Hi, I used a small batch file that extracts molebox files, I used that to obtain the graphics files for Sonic World, I am now trying to find a repacker to place files that are modded, I know there hasn't been one written yet as I know of and the software Molebox has been discontinued and its site no longer exists.

Ok I try to make clear what you are looking for because I barely understood it but 100% of the readers have no idea of what you are talking about

Basically you have used my "Molebox2 files extractor" (available at http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#molebox2ext) for extracting the content of this game which is stored in archives with the SWARC extension.
The key you displayed in your screenshot is partial because there are 2 final chars missing (3dc67c130404f0faafd06be86568f0...).
Now you need a reimporter or rebuilder.

The short answer is that doesn't exist any solution.
The format is complex, chunked, compresed and encrypted.
You are lucky that I was able to make at least an extractor 7 years ago

Thanks, I read that only the program used that packed the archive could repack such files, but its site has been taken down.

The names of the files that were available on that website were MoleBoxSetup.zip and MoleBoxSDK.zip in case you want to "search" on Google.
Probably there are even older versions available somewhere.
I don't know what of them contained such rebuilder.

I tried to find one of the programs, but all I seen was alternatives, I heard the program is being replaced by something called Steelhide.

Hi, Iv'e been trying something new recently with Sonic World, Iv'e been trying to get it to launch without the pesky molebox file despite all of the files are extracted, I know in earlier versions of this game they had all folders revealed.
