schemas.
- Reasonably accurate inference of XSD schemas from a packed data center file.
- Validation of data sheets against schemas, preventing many mistakes when authoring data sheets.
- Packing of data sheets in accordance with type and key information in schemas to a fresh data center file usable by the client.
- Format integrity verification of data center files, optionally with strict compliance checks.
- Support for various iterations of the data center format throughout the game's history.

Pack

Packs the data sheets in a directory to a data center file. If validation of the data sheets fails during packing, a list of problems will be printed and the exit code will be non-zero.

Usage example,

novadrop-dc pack --encryption-key 1C01C904FF76FF06C211187E197B5716 --encryption-iv 396C342C52A0C12D511DD0209F90CA7D DataCenter_Final_EUR DataCenter_Final_EUR.dat

Additional options,

--format

Available values: v3, v6x86, *v6x64 *(Default)

Unpack

Unpacks the data tree in a data center file to a series of data sheets and schemas in a directory. This command is primarily intended for unpacking official data center files into a form that is easily maintainable by humans.

Usage example,

novadrop-dc unpack --decryption-key 1C01C904FF76FF06C211187E197B5716 --decryption-iv 396C342C52A0C12D511DD0209F90CA7D --architecture x64 DataCenter_Final_EUR.dat DataCenter_Final_EUR

Additional options,

--architecture

Available values: x86, x64

Validate

Validates the data sheets in a directory against their schemas. If validation of the data sheets fails, a list of problems will be printed and the exit code will be non-zero.

Usage example,

novadrop-dc validate DataCenter_Final_EUR

Schema

Performs best-effort inference of the schemas for the data tree in a data center file. This may be useful when working with older data centers for which Novadrop's included schemas are not correct.

Usage example,

novadrop-dc schema DataCenter_Final_EUR.dat DataCenter_Final_EUR_Schema --decryption-key 7FD5171A957A55462B410F4BFA89927A --decryption-iv C0DC9724485AD02C812DB750B0BDB21F

Additional options,

--architecture

Available values: x86, x64

--subdirectories

Available values: n/a

--strategy

Available values: *conservative, aggressive *(Default)
