I have a script that I started on, if anyone can help me with it, its for the game archive that I wrote about a while back, but there is a new version of this now, it is over 350 MB in size now.

It's MoleBox 2.x package. Here steps for unpack:

1) Download MoleBox Unpacker here
2) Create BAT file and add args like this

Code:
molebox2ext -o "E:\Downloads\Sonic World RELEASE 5\GameArchive.swarc" "E:\Downloads\Sonic World RELEASE 5\Unpacked" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

where XXXXXXXXXXXXXX it's key (i found only for 5 and 6 release's):

RELEASE 5 - 994A0F6FF83805E4780AD1E2A640EF69
RELEASE 6 - 3DC67C130404F0FAAFD06BE86568F090

Save, Close, Run => Profit.

I'm confused about the letter E in the code, is that the drive letter, mine is C and I have my copy of the game in C\Documents\Sonic World RELEASE 6.

Of course you need to specify your path's for archive and output directory.

Code:
molebox2ext -o "YOUR ARCHIVE PATH" "YOUR OUTPUT DIRECTORY PATH" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I ran the batch file with the path correct and all, but all I get is a split second cmd window and nothing else.

I may need to send the file to you, for some reason when I run the batch file it just opens for a second then closes.

I did that, but same thing, does the .bat file need a specific name?

I'm uploading the file, sorry to be a bother but all I see is the code for the batch file for a split second and not the files being unpacked.

Also if output path does not exist you need create it manualy because tool does not create it automatically.

Here is the link to the game archive, I keep getting some sort of error message as well as the quick close when I run the batch file, I have everything correct, including the external path for the folders.https://www.mediafire.com/?q3j2tqry9ii7jj8 I am using Release 6 of the game, If you can send back the file opened I would appreciate it.

@Ekey
Excellent job finding that the game uses Molexbox 2.
I'm really super-happy to know that my old tool (01 Dec 2008!!!) is still useful and works great :D

@atkins80
I have tried molebox2ext.exe with the last file you provided (the one on mediafire because the first one on mega uses a different key) and it works correctly.
If you need a 1-minute lesson on how to use this tool from scratch, try this:
  • launch the command-line: Start -> Run -> type cmd
  • drag molebox2ext.exe on the console and press space
  • drag the swarc file on the console and press space
  • drag output folder on the console and press space
  • copy & paste the key 3DC67C130404F0FAAFD06BE86568F090 on the console
  • press RETURN
  • you will see the tool running and displaying lot of information like you usually see with quickbms

I opened CMD and dragged the molebox onto desktop and pressed space along with the archive and output folder and I copied and pasted the key into the cmd window, but nothing happened, it just said unknown command, and it also said invalid argument, don't know why its doing that.

Same thing is still happening, I created the Unpacked folder in the Sonic World Release 6 directory, is there a possibility of sending the decompressed files to me?
