Thank you very much. but how to repack back?

[aluigi]

You can't reimport because the compression is applied on the whole data file, in fact the script uses MEMORY_FILE

[cover1995]

That is, you can not back pack?

[aluigi]

No, you can't.

[cover1995]

Then unpack it makes no sense((

[aluigi]

In reality there is a solution.

It's not quick as using that script but it should work perfectly.

Step 1:
open data.cnt with 7-zip and unpack it, the output file will be just "data" without extension.

Step 2:
Use this script, it's just the same of the website but without automatic decompression of data.cnt

Code: Select all

open FDDE "" 1
open FDDE "IDX"
set PATH string ""
set NAME string ""
math SUB_ENTRIES = 1
callfunction EXTRACT

startfunction EXTRACT
    string PATH += NAME
    string PATH += /
    math ENTRIES = SUB_ENTRIES
    for i = 0 < ENTRIES
        get TYPE long
        get NAME string
        if TYPE == 0
            get SUB_ENTRIES long
            callfunction EXTRACT
        else
            get OFFSET long
            get SIZE long
            set FNAME string PATH
            string FNAME += NAME
            log FNAME OFFSET SIZE 1
        endif
    next i
endfunction

Step 3
edit your files and delete those that have not been modified

Step 4
use reimport.bat

Step 5
use gzip on the modified "data" file.
If you don't have gzip or don't know how to use it, use this script:

Code: Select all

comtype gzip_compress
get SIZE asize
get NAME basename
string NAME += ".cnt"
clog NAME 0 SIZE SIZE

Done, it should work perfectly.

Maybe the game is even able to use the extracted files without archive, have you tried it?

And remember that extracting the files makes EVER sense.

You will not believe what I just did not try .. I can give you a link to download the game, there's a lot of that has to be interesting for you, I'm already half a year I suffer to translated into Russian

The problem ?

reomport.bms

Code: Select all

comtype gzip_compress
get SIZE asize
get NAME basename
string NAME += ".cnt"
clog NAME 0 SIZE SIZE

This data are text files that I need to change, but there is no text at unpacking

[cover1995]

I was given the text in binary form(

[aluigi]

As far as I remember the INI are compiled.

[cover1995]

I do not understand

[aluigi]

Basically the INI files are not in clear text, they are in binary form.
If you open them with a hex editor you can see that each file is divided in at least two parts, one with numbers and one with text.
I can't help with decompilers.

[cover1995]

Thanks for the help, I would like to stop at the last as pack files back? You can be more specific?

[cover1995]

UP

[aluigi]

Personally I can't help further.

[cover1995]

No, I mean to repack more back pack files

[cover1995]

There is a problem if the file is large, then it does not repack

[aluigi]

That's a rule of the reimport feature, the file or re-compressed file must be the same or smaller than the original file.
