CLDB .DAT (Unity Unpacker Definitions file)

Post by NoMansModsz »

This file comes from the TPK file (proprietary archive) from UABE: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthrea ... -Extractor
I found the unarchived file on the internet, but don't know how to extract it myself. I would also like information on the extracted CLDB file, I assume it's
a true-text database (possibly YAML, JSON, XML) of information pertaining to unity archive formats. I want to see the contents of this file to grow my
knowledge of the unity's formats.

EDIT: Just got information that the CLDB file is generated by the deserializer's assembly code. Possibly comparable to something like the PDB format:

Presumably, the CLDB file holds addresses to values that need to be deserialized through code.

This zip includes both the TPK archive, and the extracted CLDB file:

Please and thank you! :)
