I have this file with this type of code if I'm not mistaken!

Would a turorial or help for me decipher this file and leave it normal readable?

What game is "toonline"?
They don't seem archives, there is a string at the beginning starting with "GameResTable"

But how can they be readable?

Please stop bumping.
You have not answered my first question yet: what's the full name of this game?

I have these files that can help.
There are two that are the same!
Effect.csv and Effect.dat
it may be that with them you can help me decipher what kind of encryption it uses!

There is nothing encrypted or archived.
It's a resource format which means that extracting something intelligible is very difficult.
You may have better luck using just a hex editor.

Hello,
I have successfully unpacked the .evp compressed file format from Talisman Online / Shumenol / Weapons of war.
Most of the files are fully readable but there are few .csv files converted to .dat, I have added an example file to an attachment.
I've tried decoding them with xortool without any success.
Could you please check out the file, I'm willing to provide money to help develop a tool for decoding it.
Kind regards and thank you!

@rikolino
The format is not encrypted but it's a sort of "compiled" (binary) list of elements.
In the zip at the beginning of the topic there is an effect.csv which is useful to understand that only information (of different type) are stored in these dat files, but there is no explanation about where that csv has been found or generated.

I'm sure that you don't want just to "read" these information in an human format, probably you want to edit and put them back too.
That means you not only need a dat->csv converter but also a csv->dat compiler: double work.

As already said in one of my previous posts I highly suggest to use a hex editor for doing both the reading and editing work by hand.
It's not complex if you know what you want to search and modify, in fact all the strings are easily visible while the most annoying part are the other types like the numbers if you have no experience with hex editing.
Anyway try to take a look at it.

Example (note that the provided effect.csv and effect.dat are NOT the same, but at least it's a starting point):
csv:

Code:

10235,????(??????)????,10235,1,,,1,1,,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,1,,,,,,,,AddHpReg(EffParam1),,,,10*24*3600*1000,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ic_pet063,,1,0,

dat (offset 0x70319):

Code:

For example 10*24*3600*1000 is 0x337f9800 which is there, 10235 is there too (twice), the strings are there too and so on.

I believe that it is a key header input files. which stores data inside them with the same information as the .csv files. but until now I have not had success in decodificalos
