le717 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My turn to uncover a format from the dark game known as LEGO Racers so the world may figure out what it is! FDB Files seem to be the game fonts. They are present 22 times, and they have two different file names: GFONTS.FDB and LEGOFNTS.FDB. GFONTS.FDB is the font used for the menus. It is located in MENUDATA/game language e.g. ENGLISH, SPAINISH, etc.). MENUDATA/ENGLISH contains 8 files, namely, CARBUILD.SRF, CIRCUIT.SRF, FONT_EMB.BMP, FONT_HLP.BMP, FONT_THS.BMP, FONTMENU.BMP, MENUTEXT.SRF, and of course, GFONTS.FDB. All other language folders have 10 files, adding DRIVERS.SRF and QBUILD.LRS. LEGOFNTS.FDB is found in GAMEDATA/COMMON/game language e.g. ENGLISH, SPAINISH, etc.). GAMEDATA/COMMON/ENGLISH contains 5 files, DRIVERS.SRF, FONT_THS.BMP, GAME.SRF, IGNUM.BMP, and LEGOFNTS.FDB. All other language folders sunstain the same number of files. I've opened GFONTS.FDB and LEGOFNTS.FDB in Hex, and this is what I got: LEGOFNTS.FDB GFONTS.FDB Let the research begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepper314 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Im guessing that FDB stands for "Font Database"? noodles :af: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead_name Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh, I hope you don't mind my sharing this origamiguy, but I found your blog pages documenting some formats. The URL is http://will.loadingchunks.net/rru/lr1/, and GDB, BPM, and PWB are all visible (just add /format to the URL). Interestingly, there is a MIB page too, but I get a 403 Forbidden error code. This is all outdated. Ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
