[Request] Some help on *.xp files (9Dragons MMORPG)
Posted: Fri Oct 15, 2010 7:56 pm
Hi,
My first post on this forum, which looks very nice so far! (mature rules, pointing towards helping ppl out etc. etc.)
I found this forum by reading (the very well written) guide/tut/info "Definitive guide to exploring file formats ZW 2009". I came till page 32 of it (and am not lost yet
) but I realized that what I intended to find out, goes beyond my current capability's. So I hope some of you can help me out here.
What I'd like find out:
I've played Maplestory for a while (discussed here too). Its always crowded with skilled crackers there, who at some point released a '*.wz editor' (*.wz is the archive name of the files maple uses). One could alter the files - and get a huge benefit from it, so Im wondering whether that would be possible too for 9Dragons. It's a material art based MMORPG made by Indy21, hosted by Acclaim till late summer this year and now in hands of GamersFirst.
It's Asian - thus what I found out so far with HexWorkshop 6 was, that when put into 'unicode' Chineze characters appeared. And I can't tell, but I think it's a rather simple file..
The question I got is:
Would it be possible to view the game files like one could with HaRepacker/deMSwz (decrypt-thing's, who showd you the actual names/files and would let you edit them) in maple - and make changes? And how to do so/what programs to use.
The game comes in the DATA\TEXTURE folder with two types of files: one is *.XRS a smaller one and a bigger one *.XP (I think comparable with the .cue and .bin files of Dvd's)
I have no clue how complex it is to make such a thing like HaRepacker, or deMSwz for a certain file, so just tell me if it's not gonna happen!
Sadly filecutter doesn't work for me (giving error 339 - and coming in 2 versions: one from forum-rules with 2 files total size 51kB and one from tool's with 4 files, total size 23X kB) but i've included an sample of the two file types (18mb doable at 30kbps/up).
Direct game - Download link:
The game itself can be downloaded with the 'Gamersfirst Live!' app (some sort of p2p I guess- pando media booster is involved) but its freely available here
Samples:
The TR_INTERFACE.XP file (18mb)
The INTERFACE.XRS file
PS:
I hope this is as complete & after the rules as possible!
Also - on a side note, there are more people who would love something like this
Edit*: Lay-out
