Sly 2 and 3 demo - Level files (not sure if extractable)

Post by frogz2007 »

By opening the files in a hex editor, it's possible to see file names for what appears to be resources for the levels. I will upload both in 1 archive, and will change the file names so they won't be confused.

It's compressed but I don't know what's the "exact" algorithm.
lzss0 gives a good result at the beginning.
With the scanner I get 12, 117, 125, 181, 243, 244, 289 and 291, most of them are lzss-related.

So, in essence, some files are there, but not extractable due to the algorithm not being known?

Exactly. Without the exact algorithm you can't get the original archive.

Oh, darn. That's unfortunate, to say the least.
