Everything is contained in these files, also textures and some kind of configuration files it seems. http://ul.to/cybcyr Strangefully I don't find any 3D models. Edit: These seem to be the ones. http://ul.to/h7mgxk Edit2: Can't figure out any structure, sometimes it matches sometimes not. Seems like...

btw, 16 is the compressed data offset.

Very simple format, just a short header followed by zlib compressed data.
Just use offzip: http://aluigi.org/mytoolz/offzip.zip

Those files seem to be containers themselves.
They may contain vox audio data, movie subtitles, ..., even shader data.

The original topic is this one about the audio format: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3530

Since these files seem to be containers themselves I opened a new topic here.
They may contain vox audio data, movie subtitles, ..., even shader data.

Don't ever care. Most normal formats are in little endian while most console formats are in big endian.

I just remembered, I also tried to create a tutorial some time ago, in fact a video tutorial, but I couldn't finish it.
Maybe this is some inspiration or whatever

I was refering to the paper ("Data compression via textual substitution")

Oh yeah I forgot that one.
There the bit is saved immediately followed by the data. This is the original LZSS.
Grouping 8 (16) bits together to ease reading and writing is more common though.

Oh I meant the number of bits used for encoding.

Settlers 2 games use custom LZSS, think it was N=10,F=4,T=3 (which is totally senseless, since it wastes 2 bits) You can not only change those parameters. Sometimes the bit semantic is changed (0 representing a literal byte) and offset/length encoding differs. Furthermore how the sliding window is i...

Not really, I'd prefer djvu (http://djvu.sourceforge.net/), but unfortunately it's not really well supported

Unfortunately most people use a custom LZSS with some parameters changed, this might be the cause that it doesn't fully work. EDIT: Indeed this is a quite strange encoding. EDIT2: This drives me round the bend, I can't recognize anything. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/7625/screenieand.jpg Obvious...

or try a batch like (replaces the files)

As I already commented, you could polish its look a bit, e.g. a neat little pdf
