Wombat (available at http://www.szevvy.com ) lets you do some basic operations on data through the script: file name = "*1.gfx" is ( folder: "Background Tiles" [16] ( encryptedData SecretAgentXOR[8064] ( data(3) unknown image EGA( width: 16 height: 16 dataSize: 8061 tilesAcross: ...

Change the script to viewer "Buzz Master Quiz" file name = "*.tex" is ( data(16) unknown compressedData zlib[bytesRemaining] ( palette RGBA image VGA ( width: 256 height: 256 ) ) ) so you don't have to get rid of the first 16 bytes. You can't replace at the moment, sorry - Wombat...

If you still need this, I've made one for you. 1. Download Wombat Game Tools from http://www.szevvy.com/download/wombat-1.0a-setup.exe 2. Notice it doesn't create a Start Menu icon - only just noticed this, sorry. The default install folder is c:\Program Files\Wombat. Go there, go into the viewers f...

Some guy named Grom PE has put a complete extractor + source up.

http://grompe.org.ru/

Hi guys, Does anyone have the source code to something that can decompress PKLite compressed exe's? I know that Tron can handle them, as can UNP and Unpklite - but I'm sure someone out there's worked out how it works and has rolled into a project of their own...it would make me very happy! Thanks in...

I'm still of the opinion that 90% of the time, you don't need to script. The way that file formats are described on the Wiki, i.e. just the layout of the file is in most cases readable and usable (with a bit of modification) by an interpreter. I've still got some issues with games that require data ...

LUA is problematic, as it doesn't support (natively) integers or bitwise operations. If there's a version out there that does, please let know, but for now I'm more inclined towards Python as it supports both of the above.

OK - the bkg is basically a bunch of 8-bit images, in the example you gave it seems to be backgrounds, you can make out buildings and ships, etc. The format is as so: 4 bytes: "bkg1" 4 bytes: all zeroes in the example you provided 4 bytes: an unsigned 32-bit, the number of images in this f...

What happened to your backslashes?

First, you're going to have to make some assumptions for me. :) 1. Assume that I've been working on a game extractor since May, and it's starting to come together. 2. Assume I've released game extractors before and thus know how to code, and - 3. Assume I'm posting this here only because this seems ...

Can you put up a compressed and uncompressed version of the same file? "Differing in picture data" means that the vast majority of data is useless as we can't compare the two.

edit: although, if you're sure the two headers are the same that gives 256 bytes to work with, I guess.

We don't want all the data. We want a bit from the front and back as that usually says a lot about the rest of the file. It's like going in for a blood test - they don't take all your blood, a little bit is enough to tell 'em about the rest.

I hate to be a pest, and I'm grateful you guys credit people who help out - but it's spelt 'szevvy'

Sadly, I don't know BMS but I'm sure someone here can convert it over.

Hopefully this doesn't come too late - the "1.000 is not a floating point value" error is perhaps something I can help with - for some people. I came across this same issue a while while writing some Soldat stuff; it turned out that people with that problem were in Europe, and their versio...
