Quake 2 Demo .PACK file help (new to QuickBMS)

[beastedot9]

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to learn quickbms and following the tutorial here: http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php?title=DGTEFF

At the end it requires you to analyse the pak0 file from Q2 demo and this is my script for it so far:

Code: Select all

idstring "PACK"
get BASE_OFF long
get ArchiveSize long
goto BASE_OFF 
set NUM_OF_FILES 1106

for i = 1 < NUM_OF_FILES
   getdstring NAME 0x10
   get OFFSET long
   get SIZE long
   goto OFFSET
log NAME OFFSET SIZE 
next i

It just stays at offset 0 and extracts a bunch of files so I'm really not sure where I'm going wrong with this. If anyone could take the time to help, I'd really appreciate it.

The file in question: https://mega.nz/#!MhhTiBrS!Ng_xeSoYMKLd ... 6uunA559H8

Thank you for reading

1) The length of the names is 0x38 bytes.
2) Remove "goto OFFSET"

To retrieve the number of files there are some solutions (ASIZE is meant to be get ASIZE asize):
1) FILES = (ASIZE - BASE_OFF) / (0x38 + 4 + 4)
2) for BASE_OFF = BASE_OFF != ASIZE
3)
for
savepos TMP
if TMP == ASIZE
break
endif
...
3) endless loop till you get the read error that you can ignore

Thank you, I managed to get my first script done thanks to your help

Seems I overlooked a few things. If you don't mind me asking, did you document the commands that can be done with quickbms as I'd like to keep them handy for reference purposes during writing scripts. Thank you again for your help and quickbms itself

Edit: Nevermind found it in the txt file.
