Is there any program that can...

[Zenoth]

Hey,

I'm trying to find a program that can extract the content of "container" formats with all sorts of strange format names, such as .11c, .11k, .BPC or .DAT. The only thing I found that supposedly does that is a program named Gobread which sadly does not work under Windows 64-Bit, and I don't feel like installing my old XP 32-Bit just to check out of it would even work in the first place or even recognize the said formats. It's from a very old PC game and I'd like to modify its content (textures, sounds, music, and so on), but those formats are quite unique to say the least and I need to extract their content.

Is there anything that would work under Vista x64 please? If not then you could always point me at a 32-Bit compatible one, and maybe I'll end up installing XP 32-Bit later on if I really have no other alternatives. And by the way yes I've tried Google, it's from Google results that I found that "Gobread" program, but as mentioned it doesn't work in x64 environment, only x86 (according to the posts on the discussion forums about it that I've read, and indeed I've tried to run it under my current Vista x64 and it says that the Windows version is incompatible with the program).

Thanks.

Gobread should work in DOSBox according to its author. I don't think you'd have issues running DOSBox on Windows x64.

I tried with DOSBox but it tells me that the formats I'm trying to extract are not recognizable. I mounted the drive properly in DOSBox and pointed the folder in which the Gobread's executable is located, and the following DOSBox execution window correctly shows indicating that Gobread is running, but whatever I try it doesn't work. Maybe I'm not doing something right, I'm not quite sure.

If I could I would prefer sending the files I want to extract to someone willing to take a look at it, because I myself don't know much about programs without simple GUIs, I'm not used to type commands to execute things, DOSBox is pretty much my own limit and even that is quite new in my book since I "learned" of it and how it works thanks to some old games I bought from GoG.com.

I would suggets a Google search for unpacker. Loads of results returned, and with some careful research if you have the time, you will be able to find an unpacker for just about every file type/container you could imagine.

I won't point you at any in specific, a lot of the tools are used for reversing, and in general, nefarious purposes. So it's not for me to be judgmental, or to influence your choice.

I am the author of this program and I'm very glad that you are interested in using it. Unfortunately the current program structure doesn't allow me to port it to 32/64 bit. But you were able to start it in DOSBOX, that's fine.Looking into the extraction modules I assume you want to extract data from the game "Turok 2".Because Turok doesn't use any "magic value" to mark its data files you have to extract the data with this command line:

GOBREAD /turok2 [data_file]

P.S: If text formatting gets wrong it's not my fault!
