Hi again,

I got your email - I will take a look at the file. I don't think I will be downloading the demo though - its just too big for a 56k dialup modem

I think the h2o format is a generic archive structure used by a company called Liquid Entertainment or something. I thought it was used for installer packages, not for the actual game. Here is the structure that I have come across before... +---------------------+ | Battle Realms *.h2o | +----------...

Well, if you have a hex editor, you can cut the first and last 500kb of the file and send those pieces to us, or try to upload the file to a web server somewhere. 26MB is a little too big to send via my email

Hmm OK, well maybe there are other formats that I am not aware of. I don't have the game, but a few people have sent me files from it and they have worked OK. I will take a look and see if there is anything obvious that is going wrong, otherwise I will need to look at some of the non-working archive...

FarCry does have some ZIP-based archives, but not all of them. FarCry also has their own archive format. So I can confirm that entry in his list.

Well, the archive you attached had compressed files in it - and *most* of the Madden 2005 archives do use compressed files, which is really bad for us. What is worse is that the compression is custom, thus we cannot determine how to get back to the original file, unless someone knows how to hack apa...

OK, there are 3 formats that I have identified. Two of the formats are the same as Madden 2004, and there is one new one. The main difference between them is that some have compression directories, and each uses different padding sizes. +--------------------------------------------------+ | Madden 2...

OK, I will have to look at that - it is probably an error that slipped in there accidentally.

Hi again,

If you can't put the last-part of the archive on these forums, can you please email it to us? I am at watto@watto.org and Mr Mouse is at

Thanks mate.

Hey sorry. I downloaded the file yesterday but havn't had the time to look at it yet - just spent the last 5 hours digging holes in the backyard :(. I will take a look at it as soon as I can - I don't think it is too different from Madden 2004 though. Oh, and no, EA Games are not off limits - just u...

Yes, in some files they use WAV audio, which I can put the *.wav at the end of the filename, but I want to take a bit of a look into the format more anyway because surely there is a way to distinguish the type of files in the archive, even if it is just 1 format per archive.

Yeah, I have a copy of that demo - its just a zip file with a different extension. Just a standard PKzip archive

Hi mate,

The Unreal game engine does not have file types, does it? I will look in to it anyway, I would like to add more support for unreal formats soon.

Thank you for letting me know that it worked. Good luck with it.

OK, i will need to look into the autoupdater bug. In the meantime, try this... 1. Put the attachment ZIP in the updates directory 2. Run the UpdateInstaller (not the update tool in Game Extractor!) Or this, if the above did not work... 1. Unzip the attachment to your computer 2. Open the GameExtract...
