This game has character files like Megatron.str and I want to play as Scrapper in this game but unfortunately he is not in the characters folder. And the only place he can be in is this file. I wish to extract the character file from here. Once it's extracted, I can easily rename the character file to Megatron.str and play as Scrapper. But if u can extract every character in this file that would also be appreciated. I hope someone can help me with this. And I cannot add the file because it is too big so I uploaded it to google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kkCB9m ... sp=sharing

This file is from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen PC game levels/deepsix_01/missions/deepsix_01_a_defend/mission.str

This will at least decompress that file. Not sure if it's chunked...

Code:

####################################
comtype zlib_noerror
get BaseFileName basename
idstring "mrts"
get TotalFileSize long
getdstring Dummy 0x8
get Files long
math TotalFileSize - 20
savepos Offset
string Name p= "%s/%s.dat" BaseFileName BaseFileName

clog Name Offset TotalFileSize TotalFileSize
