New QuickBMS and Offbreak

Post by aluigi »

2 new versions available for you:

QuickBMS 0.6.7
http://quickbms.aluigi.org

Offbreak:
http://aluigi.org/mytoolz.htm#offbreak


Offbreak has been updated with a couple of new options and a fix for catching more reads.
Those changes come from some tests I performed on the Toybox Turbos game where there is something interesting when it reads the win_000.nfs archive, because it's read from the download folder of Steam ever from offset 0. I didn't investigate further.
With Steam games it's suggested to use the -e SteamAppId=APPID option where APPID is the ID of the game, otherwise Steam will terminate it and will start a new instance with the necessary environment variables.
Keep it in mind with your tests.

Luigi - would you like create a new section for news and tools updates? Because i see QuickBMS news in different sections like:

0.6.1 Update news in section - Help with QuickBMS & tools - here
0.6.7 Update news in section - Game Archive - here

Anyway thx for update ;)

I'm in doubt about what section may fit better for these updates.
I guess "Help with QuickBMS & tools" is better probably.

If I make a new section then people will start posting in it :)
Same if I make a thread about quickbms updates :)

Now I move this thread to the Help section.
