Hey mate,

Excellent work on the extractor for that game - I would be keen to see it.

I didn't get the email :( I do have a demo of this game though, and here is the structure... +------------------+ | Act Of War *.dat | +------------------+ // NOTES: // The files are stored in a special way so as to reduce the amount of space // needed to store the filenames. It does this by groupin...

Actually, I don't think I got the email either - I was getting mixed up with another game archive I was sent - sorry about that. We won't be able to go any further until we get the last part of the archive.

Hmm, this is what I have so far... +--------------------+ | Second Sight *.pak | +--------------------+ // NOTE: The files in the directory *may be* in a different order to the files in the archive // eg. File1 in the directory may be File622 in the archive 4 - Header (P4CK) 4 - Unknown (Archive Siz...

Firstly, the files *.001 have the same format as the other *.hvp files Secondly, I was right, the files are compressed, using ZLib. Thord, I was reading the numbers the wrong way around :( - when I read the the correct way they all make a lot more sence... +---------------------+ | Obscure *.hvp *.0...

OK, the format is something like this... +---------------+ | Obscure *.hvp | +---------------+ // This whole archive looks to be encrypted/compressed or something, as // there is a lack of null bytes. 11 - Header (HV PackFile) 2 - null 2 - Unknown (3) 4 - Unknown (1) 2 - Unknown (1) 1 - null 4 - Unk...

Hmm OK, thanks for finding some examples - I will take a look-see at my code and try to find out why it is working as it is. Thanks mate!

OK, here is some feedback... - Splinter Cell (including expansions) This game ( and all Tom Clancy Games? ) are based on the Unreal gaming engine - therefore a special plugin would need to be made in order to support this format. I believe that Mr Mouse *may* be making a plugin for the Unreal engine...

I will have to take a look at the problem and see what I can do to fix it. When you posted that message, I didn't realise that you were implying errors in my plugin - i guess it was just too subtle . Thanks anyway mate.

Can you give us a small archive file from the game to look at?

Thanks.

I have taken a look at it - it is a bit of a tricky structure but I have almost got it. We *should* be able to add support for this game soon.

Hi,

If you can supply us with a small archive from the Midnight Club game, we will be able to look at it and hopefully add some support.

OK, you can give this plugin a go if you want - can't guarentee it will work though. Do the following... 1. go to the Game Extractor directory 2. Make a directory called "plugins" 3. Unzip the file into the plugins/ directory 4. Restart Game Extractor. Good luck. WATTO watto@watto.org http...

I did get the email, I will be looking at it soon. Sorry to everyone for the delays recently, I have just had heaps of unexpected things come up recently that have consumed all my free time.
