It will make 'out.packet' file, rename it to whatever it was originally and put into the game.Īudio bank unpacker for Showdown. It contains some unknown info that we need to put back into the package. 'data.bin' file made by extractor must be in the same folder. Repack ONE strings file into the new package. If the source file will contain either of these bytes, it will not work. I just replaced 0xD to 0xF0 and 0xA to 0xF1. Some lines contain 'next line' characters and when converted to txt it will be impossible to leave them. If the parameter is txt file, it will do import. This will not correspond to languages, just some special flag. So I decide to unpack them adding 'version' flag at the end. Multi-language files have the same name inside the package. Files will be named as hash, with proper extensions. It will unpack the contents into the same folder. May also work with other Bitsquid games and also the new Autodesk Stingray Engine games like Warhammer: End Times. Tested on Showdown Effect demo, Gauntlet, Wizard Wars, Helldivers. Here you can download the Showdown Effect demo from free on Steam, it's around 4-500 megabytes, has the same filesystem -> Īnd also here's a screenshot of a 1 kbyte file from the game that's opened in a HEX Editor: If anyone can help me research these (how to extract them, how to repack them.etc) then please let me know, and I'll get back to you when I can. These files vary from sizes, some can be 50 or 64 kbyte, and some can be 75 megs or more. There are also some random files which have another file like them, but it has an extension, which is.

They are found mostly in the Content folder (maybe it's made with XDK?), and all file names are 16 char long with random characters in them (like e7729a796e71cb7e, d7bd9aca006835ae, c9ecdfc7f0c89432.etc), and they don't have a file extension, just that random name.

Arrowhead has made lots of great games, and it seems that they are all using the very same engine, which I don't know if it's custom made or not.
