F1 2015 .erp Editor / Decrypter / Encrypter

[Sethioz]

F1 2015 just came out few days ago and seems like they have changed their encryption since previous versions. it was possible to use the CTF EGO editor, but now they no longer use .ctf files. I guess it has something to do with the trainers I made.

Luigi Auriemma wrote a QuickBMS script to decrypt the .erp files so you can read them.

You can grab the script here:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/bms ... 15_erp.bms

and you can grab the required QuickBMS here:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

Usage:
double click on QuickBMS.exe
Select the script
select input file
select output folder

It works on every .erp file, which is pretty much the entire game.

This can also be used to make handling editor for F1 2015, i needed it to be able to write some trainers, so that i don't have to spend ages to search things, now it's easy, so trainers are inbound :)

Special thanks to Luigi for fast response and script.

Just a quick question, I have managed to extract the .erp files and edit them, but am having trouble re-injecting them back into the game as encrypted .erp files after they have been modded. For instance you said you were modifying the handling files which decrypt into .vtf files of a different size to the original .erp How exactly do you encrypt the .vtf file back into the game. The game just crashes for me if i use the QuickBMS reimporting tool after I've modded a file. Would be nice if you could share your process of reimporting the modded files back into the game.

Hmm, I've tried it a few times and all I get is garbled files, I'm trying to decrypt the Sochi track folder to get at the meshes and textures.
That's where i found out about this script, but the user who said it also said the script produced files you could not use, I don't know enough about code and syntax to work out what the problem is, guess I'll have to wait for 3dsimed support. ;)

well i know nothing about textures, so can't help you there. when I helped Luigi test, he only made sure that all files decrypt properly, he's not a modeler either, so can't help you with textures.
I only needed the handling files, that's all.
