The following are 6 recent examples of simple file formats and simple scripts.
Feel free to try to understand them for practice.

Note that almost all the archives are truncated to 2 megabytes, that's a quite common situation when we analyze file formats.

Cargo:
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/others/cargo.bms
download/file.php?mode=view&id=20
Notes: not very complex but it uses nested directories so you must use an extraction function that calls itself

Party of Sin:
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/others/party_of_sin.bms
download/file.php?mode=view&id=24
Notes: no index, just file information followed by the file itself

The Journey Down:
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/others/journey_down.bms
download/file.php?mode=view&id=23
Notes: big endian

Cobi Treasure Deluxe
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/others/cobi_treasure.bms
download/file.php?mode=view&id=22
Notes: xored with a multibytes password

Chompy
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/others/chompy.bms
download/file.php?mode=view&id=21
Notes: files without name

Floria
http://aluigi.org/papers/bms/others/floria.bms
download/file.php?mode=view&id=33
Notes: XOR on the whole archive, except the first 32bit value

@ raykingnihong
Please don't go OT.
New requests go in new threads.

The Cargo script doesn't work on the file. The FILES variable (long at 0x08) is 0 so it doesn't read any files. The routine within the loop also looks wrong.

Thanks a lot, I have updated the script.
The format uses nested directories so it's a good example of recursive function.
