I was wondering; Could somebody make a .WAD extractor and repacker? They contain animations used by the game characters. If one could extract these, the animations could be more easily replaced (they can be replaced with a hex editor such as HxD, but it is tedious). Thanks!

I don't know if it works also with the other WAD archives because the offset may change:

Code:

math OFFSET = 0x1f58
for
    goto OFFSET
    get DUMMY long
    getdstring NAME 0x18
    get SIZE long
    savepos OFFSET
    log NAME OFFSET SIZE
    math OFFSET   SIZE
next

It worked for the most part, but it won't reimport (or extract all of the files, it seems). To be specific it gave this exact error when trying to reimport:

incomplete input file 0: C:\Users\Me\Documents\PS2 Games\scareflr.wad
Can't read 4 bytes from offset 3fa1d3f9.

When extracting the file, it will give this error:

Can't read 4 bytes from offset 00510547

I tested it on the other .WAD files, and it seems to work.

Don't worry for the error in scareflr.wad, I didn't add a way to check the end of the archive.

Oh, ok. But, how would the reimporting work? Or is this script not valid for it?

The reimport must work for sure, the script is valid and simple.

It works perfect now.
