Baba Is You (Assets.dat, Chowdren)

Post by Adrmcr »

Hi! I've come here because I've been having troubles with extracting Baba Is You's assets.dat. From what i can gather, it's the same format as Freedom Planet, which has already been extracted open. However, the BMSes/python scripts for it (and for any other similar games) don't seem to be working with Baba Is You; I can't find the right offset, and even when I think I know what the offset is, the scripts still error with stuff like gzip not recognising the correct format.

Unfortunately I can't attach the assets.dat to this message (it's just way too big), however I can link the freeware level editor version that the developer made public when the level editor came out, and contains the assets.dat file.
