Allods 1.1 Unpacker

[Paulus]

Hi there,

I'm currently working on a 1.1 pack.bin unpacker. I've succeeded in loading the database from pack.bin in memory that give far much easier bin stream to decode (strings are readable, value in memory fits the xdb values, ect ... ).

An example of an animation memory chunk

Same chunk parsed
I've started parsing these memory chunks to recreate corresponding classes (I think I'll do it in c# as I don't really master c++) but every help is welcome to parse new types faster. If you're interested in helping, feel free to contact me.

The goal of the project is to create an open source unpacker that can extract all client missing files to actually repack a 1.1 pack.bin so it would be great if some people can help :

Good luck!

Some news from the project !

- The unpacker is now working properly and can extract the pack.bin client files, it doesn't unpack files that are already available server side. There is still some work to do on it because there are still errors in extracted files and some part are still not extracted.

- The official editor tools are working. It includes bunch of tools like UIEditor, MapEditor, ModelViewer, XDBEditor ...

You must be registered to see links

- The repacker is correctly working and bin files are loaded by the official client, however as the extracted files are still not 100% exact there are still some bugs in game but it's still promising

And here some current in game screenshots :

I will probably soon need some testers and help on the project, if you are interested contact me on discord Paulus#0950 (don't send me private messages here, I'm not that often logged in) !

RU:
Чтобы исправить ошибку с интерфейсом, дам подсказку, в некоторых файлах стороковые значения записаны как wstring, а не просто string, но это только в исключительных случаях.
Eng:
To fix the error with the interface, I’ll give a hint, in some files the string values are written as wstring, and not just string, but this is only in exceptional cases.

What is any news?

I've not that much time these days, I have a bug with terrains to fix and it will be playable (with still some bugs to fix)

Terrains are now visible still an error with lightmaps and foliage textures are still missing. Gameplay is 100% functionnal.

A short list of things that are still not working properly:
- Terrain lightmaps
- Foliage texture
- Group interface
- Target/self plates
- Static objects lighting/shadowing
- Ship interior texture

Not tested yet:
- Astral
