GameOver Games Resource File (.go)

Games developed by GameOver Games store their assets in GO files, I've mostly figured out the format but the files appear to be compressed. I would like to have this looked at. Here are samples from Arkanoid: The Virtual Isles: https://www77.zippyshare.com/v/O3Sdv034/file.html

Ok, thanks. I just get error "403 - Forbidden" every time. Hopefully someone else can see it, or if you could upload it elsewhere? Thanks.

Thanks. That one worked.

Yes, the files are compressed using ZLIB compression. It should be easy enough to come up with a BMS script, if there isn't one already in existence.

Thanks, here's a script:

Code: Select all

idstring "GaveOverGames' Resource File"
goto 0x26
get FILES long
goto 0x100
comtype zlib

for i = 0 < FILES
	get NAME_OFF long
	get ZERO long
	get NEXT_OFF long
	get SIZE long
	get ZSIZE long
	
	goto NAME_OFF
	get NAME string
	savepos OFFSET
	
	clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
	goto NEXT_OFF
next i

I have found an older version of this format and it appears to be using a different compression: https://www95.zippyshare.com/v/0IWuM8Yc/file.html
Could someone identify the compression used here, please?

EDIT: Seems to be some LZW variation?
