(Just a hint: this is Big-Endian)

I don't think it is encrypted, you can still find several plain strings in there, but file data is (for at least some of the files) indeed compressed.

Well it is indeed compressed, but can't figure out what compression it is. There are no indications.
An uncompressed version of the file might help.

I think, in the end only debugging the exe will give you usable results.

at least there's no zlib header.
you could try adding it and using a zlib tool to extract it.

In the scripts folder there is a scripts.zip. You may add files in there: <bms author="Trass3r" games="'Silent Hill'" platforms="'PC', 'PC'" ext="PAK"> GetDString magic 4 0; If magic <> "PAK_"; CleanExit; EndIf; Get Dummy Long 0; Get numFiles Long 0;...

This is a MultiEx Commander script to support this file type.
Think you can also use it with GameExtractor.

Found some time to further work on the translation of the game.
I also included the decrypted files, if you want to finish it.

IF you see this board as a place where you can make people do the things you want, you are wrong.
You can be very grateful if anybody here is able to figure something out.

And this is the word that makes the difference

Yeah, but where do you know that from? Did you just figure it out or is there a description of this encoding somewhere?
I mean, why would a developer use such a strange format, why not simply unicode?

What will happen if we do? Armageddon?
Kidding aside, sounds impolite

wtf
never seen such a strange encoding, what is this (the "intel format" as you call it)?

Just in case somebody is interested: struct Eintrag { uint null; // 0 uint uk2; // fest?! uint uk3; //if (uk2 == 0) // char name[uk3]; uint uk4; uint uk5; }; struct ukstrukt2 { uint index; uint ffff; uint uk1; uint uk2; }; struct String { uint length; char name[length]; }; struct Header { uint kopf1...

Well it's not that unsual. Sometimes games store the directory to their archives in another file, usually with the same name, but a different file extension.
