WZ Dumper

[Xterminatorz]

I have released this on KryptoDev but since it's down I will release my latest version here. I think this is still one of the best WZ extractors out there.

When extracting images and sound files, there are now three options to choose from for handling links.

1. Symbolic - This is the recommended method, but requires the program to be ran as admin
2. Hard - Default method without running as admin. Uses Copy mode for files that have reached the link limit
3. Copy - Previous behavior, makes another copy of the file

Note that symbolic and hard links cannot be created when the output directory is on a remote drive. The link type will change to Copy automatically.



You must have the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 installed before using this program. If you don't have it, you can download it from here.

Changes in 1.9.4: (1/1/22)

Fixed extraction errors due to invalid path characters in In/Out links
Automatically set Link Type to 'Copy' if a test link could not be created at the destination
If a single output file has multiple links, only the last one will be used. The 'Copy' Link Type did this already, but the hard/symbolic links were not recreated if it was created before 
Changes in 1.9.3: (4/20/21)

Added support for '257' image format
Unparsable images will no longer cancel the dump 
Changes in 1.9.2: (3/23/20)

Fixed error that occurs when extracting mp3s from Sound.wz 
Changes in 1.9.1: (8/29/18)

Added a warning popup about creating links when extracting images and sound files to a network path 
Changes in 1.9: (8/27/18)

Changed UI to have you select file or folder before hand instead of prompting every time you want to dump
Replaced shortcut creators with symbolic and hard links
Fixed bug where sub-directories were being placed on the root directory
Added support for WZ file extensions (e.g. Map001.wz) 
Changes in 1.8: (12/9/17)

Resolve Inlink/Outlink values when dumping images
Added custom thread count for extraction (limited to number of available threads on your CPU)
Added functionality to create a shortcut for UOL, Inlink, and Outlink properties instead of dumping the same image again (with major drawbacks)
Fixed UOL resolution problems
Fixed errors during extraction when a invalid path/file character were used (now replaced with an underscore)
All leading/trailing white spaces on all property names and values are now trimmed 
Changes in 1.7.1: (1/24/16)

Fixed extraction issues on v1.69+ WZ files
You can no longer specify file version manually
Now checks the selected encryption with the WZ file before extraction to avoid dumping garbled text
Fixed other minor bugs 
Changes in 1.7: (12/6/14)

Fixed parsing problems that occurs with recent WZ files
Multi-threading is now an option instead of by default. Probably best used if WZ files are on a different drive than the one being extracted to although I can't guarantee any speed benefits for everyone. (Only used for dumping all WZ files in a folder) 
Changes in 1.6.9: (8/27/10)

More code improvements
Dumping multiple files should be slightly faster 
Changes in 1.6.8: (8/21/10)

Reverted changes from 1.6.7
Requires the Microsoft .NET 4 Framework
Dumps multiple WZ files at once when using the "Dump All WZ Files From Folder" button
Dumping multiple WZ files will automatically name the folders (No more folder already exists message)
Fixed file naming when dumping PNGs/MP3s from UOL properties
Many other code improvements

You will need at least the .NET 2.0 Framework to run this. If you don't have it, you can download it from Download details: .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2.

Feel free to leave your comments and feedback.

1st post!
nice thanks, still need to think of what to use this for lol xD

[Buya]

Nope. Now you'll eat your pasta dry.

Well since theres no way to get it otherwise I downloaded a copy before a mod goes and deletes this

I don't see why they would delete this. There's nothing against the rules happening. Extracting XML from the WZ files isn't illegal either, if it's for personal use.

I thought talking about wz stuff wasn't aloud. .___." (confused)

[mertjuh]

There's not wrong talking about wz, wz editting is not allowed

This is not talking about Wz files. This is talking about XML extraction. You get XML files from extracting them out of the WZ files. You are not altering/editing/adding to or taking away from the data in any form because the data remains intact. It merely takes what is there, and makes a copy of it in XML form.

not for Msea...

Like always, thanks for the amazing work :)

[Cappe]

There's a thanks button ;)

[Samus.]

Nicely done.

I'm not sure if people still use this program anymore, but I randomly decided to update it for whoever still does. It allows you to extract recent versions of the GMS WZ files.
