REWise v0.3.0

Codename SHAREWARE

  • Multi lingual installer support.
  • PK installer support (installers created with the zip support option).
  • NE support.
  • File filters by wildcard string(s) and experimental by language and/or components.
  • Improved WiseScript.bin parsing (new/adjusted OP's).
  • New operation --raw-verify, to verify raw extract.
  • REWise will now exit with a different exit code for different errors.
  • Strings will be interpreted as CP1252 and converted to UTF-8, non convertable characters will be escaped, example 0x0D will become '_x0D'.
  • Debug code removed from 'normal' build, build with 'make debug' for debug build.
  • Fix segfaults due to uninitialized stuff (ouch..)
  • The .dib file is fully skipped now, no extract to /tmp anymore.
  • More values have been found in the overlay header, many deflated/inflated file sizes. So the advertised inflate size for WiseScript.bin will be honored now, the extra sanity check that the inflated size should not be larger then 1 MiB is still there.

There are still some issues, to list some:

  • WiseScript OP 0x18 is not understood.
  • The code used to get the language/comp per file still has unknowns, therefore not all installer will work, but most do.
  • Inflated file size is larger then advertised, these will not work because REWise is strict about the advertised inflate size.
  • Installers that have weird extra bytes in the WiseScriptHeader.

REWise v0.2.0

Codename ZLIB

  • Replaced the custom inflate and CRC32 code with an zlib implementation. Tests showed that the zlib implementation is around 16 times faster!
  • Maximum file sizes for WiseScript.bin and WiseColors.bin while inflating.
  • Fixed some compiler warnings.

REWise v0.1.0

Codename INIT

This is the initial version.

The inflation process is heavily based on the inflation implementation of WiseUnpacker. So a lot of thanks to mnadareski!

Most time was spend on reverse-engineering WiseScript.bin to extract files with their meta-data without as much of guessing as possible at that time.

It can list, verify and extract files from various Valve game installers released from 1999 to 2003 like Half-Life GOTY and Counter-Strike 1.5. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001) and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (2001) are also supported. For a more complete list of working and not working installers see README.md.
