Chinese .WIS Files

[Gadget]

Ive done the smaller ones so far, i tried using just the TBitmap and its quicker but the placements output is carnage as each placement has its own file and when you have 70,000+ hum/weapon images

Take a look at how I handled the placements files in my original WIL viewer. I think I wrote them in batches of 255 or something into their own folder. eg. \1\1-255.bmp \2\256-512.bmp

If you load the files into a TMemoryStream like we had originally it will be way quicker at the export also - but slow to load initially on larger files.

if you need to leave them running to extract I have an 8 core 3d workstation i can leave it running on if it will make it quicker. Even if it takes a few days i work away from home so i can leave it running over the week.

Me and Gadget have been working on cracking these files for the past week as I couldnt find anything in the Chinese community and Azura said he had a viewer but not anymore.

Was a tricky one to break but we eventually got it in the end.

Next step we have to find a convenient way to export the data (as there is a lot) and also add support into the source files for them.

I dont know what is new in these files apart fromt he Hum images for the new magic skills.

But regardless anything released into .WIS format from China can be accessed now.

could you upload just one of these .wis files, like the spells one or a weapon one please?? i dont want to download all of the client to get one.

sorry for beein a pain aswell

[kyndigs]

Delphi......

 

[shorty606]

I'm all curious, did you reverse it from asm? or look at file structure and compare it to the standard wil?

The images were compressed, had to figure ot the encryption from hex.

A bit of voodoo, black magic, pizza, some beer, and a hex editor

Luckily the chinese didn't do half of what I had expected them to do, else we'd have been taking months to work it out - as it was it probably took us 3 or 4 evenings of combined efforts.

 

[shorty606]

I'm very impressed ^^

 

[ChiliPepper]

looking good

Any chance we'll be seeing the viewer released soon?
