Dungeon Keeper 2

I know its old now, but what about the other files of Dungeon Keeper 2 like Meshes, Sprites and so on?
The only format supported by MultiEx Commander is .sdt...

EA-Games and Bullfrog don't want to make a third Game

but modding is a good way to revive it

There is an official tool for .WAD files in DK2 and even a way for the game to use external files instead of .WAD.

You can get it here:
http://dk2.ea-europe.com/dk2/content/su ... index.html

Here is what I know about DK2 .WAD format:
- There is a header :

Code: Select all

type DWFBHeader = packed record
       ID: array[0..3] of char;
       Version: integer;
       Filler: array[0..63] of byte;
       Dirnum: integer;
       NameOffset: integer;
       NameSize: integer;
       Unknown: integer;
     end;

ID is "DWFB"
- Just after the header is the index (Dirnum times DWFBEntry) :

Code: Select all

type DWFBEntry = packed record
       Unknown: integer;
       NameOffset: integer;
       NameSize: integer;
       Offset: integer;
       Size: integer;        // Compressed size in bytes
       CompMethod: integer;  // Compression method: 0 = None
                             //                     4 = Unknown compression method
       UncompSize: integer;  // Decompressed size in bytes
       Filler: array[0..11] of byte;
     end;

Entries with CompMethod = 4 are compressed with something that looks like Huffman compression (but I haven't had time to have a deeper look at it).

Hope this helps.

Can I change the original sound (.mp2) files with my own translated files?

We'd like to translate this game into hungarian, but first of all, we should know if it works.

[Mr.Mouse]

There are various MP2 encoders around, to convert from wav to mp2 to mp3 etc. That will work. You chould check what type of MP2 the game uses and then make sure your mp2s are like that.

[SilentHill]

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough before.

The sound files are compressed into a lot of *.sdt files that can be read with MultiEx Commander I saw that the Import option doesn't work so I'd like to know if I need a plug-in to make it work, or it just can read them, and there's no way to replace the orig. files within the *.sdt file with my own ones.

[Mr.Mouse]

Sorry for the late reponse, but I'm swamped in work and family matters. I will see if I can fix file replacement for you.

[SilentHill]

Thank you, and please, let me know if you figure it out.
