Well, I think it's safe to say I'm in over my head with all this zlib stuff :p I see what you mean about the DEF'd files not showing any signs of the original file though.

Perhaps it'd be best to,...

Well, I did a little bit of research and it looks like PKZIP, the one you said is invented by Phil Katz, and ZLIB both use the same decompression algorithm (DEFLATE) but they have different headers...

I thought that zlib was the method used by all standard zip files, I don't know whether that's correct or even helpful though :p

OOC: Whoo, another veteran returns! Heh, Nick may have picked a bad time to return if he's seeking close to retirement :p

I can't believe no one's replied to this yet. This is very intriguing, I do hope you continue this. Maybe some people were put off by the length of the chapter, but personally I love long chapters...

Hey, it's not my fault I have a real-life as well! :p That was good filler for the hacked period, I really don't remember what happened there. But see, I told you a while ago that we got hacked and...

It lives!!!

As far as I recall, my character Ralph was with Jim, about to go searching for Anni to see if she'd got herself into trouble (which of course, she had :p). Unfortunately, I think they...

Ah, that should be easy enough to fix. In fact, here you go, updated version of the command prompt extractor XD Also it now adds an underscore to the end of the file name if it already exists. It was...

Which ROF's were the missing files supposed to be in? I can take a look and see what's going on. I suppose the aforementioned files with the same name will also be missing as well.

Fantastic, so the files came out like they were supposed to?

Also, I've started working on a GUI to extract them as well, just so anyone can use it. Might be a few days before I'm happy with it...

You know, I was going to say things are getting tense, but I could say that about a lot of the chapters :p Which is a good thing, it's good cause it keeps us readers on the edge of our seats!

Oh, that's a nuisance. At the moment I think it'd just overwrite the second file, so I'll have to add some code to make it check if the file already exists first, and if so add something to the end...

As I said earlier, you'll need to open it in a command prompt. Or you can download either of those ROF files that Naulahauta uploaded and edit the batch file to have the name of that file (at the...

Dang it! I don't think the GUI would make much difference, cause it's the function to extract the files which is where the problem is, and a GUI would still call that same function.

It appears to...

Ok, I found I was wrong about part of the problem. I've re-written it to avoid the running out of memory problem anyway, but it turns out that because of the way the int type in C++ works (in my...

Alright, I took a look and it looks like it is the number of files that's causing the problem.
See, what it does at the moment is it checks the first byte to see how many files it needs, then it...

That's a very useful diagram! Thanks for that, that should make programming a small application to extract the files pretty easy. I won't be able to do it until after Monday, because I'm pretty busy...

I might be able to help you out there. I can code C++, I'll probably be too lazy to make a fancy program to do it, but if you told me what you needed it to do I could probably do a basic command...

Ah, the irony - Anni was sent to Rupture Farms so she wouldn't be around vykkers, but it looks like she can't get away from them no matter where she goes.

Hembar was surprised as SU-01 fired at Mars, but she had caught the "wink" before the shot. She moved towards him as he fell to the ground, but Anni was faster and crouched down beside him.
