Theres something to extract the WDFs but nothing public to (re)archive the files. I don't even know if theyre compressed inside the wdf, they're just archived
I wrote one, but only tested it a few times, had a few issues - it didnt store all the files for one as far as i could tell, and the client seemed to reject it, so i abandoned it a while ago, to my knowledge there isnt a completed tool, there isnt much point in it either since the wdf extractor can simply get all your edits out of it, and you dont save on disk space either since the entire file is written, its never compressed.

i created custom map files and it didn't read the dds files from my data folder. I assume it's reading them from the wdf archive, which is why it would be nice to be able to archive them.
Korvacs or anyone who has the code to a wdf extractor, wanna share it? ill look at turning it into an archiver, thanks.
It reads the wdf files first, if the files arnt in there then it checks the folders. So you dont need to store them in the wdf files for it to work, you must have missed a link somewhere.
As for the extractor, extracting is nothing like the process to add files to the archive, so source for the extractor wont help you.
I made one, but I lost the code a few weeks ago when my HDD crashed... The tool was functional. I tested the WDF package with the same hash algorithm and with another hash algorithm and it worked fine. The only thing was that the clients before the 2rb patch reject the new packages. I never found the solution with Sparkie... Maybe, I will remake one. Anyway, it was not really hard to do.
[SUCHE]Exe compressor 10/22/2009 - General Coding - 10 Replies Hi e*PvP coders,
ich habe letztens was mit c++ gecodet (bisschwen aufwendigere Sache) und mein Problem is jetzt ich hatte das wen geeschickt und ne halbe stunde später hab ich von ihm den 100%ig kompletten Source davon zurückbekommen.
Von einem Freund habe ich gehört, dass man mit aspack die .exe kompressionieren kann und dann könnte man die Anwendung nicht mehr dissamblen.
Meine Frage ist jetzt da ASPack kostet obs so ein Programm auch umsonst gibt?
