Script for extracting the files from the *.win archives created with the GameMaker Studio framework of YoYo Games:
https://www.yoyogames.com/studio

The structure is the IFF one, so a sequence of chunks containing name of the chunk and size.
I have supported the most interesting chunks, the others of the archives I analyzed didn't contain much stuff.

Hey is was looking at the script and I figured out how to extract the strings and I was wondering is it possible to make it so all strings are in one file instead of making a ton of short single string files?

It's a good idea.
When quickbms 0.6.5 will be released, I will update the script for using the new SLog command that allows also to reimport the strings.

Can you provide an example of archive containing strings?
I found a sample but all the extracted files are binary and not strings.

So I need a sample and the name of the folder (the chunk name).

Here it is. https://www.sendspace.com/file/m6y1ui
data.win file.

Basically that part of the file wasn't extracted because the script didn't dump some chunk types.
I have updated the script to version 0.1.1 and now it:
- dumps all the chunks that are not parsed
- uses the new SLog command to export the strings of the STRG chunk

I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Little note: There is also the possibility of dumping the fields of some chunks like SOND, BGND and SCPT but I'm not sure if it's good to do it (they are small information of 8 or 0x24 bytes) and in any case you can do that by setting GENERIC_DUMP_FIXED_SIZE_ENABLED to 1.

Uhm.. but where did you upload it? It seems that it was not updated.

It works perfectly fine!

Awesome thanks for this script!

Is there a way there can be done more with this than just viewing the sprites and watching some binary code?

• Go here: http://quickbms.aluigi.org
• Download quickbms
• Click on quickbms.exe
• Select the yoyogames.bms script
• Select data.win
• Select the folder where you want to extract the files
• That's all

Hello, I was wondering if there was any way to recompile the files back into GameMaker: Studio. I'm looking to mod a game, and I currently have the game files extracted (thank you for your tool, by the way), I'm just not sure how I can recompile them to view and edit them.

MasterMinya, posted Sun Aug 23, 2015 12:36 am (6902)

I believe you can reimport using "reimport.bat" located in the quickbms folder.

Yes, I've done that; I'm referring to actually opening up the game itself in GameMaker: Studio, that way I can modify and add what I please into the game.

Getting an error with the decompiler, anyone have any ideas?

The decompiler ran fine, but recompiling threw an error, and using a hex editor to open several of the output .dat files reveals they only contain:
00 00 00 00

In case it's relevant, the output files in question are called
00000005.dat
00000003.dat

Several others are completely empty:
00000064.dat
00000000.dat

Interestingly enough, some seem to have decompiled correctly, in that they're multiple kb and full of data:
00000059.dat
0000008f.dat

There's a bunch of other files that I didn't look at, but that should explain the problem enough.

Obviously, something is (probably) wrong. Am I running the decompile script wrong somehow?

(Stupid question, but this is for GMS, right? How can I check which version the .exe is from? Pretty sure it's GMS because all the textures are stitched, but I could be wrong. And would wrong version cause these issues?)

Tried deleting some of the offending files and get a different error, spammed once for each file it tried to import.

The 0x00000008 was always the same, but the second number moved around a lot.

Code:

  offset   filesize   filename
--------------------------------------
- SCRIPT's MESSAGE:
  CHUNK  0x00000008 0x000009cc

- SCRIPT's MESSAGE:
  Chunk  not supported


- 0 files reimported in 0 seconds
  coverage file 0    11%   8          72
- open input file 
- open script yoyogames.bms
- set output folder 

Sorry this is so long, Wish I could spoiler it

It doesn't seem to want to attach the .win file, as it's almost 200 MB. Even with 7zip, I couldn't get it under 130. (lots of textures). Should I upload it elsewhere (If so, where)?

Also, tried just reinjecting single filetypes, and when I tried this for the textures, it says

Code:

- SCRIPT's MESSAGE:
  CHUNK ePNG 0x00000008 0x0a1a0a0d

- SCRIPT's MESSAGE:
  Chunk ePNG not supported

And the non-empty .dat files use "" as the chunk type.
Don't know if this means anything, but I thought I'd mention it.

You can use sendspace or mediafire or mega or dropbox and so on

Sorry for the rather massive bump, but i've been having a lot of trouble with this script.

It seems that it extracts everything fine at first, but then it seems extracted sprites have no extension and are not recognised by any image editing programs. I'm not sure what could be causing this issue. Any help?

In this case we need to know:
are you using the latest version of quickbms? 0.6.7a
are you using the latest script? 0.1.1
can you provide this data.win or the name of the game so we can check it?
I don't remember if what you see it's normal or not but I think the archive contains common formats as png and not custom/raw formats

I am using the latest version of quickBMS and the script, I don't think sending the data.win would help because it does this with any game I try, including ones i've made myself.

Hey, I'm having trouble reimporting a .win file. You see, I'm trying to make a translation for xxxxxxxxx to spanish as it doesn't have one, but everytime I reimport the CMD throws an error at the end of every file that says "your string is longer than the original of X bytes!!! Re-importing done" (this even happens with strings I haven't even edited yet!). After it completely re-imported, I try opening the game and it shows the following error:
"___________________________________________
Error on load
Unable to find function You recovered"

How can I fix this?

If you need any files just tell me which files and I'll send them over.
