[SOLVED] Supreme Commander (X360) - *.scd (unsupported ZIP compression)

Post by AlphaTwentyThree »

I've just tried to take a look into these zip archives. QuickBMS throws the error "Unsupported compression method 24".
Did I miss the release of some newer zip extractor?

Yeah, it uses a non-standard compression for zip files - lzma_86dechead

There are plenty of zip extract scripts around, but I didn't check them all. I've adapted one I wrote to work for these archives.
