blog/ As a forum member you have author rights at the Tools Blog. It would be appreciated if you post the tool there !

I have another tool I created yesterday/today to upload but it is giving me a Upload empty on the forum and IO error on the blog. There's something wrong with PHP/MySQL permissions.

What kind of file is it ? Excellent that you uploaded the other tool at the blog!

Uploading worked today and both are on the blog. You can delete this thread if you want.

what are in these archives? any model format that is known?

HPK Archiver by FordGT90Concept v1.0.12

Version History

1.0.12: Fixed 1333 out of 1334 errors in Tropico 4: Modern Times' Expansion.hpk
1.0.11: Writes data to output that doesn't inflate (fix for DLC).
1.0.10: Separated Tropico 5 game option which disables "Compress It" when checked because the game doesn't support it.
1.0.9: Lots of minor tweaks in the code.
1.0.8: Cleaned up file system code (part of FragmentedFile now) and renamed a lot of variables to more accurately reflect what it represents.
1.0.7: Catches some files that lie about being compressed and dumps the headerless contents.
1.0.6: No longer creates a temporary file for fragmented files and handles all files as fragmented files.
1.0.5: Removed a temp file and cleaned up code relating to all of the temp files (three of them now).
1.0.4: Now handles fragmented files properly.
1.0.3: Tons of bug fixes including the ability to decompress/extract challenges and ShaderCache.hpk.
1.0.2: No longer crashes if the output directory doesn't exist. It will simply create it.
1.0.1: Added bug fixes for abnormal files in Game.hpk.
1.0.0: Fixed a bug with the time stamps when archiving and also added support for Tropico 4 (experimental).
Beta 7: Fixed a bug in the archival code.
Beta 6: Archive feature is now functional, it automatically saves/loads settings, and many other tweaks.
Beta 5: Overhauled the GUI. It now shows statistics about the file and how far along it is while extracting.
Beta 4: It applies the "_filedates" to the files (modified date) and deletes the _filedates file because it is now irrelevant. Made the Zip decompression algorithm more efficient (one output stream per file).
Beta 3: Added Unix support for use on Mono.
Beta 2: Extracts all files successfully via C#ZipLib.
Beta 1: Erred on some files during extracting using zlib.
