Games developed by GameOver Games store their assets in GO files, I've mostly figured out the format but the files appear to be compressed. I would like to have this looked at. Here are samples from Arkanoid: The Virtual Isles: https://www77.zippyshare.com/v/O3Sdv034/file.html

Solved.

Code:

idstring "GaveOverGames' Resource File"
goto 0x26
get FILES long
goto 0x100
comtype zlib

for i = 0 < FILES
   get NAME_OFF long
   get ZERO long
   get NEXT_OFF long
   get SIZE long
   get ZSIZE long
   
   goto NAME_OFF
   get NAME string
   savepos OFFSET
   
   clog NAME OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
   goto NEXT_OFF
next i

Do you still have the same file?
I want to be sure that my original script http://aluigi.org/bms/gaveovergames.bms works on it.

Huh, I haven't noticed that script back then. It does work.

However, I have found an older version of this format and it appears to be using a different compression: https://www95.zippyshare.com/v/0IWuM8Yc/file.html
Could you identify the compression used here, please? It appears to be an LZW variant.

I have tried comtype scanner and didn't get any 100% matches. But based on what I got, it seems to be an LZW variant. Or maybe I need to use one of the algorithms in QuickBMS with custom parameters?

I'm very close... but no.
I have updated the script but I have no idea what specific settings it needs or if there is something else.
Some files are perfect, most are damaged.

Would it help if I provided the game's executable? This game is relatively simple so it should be possible to reverse it.

In theory yes but, honestly, I'm not that motivated to spend time on it since I still have 10 pages of topics on the forum to review
