Talk:DatabasePackedFile

It's a Sims 2 wiki yes, but it also has Simcity 4 modding information on it thats linked from Simtropolis, so try not to remove all the Sim City 4 stuff. :) Delphy 17:10, 1 August 2006 (EDT)

I didn't, I just changed the focus to Sims2. Jaxad0127 17:21, 1 August 2006 (EDT)

I could get it until the File part. Then there's a header that may be there or may not be there, with no hint as to a method to know! Albmont 17:24, 28 December 2006 (EST)

How does it look now? I added links to the DIR resource and the DBPF Compression page. Delphy 12:08, 29 December 2006 (EST)

I still don't get it. I could read the header, but then I got struck at the index. I tried to "seek" to the position indicated by "Location of first index entry", and read the index table. Some of the entries seemed ok (instante ID = 1, second instance ID = 0, size = 133), but some looked weird (type ID = 206966585, etc). Then I continued reading the next entries, with similar numbers (FWIW: I am writing the read_package routine in the R programming language). I could continue, but those weird numbers might mean that I am missing something. Albmont 09:57, 30 December 2006 (EST)
