[Post] Introduction to general game resource extraction tools (recommended)

Game resources include pictures, text, music, animation, and other data resources of the game. Although many game resources are open or compressed in common formats, many games have been packaged in special formats. If you want to obtain these resources, you can find dedicated resource extraction tools. But not all games have dedicated extraction tools. In this case, you can try to find some common game resource extraction tools. Generally, such a tool supports a large number of game file formats, and some tools also have a powerful function of analyzing unknown compression formats and extracting images, music, animation, and other resources. At the same time, The Write function provided by some tools can also make many players get twice the result with half the effort in making mod and Chinese games. A tool that can unpack hero invincible, FIFA, simulated city, sea commodity king, iron road magnate, need for speed, simulation life, tomb shadows, and many other game resources is definitely worth collecting.

Before introducing these tools, let's talk about games that use general zip compression resources. That is to say, you can use WinZip, WinRAR, and other software to open them directly. If any of the following items is missing, please add them.

5. Game archive unpacker

-- Game resource extraction tool, used for the plug-in of total Commander (similar to the Windows resource manager tool. You must first install total commander, which has a Chinese version online and is applicable to Windows XP/98. Installation is troublesome. In fact, it is the most convenient to use. As you know, the XP system introduces the zip compression folder function. Opening a zip file is like opening a normal folder, and you can directly perform various operations in the ZIP folder. It is more convenient than any compression software. The game archive unpacker plug-in also allows total commander to implement this function. Opening a game resource file is as simple as opening a normal folder. To extract resources, just copy the file as usual. This plug-in supports about 120 games. to query the supported game and file formats, see http://forrox.narod.ru/gaup_en.htm?supform.

* The preceding tools provide the function of scanning and analyzing unknown game File compression formats. But it is not omnipotent. It would be nice to have hundreds of thousands of games automatically analyzed. And sometimes only part of the file can be analyzed. Do not expect too much during use.

* Some tools can recognize the compression formats of the same series of game files. For example, multiex commander, game extractor, and Dragon unpacker all support the. CPR files of Port Royal ale (the Sea Merchant). They also support the. CPR files of Port Royal ale 2 that are not in the game list. However, magic extractor does not work. It supports Port Royal, but does not support Port Royal 2 (you can open resource files, but cannot fully identify them). Therefore, you should pay attention to the selection.

If you still know what general game resource extraction tools are available, please add them.
