Archive::SCS — Mac / Linux tool to read .scs archives

[nautofon]

Archive::SCS is a distribution of Perl modules to work with .scs archive files.

It includes scs_archive, a command-line tool to easily read the contents of .scs files. The tool is designed for Linux and macOS. (I'm told it works on Windows, too, but I personally have zero interest in Windows, so I wouldn't know.)

Installation requires Perl v5.34 or later and is easiest by using cpanminus:

Code: Select all

cpanm Archive::SCS

scs_archive --version

If you're unfamiliar with Perl, please refer to the readme file in the source repository for further details regarding the installation.


(By the way, there's also a separate module for reading the contents of SII files, Data::SCS::DefParser. It has no command-line interface, but you can use it through Perl.)

The initial version is now public. It has full support for HashFS v1 and limited support for HashFS v2 (game version 1.50+).

The limitation is that texture objects are not yet implemented for HashFS v2. I expect I'll get around to work on that eventually, but I currently have no need to read or write texture objects myself, so it'll take a while.
