heath the unchosen path 2001 - .paxx.nrm unpack

[UZ.-]

Hello everyone, does anyone have experience with or know of a QuickBMS script for files with the .paxx extension? I’m able to view the internal files using Dragon UnPACKer, but they are extracted in a corrupted state.

I would greatly appreciate any help in advance.

Try the attached QuickBMS script. From what I can see though, the resulting files have added strange structures starting with 0x69 everywhere, so the files are not really readable as-is.

Hello @jmancoder, thank you very much for the script—it worked perfectly. However, the extracted images in BMP format still cannot be viewed. I tried changing their file extension, but I didn’t have any success. :C
If you know anything else, please let me know. Thank you!

After disassembling the game executable, it looks like it is just a basic RLE algorithm. I've attached a Python script that can properly decompress the .paxx.nrm files. Just pass in a path to the game folder and a path to an output folder as command line arguments. Note that it may take a minute or two to decompress everything.
