Hi everyone, someone can provide/make for me a tool for unpack/repack the files into this wad archive? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B24D4L ... p=drivesdk
My goal is not to get the textures or the models, but only the texts and scripts files, a tool for export and import only the text files. Later, I will be post the link with other WAD archive that contain texts, but the file in the link above contain some scripts.
NOTE: Wad archive is from Gow1 (Ps2 version).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B24D4L ... p=drivesdk
IN THIS link there is my target WAD and details about the texts files.

There is no structure, just like there are never the names of the games in all your posts.

Well, guess what I got when I came into one of these files?

Code:

# God of War (PS2) - *.WAD

open FDDE "wad" 0

get WAD_SIZE asize 0
savepos OFFSET
do
   goto OFFSET
   get TYPE long
   get SIZE long
   getdstring NAME 0x18
   savepos OFFSET
   math SIZE x= 0x10
   if TYPE == 0x18
      math SIZE == 0
   endif
   if SIZE != 0
      log NAME OFFSET SIZE
   endif
   math OFFSET  = SIZE
while OFFSET < WAD_SIZE

I don't remember the .WAD file structure being like this, let alone the file being extracted this way.
The actual structure of a .WAD file is like this:

Code:

The "WIP" script I've posted gives you an idea of the structure.

Okay, now the script is released! Check out at my "Script Compendium" thread.

This WAD it seems do not reduce the filesize, only joint them. If I insert a file larger than original using the Hex editor, the others files after this are moved out your original position. How I can update the new positions of those files and make the game to read them?

AnonBaiter, posted Wed May 03, 2017 12:46 am (22837)

I can`t think of anything else, really.

For the time being, try to experiment with manual hex editing using your hex editor program of choice.

Hi Anonbaiter, I've translated all the strings in text plain using only the Hex editor and the Notepad . However, the menu texts, weapons menu, I have not found, it seems compressed. Something texts are in the main executable, the others I have no idea. The only place that I have found manys scripts has been the R_PERM.WAD and the R_SHELL.WAD.
Can you help me to find the remaining texts? If YES, I can upload some files that I hope to be compressed text or using special table chars

I only have the European version by now, but I`ll see what I can do.

Bring them on.

Well, in FLP_Shell and FLP_HUD these "texts" aren't actually compressed or encrypted in any way. Perhaps, it may have something to do with some kind of (compiled) programming stuff.

Kratos9999, posted Wed May 03, 2017 5:50 pm (22850)

Some idea where this texts can be? It seems to be very hidden.

Not as I know of.

Kratos9999, posted Wed May 03, 2017 9:21 pm (22855)

Anonbaiter, can you upload here the executable of Gow1 european version, and the R_PERM and R_SHELL from this version, but the Text Font?
It is why the texts in Spanish are larger, so I have more liberty to type larger texts, and the Spanish have support to special chars.

Editing this post to delete the repeated, my internet connection has failed several times when I try to reply, and in the end, the browser has duplicate the posts. I managed to delete just a post repeated. Sorry.

Okay, here.

Kratos9999, posted Wed May 03, 2017 9:55 pm (22861)

Thanks Anonbaiter, it is missing only the R_SHELL, R_PERM and the Chars Font.

Anonbaiter, I figured out a bit about the WAD structure, the details is in 2 screenshots in this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B24D4L ... p=drivesdk
I want to know if with this infos it is possible to make a unpacker/repacker for the WAD archives, to allow insert larger files than original?
It is that rebuild this archive using only the Hex editor is a pain.

I probably could have done so if I had just the solution(or experience) for it.

Hey anonbaiter, can you post here the GODOFWAR.TOC from european version? Please.
