[PC] The Cave - *.~h and *.~p archives

[ikskoks]

Hello. I need help with unpacking and repacking archives in this game. Can someone look at this files and create quick bms script or tool/unpacker? Please
In "p" files there are content of the game (like textures)
In "h" files there are file names

I uploaded files for analysis to this post.

Thank you. I'll try this ^^

I searched with wrong method ;p

File format is similar to the format of game "Stacking".
Also like format of game "Costume Quest", with some modifications.

These files seem to have a small difference, none of the above methods worked.

Double_Fine_Unpacker
Test Version

Double_Fine_Unpacker.rar

I searched in the internet for the tools to this game and I found new version of Double Fine tool that can support files from The Cave. We can unpack/repack files or strings with text to translate. Enjoy

Example unpacking command: C:\Users\ikskoks>C:\Users\ikskoks\Desktop\DoubleFineTool\DoubleFineTool.exe -u "
D:\The Cave\Win\Packs\Loc_enUS.~h" C:\Users\ikskoks\Desktop\DoubleFineTool

DoubleFineTool.exe - name of the tool
-u - unpacking option
"D:\The Cave\Win\Packs\Loc_enUS.~h" - path to the "h" file
C:\Users\ikskoks\Desktop\DoubleFineTool - a folder where files will be unpacked

EDIT: Download also available here --> < link expired >

Hi guys,
Has anybody tried to edit game fonts? I tried, but without success. Game will not show letters, only white squares (like missing characters). I have used Scaleform 3.x and 4.x for generating GFx, but result is the same.

UPDATE:
Got it! Problem was in one byte. After generating GFx file, one byte was "0x03" (maybe a Scaleform version??), but original GFx file has "0x02" there. So I changed it back to 0x02 and voilà, fonts are showing

Highlighted byte is THAT byte:

Sadly it still can't unpack XBOX360 version file.

Hello, merlinsvk.
Could you tell me how to use the Scaleform 3.x or 4.x to generate the GFx?
I want to translate the game to my own language, already know how to unpack/pack the *.P files.
Could you help me, please?

[michalss]

Scaleform Gfx it's default Flash SWF with changed header CWS to GFX

Scaleform SDK can be used from Adobe Flash, while you editing fonts in flash file, but it's not necessary. I'm using it from command line like:

Code: Select all

gfxexport englishfonts.swf

Then I change that one byte and pack new .gfx to .~p archive.

That's all.

Does not work the way. White squares instead of letters.
How to change font in SWF-file in Adobe Flash?

Thanks for your replying. But I have one more question.
What should I do if I want to use another font? Should I change the font name?
Sorry, I'm not good at Adobe Flash.
