God of War script for unpacking .pak file

[AnonBaiter]

^ I don't think he has the ISO though.

[AnonBaiter]

Okay, just to see if I actually had a grasp of these God of War 2 archives...

So aluigi, I just had to check up the European version of that game and to be quite honest these PART1.PAK and PART2.PAK archives(a.k.a. 2 PAK archives) are the same as the American version of that game. Only the PART_NUM field is different in GODOFWAR.TOC from that version(see attachment below).

[aluigi]

So, in short, does the script work or not?
It's old stuff and I would avoid to return on it.

[AnonBaiter]

Just debunking your GOW2 5-pak theory.

About your question, it`s safe to say "no". Although...

Code: Select all

   math OFFSET * 0x800

[AnonBaiter]

Okay, let me see if I grasped this one yet...

So, you have this file info out of GODOFWAR.TOC(using a modified version of your script of course; the script does not try to load the .PAK files this time):

Code: Select all

. 0000000000000226
. 0000000000004d5c getdstr NAME       "BG22004A.VPK" 24
    42 47 32 32 30 30 34 41 2e 56 50 4b 00 00 00 00   BG22004A.VPK....
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00                           ........
. 0000000000004d74 get     SIZE       0x0000000000494800 4
. 0000000000004d78 get     PART_NUM   0x0000000000000002 4
. 0000000000004d7c get     OFFSET_IDX 0x00000000000002b4 4
. 0000000000010014 get     OFFSET     0x00000000001faf43 4
2
. 00000000 putarr  OFFSET     0x00000000fd7a1800 0:550
.

So, you're seeing that the .VPK file has an offset of 0x1faf43, which multiplied by 0x800 the result is 0xfd7a1800. Finally, it weighs at 0x494800 in size. And this is from PART1.PAK.

However, for PART2.PAK it seems it is needed to find the offset for this file.

Code: Select all

. 00000000000006ce
. 000000000000f4fc getdstr NAME       "ZEUS10.WAD" 24
    5a 45 55 53 31 30 2e 57 41 44 00 00 00 00 00 00   ZEUS10.WAD......
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00                           ........
. 000000000000f514 get     SIZE       0x00000000002b8540 4
. 000000000000f518 get     PART_NUM   0x0000000000000001 4
. 000000000000f51c get     OFFSET_IDX 0x0000000000000a34 4
. 0000000000011e14 get     OFFSET     0x0000000000a155cd 4
1
. 00000000 putarr  OFFSET     0x000000050aae6800 0:1742
.

With that offset, it doesn't seem like a big deal, right? Well, turns out the ZEUS10.WAD offset actually resides in the offset 0x45fa6800, right down to the same size and within the same archive(PART2.PAK).

Both screenshots with proof of these files are in the attachment.

[aluigi]

So you have PART_NUM 2 but the file is in PART1.PAK, and then you have PART_NUM 1 and the file is in PART2.PAK.
Is that correct?

If that's true how can you trust the information written in the TOC if the PART_NUM field is random?

Because the PART_NUM value differs for no reason. See here:

By the time 05D01S1.VA1 is reached the PART_NUM field acts completely chaotic, and it all goes downhill from there. It doesn't care that there are only two 4GB files(PART1.PAK and PART2.PAK) that relate to the GODOFWAR.TOC, it just randomizes the numbers as it sees fit. See the attached full report and you see what I mean.

[aluigi]

So there is no way to get the data if you can't trust a field which is essential for the extracting process.

[AnonBaiter]

So there is no way to get the data if you can't trust a field which is essential for the extracting process.

There is... so long as you do something like this:

Code: Select all

math PART_NUM == ACTUAL_PART_NUM

This way, the latter variable can be used for something else(including xmath operations) later on.

I've also thought of other options for handling that field, however I didn't put much confidence into it. I doubt that this one will help either.

[aluigi]

Not a solution because I remember that the files were not usually stored sequentially.

[AnonBaiter]

Heh.

Hi, I'm an Iranian, and I do not know much about English.
I have a request. Please help me please

I asked so much in Iran that nobody knew, I want to export the models and animations of the God of War game 1 inside the Part1.Pak file.
I could open the Part1.Pak file using a script, and now I'm going to some form.
pss, psw, vpk, vag, wad
I could exhaust my videos and music but I could not open wad files. I want to expand models and animations as well as textures.

Please help me make you my last hope
Thank you very much for your work

Any question?

On this side, this person has been able to pull out the model, using the tool he explained. Now, my question is, what is this tool? And how is it implemented?
https://github.com/mogaika/god_of_war_browser

What is god_of_war_browser and how is it implemented?

[Kratos9999]

Hi hawre, this tool was created to help investigate the files in the Gow, and mainly to allow the romhackers translate the game to another language. I used this tool to translate Gow into my language, this tool open and handles the WAD files, is as all-in-one tool to the Gow. If you need help with WAD archives and if you plan to do a translation, send a private message for me, I can help.

I know a little persian and Afghanian (becuase i worked in a iranian Sofware Company about 6 Years Ago)
،سلام به شما، من ایرانی می‌‌دانم،
چه نسخه‌ای را می گویید؟ شاید بتوانم به شما کمک کنم

[Hawre]

Hello
My friends recorded a video that I described all the stuff in this video
I ask you to look at this video and tell me what to do with the animations and the models?

Download : http://www.mediafire.com/file/l93ijr4i8 ... 1.mp4/file

[Hawre]

Hi guys god_of_war_browser The new version has come out very interestingly this time it can open and play animations.
Only I got into trouble again. Its construction does not respond to emails.
How can I save your animation if you can?
And another question how to convert SND files to Wav format?
Why does it get broken and the mesh crashes when I drive into Maya or Unity?
