Another program of extract and repack of the .UDAS .DAT .MAP files
Note: the topic is being translated by google translator, because I only know Portuguese Brazil.
Program intended for extracting and repackaging dat/udas/map files from RE4 for the PC (ubisoft/steam) and PS2 versions.
I created this program as an alternative to other programs that have the same proposal.
DATUDAS_EXTRACT
Destined to extract the dat/udas/map files, the program will create a folder with the name of the file, which will contain the extracted files (without the existence of subfolders), and will also generate two files: ".idxJ" (which is a program's own format) and ".idx" (which is the same as the version of "Son of Persia" and "MarioKartN64").
To recompile the file, only one of the .idx* files will be used.
DATUDAS_REPACK
Destined to reconstruct the dat/udas/map files, it accepts as input the files ".idx" or ".idxj", you only need 1 of the two, see the file specifications below.
.idxJ file
Explanation of the file, I will use the file "r100.udas" as an example as a reference, when extracting it will generate the file "r100.idxJ" (and the file "r100.idx" which will be explained below) a folder with the name " r100" which will have the extracted files in it (no subfolders).
idxJ content
Note: Content with // is informational and does not exist in the original file
Note2: to make comments in the file use the character colon ":"
.idx file
Read the explanation above.
The explanation of this file is defined, as it is understood by my program and not as it was originally thought by "Son of Persia" and "MarioKartN64".
idx content
Note: Content with // is informational and does not exist in the original file
Comparison to other Programs
* I created the program because of some problems with the "MarioKartN64" version:
* His version creates two folders (the main one and a subfolder), and my version creates just one folder.
* When repackaging the Udas file, the .idx file is not considered, but all the files that are in the subfolder are placed, and my version follows what is in the .idx file
* My version does NOT create a backup, unlike the "MarioKartN64" version.
* The file he named "DAS" is named SND, just like the "Son of Persia" version.
* Added compatibility with Dat and Map files, basically inside udas there is a Dat file, and the Map file is a dat file with another extension.
