unknown compression algorithm, in some files it's tagged as pkware explode but it's not correct.
only for informative reasons I post the script that DOESN'T WORK:

Code: Select all

comtype explode # WRONG compression!

set TMP long 0x7fffffff
get DUMMY long
for i = 0
    savepos TMP_OFF
    if TMP_OFF >= TMP
        break
    endif
    get OFFSET long
    putarray 0 i OFFSET
    if OFFSET < TMP
        math TMP = OFFSET
    endif
next i
math FILES = i

for i = 0 < FILES
    getarray OFFSET 0 i

    savepos TMP
    goto OFFSET
    get DUMMY long
    get ZSIZE long
    get SIZE long
    get DUMMY long
    savepos OFFSET
    goto TMP

    clog "" OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
next i

Try this: http://www.extractor.ru/ipb/index.php?showtopic=2030

Tried, but not so: to all files expansion is attributed .out
And it seems to me data change, as unpacker it is based on port source codes Free in the Dark on soundforge.

Therefore also has made this topic for the purpose of creation normal unpacker and has involved in it aluigi, which can make bms script for unpacking.

Now PAK files from Alone in the dark are supported in QuickBMS using "pak_explode" decompression algorithm
See the script:

It seems I can't reimport them with reimport.bat, it always writes an error to me. Any ideas?

EDIT: It says:

Error: Unsupported compression 176 in reimport mode

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
37 clog NAME OFFSET discSize uncompressedSize
