VBS2 / Jcove

Post by aluigi »

before someone asks, I have added support into my pbo.bms script for the encrypted xbo archives used in the game Jcove lite (VBS2 engine).
all these "*bo" archives are used in the games developed by Bohemia Interactive like the ArmA series.

the only thing I still need to implement is support for the compressed files but in all the archives I have seen (arma/arma2 and some of jcove) I have never found them, so if someone has one of them (easy to see because the script will report an error if one file is compressed) I can add this feature too

after a better search seems that the pbo archives use lzss, so I have updated the script

Is there a way to get them back to .xbo?
I can pbo them but engine will not read them unless they are encrypted to .xbo.

depbo is a dll file used by all of mikero's tools

rstratton thanks for tip.
I'm using his tools but didn't know that Mikero went so far with his dll, supporting xbos.
I tried making xbo with latest DePbo.dll but it fails somehow.
