Issue with files data in the SSA archive #2

Closed GioMetal closed 2 years ago

GioMetal commented 2 years ago

Every file seems to start with PK01, and writing the data starting from the specified absolute position in the file entry is useless image

Yes because the data is DCL compressed.

SSA tool includes a DCL decompressor for that reason, just make sure you select the decompression option when being asked.

@zocker-160 I was reading the documentation, i didn't see anything about compression, and since i'm noob in this field, i made this post to ask for help. soon later i found the source code and saw that you ckeck for magic to see if a file is compressed or not, so at this point is clear why PK01 is there and what i should do. Thank you for your amazing work.

@GioMetal yes the documentation is lacking this information, sorry about that.

I do actually have an updated version of it, which I haven't pushed to this repo for whatever reason. ._.
