Defense Grid *.DGP

Hi, one simple question - is there someone who tried to get info about game files? I tried but there is any CRC and every editation makes game crash with message about damaged data. I thout that it is SHA1 or just modified value from SHA1 hash, but not sure.

Check attached 2 simple files (index data inside) and take a look on it. I think that CRC value is on last 20 bytes.

Hmm, no one wanna try?

ops I just noticed that instead in the full game the hash is simply xored with that special sequence of bytes without modifications to the sha1 algorithm like happens on the demo.
I will update the tool but in any case it's only a xor operation so you can do it also manually

[XRaptor]

oh, simple, got it thnx for help

[aluigi]

tool updated, check my first post

Well, I think it doesn't work Hash is counted ok, but writing back to file doesn't work.

uhmmm what you mean with "doesn't work"?
do you receive an error from the tool?
the output file has something strange?

how was your input file?
I mean had it already an hash (correct or wrong) at its end or just nothing?

here everything works perfectly overwriting the input file (dgridhash -o input_file input_file), so check if you have specified the correct options in case your input file doesn't have an hash at the end.

-a and -r switches are not working. Hash is never writed to file. -o seems to be working

here everything works.

for example I took data0001.dgp and copied it in another folder then I removed the 20 bytes hash at its end and then I launched:
dgridhash -a -o Z:\data0001.dgp Z:\data0001.dgp

and now the file is exactly like the original.

remember that the -o is necessary to write the file because "dgridhash file" does NOT overwrite the same file but simply calculates and shows its hash. any write operation is performed with -o

So that's the problem, there is no info that -o switch must be provided I just tried -a and -r + filename

I have written a bms script for the dgp files:
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/defense_grid.bms

you must select only the file contains the number 0000 like data0000.dgp or enus0000.dgp (so the first dgp of the collection) because that one is the index file
