These utilities, originally created by hhrhhr, can be used to unpack the DATA.PAK files for Rebel Galaxy Outlaw,
and as well to convert the extracted files into human-readable LUA files, which can then be converted back into a .PAK file
to be used a mod for the game.
- At least Lua 5.3 (http://www.lua.org/download.html)
- lua-zlib (https://github.com/brimworks/lua-zlib)
- lua-lfs (https://github.com/keplerproject/luafilesystem)
A package containing all of these files can be found here: https://github.com/sp00n/rgo-lua-pack
I've created a couple of useful batch files that help with extracting & creating mod files:
https://github.com/sp00n/rgo-mod-helpers
Usage:
lua unpack.lua <INPUT.PAK> [OUTPUT_DIR [FILTER]]
List the content of a .PAK file:
lua unpack.lua DATA.PAK
Unpack all files to the .\work directory:
lua unpack.lua DATA.PAK .\work
Unpack only a specific file type:
lua unpack.lua DATA.PAK .\work 13
Filters:
1 - MESH/MDL 2 - SKELETON 3 - DDS 4 - PNG/TGA/BMP
6 - OGG/WAV 9 - MATERIAL 10 - RAW 12 - IMAGESET
13 - TTF 15 - DAT 16 - LAYOUT 17 - ANIMATION
24 - PROGRAM 25 - FONTDEF 26 - COMPOSITOR 27 - FRAG/FX/HLSL/VERT
29 - PU 30 - ANNO 31 - SBIN 32 - WDAT
Usage:
lua pack.lua <INPUT_DIR> [OUTPUT_NAME]
Pack the content of the .\import directory into .\DATA7.PAK (default name):
lua pack.lua .\import
Pack the content of the .\import directory into .\out\DATA8.PAK (specific name):
lua pack.lua .\import .\out\DATA8.PAK
*.DAT, *.IMAGESET, *.ANIMATION and *.WDAT can be converted.
Usage:
lua dat2lua.lua <INPUT.DAT> [OUTPUT.lua]
lua lua2dat.lua <INPUT.lua> [OUTPUT.DAT]
List the content:
lua dat2lua.lua .\work\MEDIA\15_GLOBALS.DAT
Convert the content of a .DAT file to a specific .lua file:
lua dat2lua.lua .\work\MEDIA\15_GLOBALS.DAT .\work\MEDIA\15_GLOBALS.DAT.lua
Convert the content of a .lua file to the default OUT.DAT file in the current directory:
lua lua2dat.lua .\work\MEDIA\15_GLOBALS.DAT.lua
Convert the content of a .lua file to a specific .DAT file:
lua lua2dat.lua .\work\MEDIA\15_GLOBALS.DAT.lua .\import\MEDIA\15_GLOBALS.DAT
Handles only *.LAYOUT files.
Usage:
lua layout2lua.lua <INPUT.LAYOUT>
lua lua2layout.lua <INPUT.lua> <OUTPUT.LAYOUT>
Convert a .LAYOUT file to a .lua file (no output file necessary!):
lua layout2lua.lua .\work\MEDIA\16_DERPTEST.LAYOUT
Convert a .lua file back into a .LAYOUT file (an output file *is* necessary!):
lua lua2layout.lua .\work\MEDIA\16_DERPTEST.LAYOUT.lua .\import\MEDIA\16_DERPTEST.LAYOUT
