Missing on Lost Island extract dat

Post by Pakolmo »

Hello!

I want to translate missing on lost island (2002) to spanish. And I want to extract/import the dat files of the game.

Please, can you help me?

Thank you.

Code: Select all

get FILES long
for i = 0 < FILES
    get OFFSET long
    get SIZE long
    if OFFSET != 0xffffffff
        log "" OFFSET SIZE
    endif
next i

No idea about what the content of the extracted files should represent.

Hi,

I am also interested in translating this game. The script works correctly but the files seem a hieroglyph. Do you have any idea that we can do, aluigi?

Hi,

I thought that the file sending for Pakolmo, maybe not contain the texts, but all the game files have the same format and none seems readable.

It is a shame. Thanks for your time.

The first 2 bytes of the files in Speed.dat and Music.dat are the frequency followed by the 32bit size and another 32bit field that looks like a sort of size of the pcm raw data (because the audio is clearly encoded with an audio codec).
Probably the data starts from offset 0x14.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for looking at the files again. It seems that it is not possible to extract the text and that's the most important for translation, sometimes I do not understand why the programmers encode the texts?
