The encryption method for the filenames is as follows: // Alpha Prime *.RES - Filename Encryption // Demystified by M.W.Zuurman (Mr.Mouse/Xentax) // // General idea: // // 1. The encryption XORs the characters in the strings with a seed value // 2. The seed value is the ascii-code of a letter picked...

ok, here's a list of the files in the dat02.res, I wrote a little lister to test the decryption method. Decrypt RES: d:\data\tools\data02.res SCRIPTS/ SCRIPTS/animset.h SCRIPTS/class_creature/ SCRIPTS/class_creature/ai.h SCRIPTS/class_creature/ai2.h SCRIPTS/class_creature/boss.h SCRIPTS/class_creatu...

No, I looked at the executable.

LOL I figured it out, it's a funny encryption method. Let me get back to you later with a RES->NORMAL ZIP converter. I must be insane to do this type of riddles.

Nice going Assasin!

Wow Star Control is very nice yes.

As for MOO, MOO2 is definitely the best of the three.

I don't know if this is indeed a XOR method. This could also be a table encryption (at least for the filenames that is). Just look a the filenames, it might be they have a table for each valid character in a filename and use that to encrypt it.

Basically I need support for these files to be added to MultiEX Commander. Help! Please! :) (i would have attached an example .pak file, but the 'Add an Attachment' feature won't allow .pak files) Don't they all. :P Anyway, like DarkFox said, why not zip it? Alternatively, if the file is too big, t...

Ok, we are now "friends". I ran your script and extracted the frames. Not much more that I can do with it. All the wikis above talk about video. How is the audio encoded? I need the audio that may be contained within the VP6 file. Hiya, Friend :D Well, is it contained in there? if have not found an...

You have mail.

Well, I can set you up for some space at the Xentax repository and you can upload tools as you see fit. Just let me know! People can either download the needed environment or take a look at the source and replicate it. It's always good to have such tools documented IMHO, could save some people from ...

Ahhhh, just let me take the time to look at this. It's what I doubted. I doubted my suggestion would work, but thought: let's see.

I will still have to see.

if you create tools, why not share them with the community ?
We could host them for you, if you'd like.

Okay, good, now I got the file.
