Time Crisis 4 - .npk and .hsl formats, presumably archives.

Post by billywws »

In Time Crisis 4 for the PlayStation 3, the audio, game data and cutscenes, are each packaged up in a large .npk file, accompanied by a .hsl file. But unfortunately the .npk files are large, with the smallest one being 1.1GB.

An example of these files are audio.npk, and audio.hsl.

Luckily the format is the same of Rising Storm, I simply updated the script to 0.1a for replacing the expected pkg extension with the NOT-"hsl" one:

Wow, this worked perfectly for TC4's files! Thanks, this was extremely helpful!
