Star Trek: 25th Aniversary and Judgement Rites

Post by raulpuro »

Hi,

I would like to use the texts in Spanish versions of diskettes, 25th Aniversary versions, this version contains the voices of the original characters.

Well, there is an application designed to extract all resources, but unfortunately there is no application to re-package them.

Is possible to pack the files again?

Greetings and thanks.

Provide a sample of these archives for testing a script that you can use for reimporting.

Unfortunately I can't help.
First of all because the archive uses chunked files, currently not supported by quickbms.
The the compression algorithm is a sort of modified lzss and if I don't have the exact algorithm or the exact parameters of that lzss, you can't reimport the files.

Hi,

The only information we have is the code of the application made in pascal.

Well, if no application for re-import, is because it's not trivial. it's a shame.

Thanks for your time.

I have some better news.
The files are not chunked but they are just separate files so no problems with reimporting.
The only problem is the recompression algorithm, I can check if I can do something.

*update* I will not work on the recompression algorithm, sorry.

Hi,

No problem, i supposed it was complicated. Thanks for bothering to look at the files.

Greetings.
