[Request] Guild Wars 2 DAT

[nicoli_s]

i havent done any real work on gw1, so im not sure how the ARMFARMF file compares to gw1, if it even existed in gw1. didnt get a chance to finish it last night, but looks to be a header, a count of entries, and then for each entry 20 bytes of data, then null padded unicode strings for each entry

[Nimba]

Here is I think the relevant information from GW1 that could help you:

Code: Select all

struct MainHeader
{
	unsigned char ID[4];
	int HeaderSize;
	int SectorSize;
	int CRC1;
	__int64 MFTOffset;
	int MFTSize;
	int Flags;
};

struct MFTHeader
{
	unsigned char ID[4];
	int Unk1;
	int Unk2;
	int EntryCount;
	int Unk4;
	int Unk5;
};

struct MFTEntry
{
	__int64 Offset;
	__int32 Size;
	unsigned short a;
	unsigned char b;
	unsigned char c;
	__int32 ID;
	__int32 CRC;
	__int32 type;
	__int32 uncompressedSize;
	__int32 Hash;
};

struct MFTExpansion
{
	int FileNumber;
	int FileOffset;
};

And earlier in the post, someone said that there is an extra 8 bits of data between the headersize and Sectorsize, so it turns into this:

Code: Select all

struct MainHeader
{
	unsigned char ID[4];
	int HeaderSize;
	unsigned char Unk0[4];
	int SectorSize;
	int CRC1;
	__int64 MFTOffset;
	int MFTSize;
	int Flags;
};

I am sure there is more that needs changing, but it seems to read the header correctly at least, not sure.

Here is the xentax wiki page for GW1:

oh im not even worrying with the .dat for now, I got all the files extracted and categorized, so i dont even access the .dat in my app for now, i was talking about that one specific file you posted w/ the map names

[Gornoth]

Anyone been able to extract files from the .dat yet?

using the updated dat extractor provided it'll extract files alright with a few 'error' files which you can skip, but it seems they're not all 100% recognized or contain data errors. For instance there's only a few sound OGG files that appear which are less then a second in length and the only texture files that I can open are the DDS ones since the ATEX converter doesn't seem to work. The DDS files open reasonably well, but after a set X amount of pixels, there is a random color pixel inserted into the data stream, and this repeats through the entire image such that towards the bottom of the file they can be offset by quite a lot.

Just an FYI for the ATEX reader (that ocmes with the browser or unpacker, forget which came with it). It actually can read the ATEX files and convert them to PNGs. It handsl DXT1-5 and 2 other specific ones. ATEP and ATEXDCX dont work.

Hello,

I cant really extract much files.
After 14 files the program is closing with an error

You need to skip those files that error out by increasing the start file parameter in the command line. So instead of typing
gwunpacker gw2stream.dat x 0 124950
You would move on skipping the file 15 as you can see in the log window at the bottom and type:
gwunpacker gw2stream.dat x 16 124950
if that and any other files also error just go up by one each time continuing where the last error file was.

Ahh, okay, horrible, but it seems to work by that now.
thank you

Very cool reading all this. Just a quick question is there any command line arguments found?

[Antodias]

There are some just like in Guild Wars 1: -image, -bmp, -noui
