Splatoon: Filetypes

These are all the filetypes in the content folder, and links to tools on how to edit them.

Types:

Packages:

• .szs

This is a compressed file format, and can contain other files inside of it.

• Switch Toolbox

• .pack

This is a file format that contains other files and folders inside of it, without direct compression on the files.

• Switch Toolbox

Sound:

• .bfstm

This is a filetype used for soundtracks, like battle music, and is streamed to RAM.

• Switch Toolbox
• BrawlBox

• .bfwav

This is used for sound effects in Splatoon, usually found in .bars files.

• Read .bfwav: Switch Toolbox
• Create .bfwav: (placeholder)

• .bameta

These files seem like they are metadata files for their corresponding .bfwav files. (Through minimal testing, I could not figure out how much control the file has on how the sound effect is played.)

• Hexed.it (no good editor yet)

• .bars

This is used to contain and package .bfwav files with their .bameta files, and section them off to related objects/scenes.

• Switch Toolbox

• .btsnd

This is Splatoon’s bootsound, found in the meta folder. This covers the transition between the Wii U menu .rpx, and the Splatoon .rpx.

• wav2btsnd

Models:

• .bfres

This is Splatoon’s model file, which can contain models, materials, textures, animations, and more.

• Switch Toolbox

Other:

• .bin (only for PlazaNpcPreset??.bin)

This is a binary file, holding data for the original 30 Plaza NPCs.

• PlazaNpcPreset-Editor v1.0
• (DJMrTV’s editor placeholder)
