mindcore Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 This is a subject I have been researching for a while with no resolution (yet). I've run all kinds of hex editors, disassemblers and encryption crackers on the "packed" files, and I still have no idea what is going on there. I'm hoping to include a tool for batch unpacking/packing, if I can figure out a solution. So, I just want to ask: Does anyone know what algorithm is used to pack and unpack the files in the Emergency series? And, frankly, what one is used for the modifications? If anyone has any clues, suggestions, or ideas, I'd be very interested to hear them, as it would allow me to make a much better set of tools.

Stan Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi for the algorithm...good question, I guess that's a question for the developers. Only thing I found is that e4mod is not comparable to .zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plus is that Emergency 3 and later all use the same formats for files, so I could ask the developers of any of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
