Anyone able to make a script to extract the .resources files for this game? It's probably based off of the Wolfenstein 2 file format since it is the same developer. 

 

I attached a sample resource file

indy.zip

Unfortunately, this tool does not extract text and also does not repack. It would be really nice if a tool could be made for this game.

I wish we could make it load loose files for after it extracts files

Unfortunately, none of these tools fully unarchive and repack.
This game needs a tool that will extract and repack the language files.
And I'm sure there are some very talented people here who can do it.

Is there any news?

I believe that game uses some resources check so you will need patch the exe to load modified resources. At DOOM Eternal there is code which dissable loading lang file from resources and reads is as loose file.

But there is only strings/lang for all languages. No name like english.lang, german.lang or russian.lang etc.

Anyway struct of *.lang file is quite simple.

local uint32 i;

uint32 StringSize;
BigEndian();
uint32 StringCount;
LittleEndian();

struct {
for (i=0; i < StringCount; i++)
    struct {
        uint32 Hash;
        uint32 KeyLen;
        char KeyStr[KeyLen+1];
        uint32 ValLen;
        char ValStr[ValLen+1];
    }StringRef;
}Strings;

Thanks h3x3r, can you please make a tool for this?

Infogram did his tool for DOOM Eternal lang.  So i edited it a bit to work with this one from Indy. But it has one flaw. The lang file has int32 size pointer on the start of file, but i don't know how to read text buffer and and return size of it and write it. So i was doing that with 010 hex editor.

I understand, but thank you for your efforts. I hope you find a way.

Use tool, the text file is located in gameresources_patch1_pc.resources, it is named Strings

Thanks, but there is no back packing feature, so it's not really useful.

Do you need a tool to edit Strings or pack Strings into resources?

Yes, right now we need a tool that will unpack and package both the archive file and the string file.

does anyone know the name of the text file, I've looked for it but can't find it.

I'm writing a tool to edit Strings, wait for it.

Thank you very much 🙂
We also need to repack the .resources, the archive file, so I hope you will take a look at that too.

Can you send me the Strings file?

Hello, thank you very much for your interest in the tool. There are two different tools that open the .resources file, but I'm not sure if they literally extract the string file with the extension defined. So I guess the content of the .resources file should be resolved first. Because we cannot repack the archive file, and we are not sure if the string file is fully defined. Because we extracted this file raw with the Henri tool.

Hi Datura2, as Franco said above, I think you first need an unpacking and repackaging tool inside the .resources archive file. Because we need to put the string file back into the archive. We would really appreciate it if you could take a look at this too.

I've done some research on Strings, the struct is simple, I might have a tool for it, just wait.

I see, this is very good news. We are looking forward to it, thank you 🙂
