[Release] Alternative HFS extractor
This is an alternative HFS extractor.
What distinguishes this from VZipFlip, it is that this one is designed to extract the whole HFS folder preserving game paths, which is the main point behind the program.
Usage is simple. You select the vindictus "hfs" folder in one of the text fields, and the output folder (you probably want to select an empty newly created folder there) in the other text field, and press extract.
The program is slow because it has to do a first pass to "crack" the paths. This is because of the exotic way in which paths are stored in vindicuts, with a SHA1 involved -hfs file name is sha1 of the encoded path they belong-, which is an irreversible operation (you can translate path to sha1, but not sha1 to path, except by cracking).
It will fail to find the paths of around 5 hfs files (in 1.65 and also in latest NA/EU/AU official client). Those will be stored in a folder called "PATH_NOT_FOUND".
This thing is designed only to extract the whole hfs folder at once. It wouldn't make sense to use it to extract a single hfs (use vzipflip for that).

Re: [Release] Alternative HFS extractor
This tool is amazing, it helped me out with my missing materials/effects for the Dullahan map and boss. Neamhain start screen also works properly now.
By the way, there's a 6th path not found, for 0A646393F0318DFF7098C58C7C561D8D3DE1D00D.hfs in the KR client. Nothing major though, it only contains a few effects - ice_head_a_break.efx, ice_head_a_break2.efx, and ice_head_b_break.efx
The actual path for these is:
"effects/etc/ice_head_a_break.efx"
"effects/etc/ice_head_a_break2.efx"
"effects/etc/ice_head_b_break.efx"

"effects/etc/ice_head_a_break2.efx"
"effects/etc/ice_head_b_break.efx"
I can confirm the paths. SHA1 of "EfFeCtS@EtC.0" (without quotes) is indeed 0A646393F0318DFF7098C58C7C561D8D3DE1D00D.
The algorithms of the program couldn't find it referenced in other hfs files, maybe it is directly referenced by the dlls. Anyway, I will add it to the static table for the next version.

@Delteros how do you add neamhain start screen? I tried replacing all game_start and background01 folders with neamhain bsp but the winter screen still shows.
Btw very good tool, it's much better than hfs extractor.

Try game_start, game_start_vin, and/or s3_game_start

You can easily add new items without doing anything by hand. I updated my 1.64 client to include all equips & outfitters from 1.69.
1. Put only the new files from updated client into data folder (I did this by using robocopy and changing my computer's time)
2. Replace old player_costume.txt & heroes_text_english.txt
3. Use Navicat to data transfer some of the tables from the new client's heroes.db3 to your current client & server dbs (You can straight-out replace the client one if you disable the new UI stuff in FeatureMatrix. Some tables will break stuff if updated, like StatusEffectGroupInfo.)
And done. You can probably do a lot more, but dungeons will definitely need manual work done since client DBs don't include drop rates and such.

To load winnsi.dll I have to use injector or there is other way to load it with client start ?

It should load automatically, just like the original GSL... Unless things are different for Win 8/10...

Just drop it to the folder where are all dll's right ?
Re: [Release] Alternative HFS extractor
I would like to clarify something about bsp paths.
The true paths of .bsp are those that this program outputs. For example, the path of 01c.bsp is "maps/01c/01c.bsp".
However, the game code requests bsp like this: "maps/01c.bsp". This is because "that function" in filesystem_stdio has exceptional code for this case: when a path starts by "maps" and ends with ".bsp", the function will redirect the path like this "maps/" + base name + "/" + base name + ".bsp" to find the real path ("maps/01c/01c.bsp")
But when using the gsl clone, since it prepends "data/" to the path, it destroys this weird logic of the game. Therefore, when using gsl clone, you must always use the fake path for maps, this is, "maps/01c.bsp", etc.

No, the .bsp. You can put the replacement in data/maps/
