pakextract
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
pakextract is a small tool to extract the contents of
|
|
a Quake II pak file into the current directory. Usage:
|
|
|
|
./pakextract /path/to/pakfile.pak
|
|
|
|
Only Quake II paks are supported. Other pak formats may
|
|
work but it's untested and unsupported.

The Quake II Pak File Format
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
A Quake II pak file consists of 3 parts:
|
|
- Header
|
|
- Directory
|
|
- Data
|
|
|
|
The header is written right after the start
|
|
of the file and consists of 3 parts in the
|
|
following order:
|
|
- A 4 byte identification string "PACK" (in ASCII)
|
|
- A 4 byte integer value defining the offset to the
|
|
directory in bytes
|
|
- A 4 byte iteger giving the length of the directory
|
|
in bytes. Since every directory entry is 64 bytes
|
|
long this value modulo 64 must be 0:
|
|
(dir_length % 64) == 0;
|
|
|
|
The directory can be anywere in the file but most times
|
|
it's written to the end. In consists of datablocks,
|
|
written one after the other without any space between
|
|
them. A directory entry is 64 bytes long has entries
|
|
in the following order:
|
|
- A 56 byte file name (in ASCII)
|
|
- A 4 byte value defining the position if the file
|
|
as an offset in bytes to the start of the pak file.
|
|
- A 4 byte integer giving the length of the file
|
|
in bytes.
