing my mods.

If you need any info, help.. let me know.

PS. It would indeed be great if you could decrypt more *.ini files, like product.ini, platform.ini, etc.

Sure thing Glad it helped I was also quite relieved when I finally bogged down last few details...

All the files can be decrypted already but I am completing my app to also use with FIFA 16 when it is released. It is similar to jenkeys File Explorer but only reads EASF files, decrypts and exports them.

As you can see above, there are some bugs in the Value parsing when extracting so I need to check that. That is probably because I stripped down all the debug things I used when creating the app. Now need to clean it and make it 'presentable'.

I released this .rar file with usable Graphic files, Career files and newest Database just to make Career Mode modding possible and so you don't have to wait until app is complete.
Final product will be much better with much more content.

Regards.

NOTE: Update.1 available. Some fixes to the files and made it AIO. Download from first post.

Created a simple browsing tool.

files from data_ini.big are available.

See download on the first page.
