Hi
I'm looking someone who could make simple Tool to have ability to extract and replace files.
Magic numbers 56 46 - VF.
I uploaded smaller archive which contains menu files: background etc because archive with game assets is 356MB.
Thanks for any help.

Game extractor can be used to extract files.
If you want to replace them, you can also use offzip https://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm#offzip


There is also specification for this file format on the wiki

Thanks for reply.
I know that Game Extractor can extract files, but they are "Unnamed File XXX". I know that file names are in .VOL.

How can I replace file in offzip? Example?

You have some examples in the tool usage information. You should use "-r" option for that.

Code: Select all

Quick examples:
  scan zlib        offzip -S input.dat
  scan offset      offzip -S input.dat 0 0x12345678
  cool scan zlib   offzip -S -x -Q input.dat
  extract zlib     offzip -a input.dat c:\output
  extract deflate  offzip -a -z -15 -Q input.dat c:\output
  reimport zlib    offzip -a -r file.dat c:\input
I know that file names are in .VOL.
According to the file format specification there are no filenames.

I have this Tool which was made by alcexhim (thanks for that) but only extract option is supported.

In archive there are: tool and txt file which contains old source of VOL and probably newer source of VOL format (under - symbols). Btw if someone will be able to compile for windows new app (I mean full app from github from txt file), could post here. I tried in visual studio and I had 100+ errors. ;/ I don't have skills to write own app.

Thanks
