Can anybody help with unpack dat archives?
Game files here:

DAT files is encrypted. Need full game for research.

The game is protected with Themida, but I had no luck with unpacking it yet. If someone wants the binaries just send me a PM.

No it's not. Did you even check the file?



I literally copied it from point to point its all just raw data. I'll have a BMS Script up soon.

parser dat files

10 line - path to firectory for unpacked files
11 line - path to parsed file

Thank episoder for hint.

upd: Fix skipping last file

How to use:

1. Download and install python's interpreter
(https://www.python.org/downloads/)

2. Edit script - this is simple text file

10 line - path to firectory for unpacked files
11 line - path to parsed file

path_BaseDirectory = " _ your directory for unpacked files _ "
unpack_file = " _ your path to *.dat file _"

3. Save it.

4. Drag and drop script file to python.exe

5. Wait, watch and enjoy

I used the Python 3.4 64bit to test your script.
I only downloaded the model.dat Db.dat and StringTable.dat 3 files.
Here is the result(I've edited path you mentioned in line 10 and line 11.

I've put the StringTable.dat and DB.dat in the same folder.

Here is the error log

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "H:\GIS\gits_unpacker1.1.py", line 49, in <module>
    print("File discriptor offset: " + str(back_offset - 8) + " " +file_name)
TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly

Edit : Using the Python 32 bit version has successfully extracted the file.
Do not use 64 bit Python to run this script:P

This is fantastic, thanks, I bought it and was dismayed when I found it was just a crappy fps, now I can actually use the models and justify blowing £££ on it.

Yay, managed to extract the models, now to find a way to import/export the nif.

Anybody have an idea how to read data from the TDB's from the DB.dat?

[Gazyi]

Extractor script works only on Python 2.x. Just saying, so people don't waste time trying to run it on 3+ versons.

We hacking the game over at UnknownCheats

Would someone possibly be able to help me out here...? I'm not entirely sure what I need to do to rectify this as it doesn't seem to have been an error anyone else has come up against...

[Acewell]

looks like the \f in the path is being interpreted as the escape sequence \x0c which is a form feed.

just for completeness and future extraction. the v2 capable script. tested on closed pts files and working in python 2.7 (sfm) and 3.5 (blender) and extracting both the live and upcoming v2 files. and it's alil bit faster.
