Lego Harry Potter *.DAT

[RickyOs]

TTGames has developed several LEGO games. Almost each one of them uses a
different file format for the character data. Inside the game.dat file
there is a folder named CHARS. Insiede this folder you can find the requested
data files.

In chronological order:

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game
*.hgp Version 1
LEGO Star Wars: The Original Triology
*.hgp Version 2
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
*.ghg Version 1
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
*.ghg Version 2
LEGO Batman: The Videogame
In the demo they use *.ghg Version 2
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
I do not own this game
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
In the demo they use *.ghg Version 3

I have managed to extract mesh and image data from hgp Version 2, ghg Version 1,
and ghg Version 2. Since I am new to this topic, I have no idea how to share
the INCOMPLETE structures (besides I have to write them down first) so that
you may use it. I use Hex Workshop, so I could try to write hsl-files?
