Hello,

Thank you,

@gregstein , what version of the file? There's various versions with slightly different formatting depending on what version of AoK you are using. Do you have a particular *.hki file that you want to decompress?

Are you aware that the file is in binary format? Even uncompressed, it's still unreadable without a hex editor, and even then you need to know how the binary data is structured.

If you have a particular *.hki file you want to decompress, you can use the decompress() method with the compressed file as input.

The hkizip module that contains that method is runnable; you can create a decompressed file by running hkizip.py d < {infile} > {outfile} where {infile} is the path to your compressed file, and {outfile} is what you want to call the decompressed output.
