Conflict: Global Storm (PC) *.dat

[mrmaller1905]

Can anyone write a file format specification for Conflict: Global Storm DATs?

The unpacker is already made by Ekey https://github.com/Ekey/CE.DAT.Tool

Here is file format specification for DAT archives:
 

// index
// for each file
   4 bytes (uint32) - filename hash
   4 bytes (uint32) - file offset
   4 bytes (uint32) - file size


// data
// for each file
   x bytes - file data

And here is my old script I've created for this format 4 years ago:

Can you update your QuickBMS script to map filenames and hashes I've logged?

No, sorry, "NameCRC" function from quickbms doesn't support custom hashes, so it seems to be not so trivial to code at the moment.
But you don't need to do anything, because "CE.DAT.Tool" can unpack all filenames from your sample file without any issues.

So just use the existing tool.

No! I want filename mapping to QuickBMS script. Do you have an idea what I can map filenames to QuickBMS script?

And what's the difference? What could you possibly gain by aquiring such mapping? Please explain.

Not sure if this will help you (because your demands seems unresonable to me), but I've rewritten the hashing code in Python.
You can use it if you want:
