Conversion script for image files from Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient from PAK archives to TGA images.
This was made by request. As it turns out, Corpse Party 2 stores its character sprites uncompressed as TGA images inside an archive with this header:
00 00 00 00 00
or to put it more simply, all of Corpse Party 2's assets are offset by five bytes and given the extension .pak.
All this script does is make a copy of each input file with the first five bytes removed, then (optionally) delete the input file.
Requirements:
- Python 3.7+
Usage:
- Place script in the same directory as .pak files
- Run script
Note:
- I used file extensions here to identify input files because the person who requested this script is running Windows. If I were writing this again for a more general audience, I would identify input files by parsing the header directly.
- QuickBMS, a fantastic ripping tool, renders this script obsolete. I suggest if you are seriously intending to rip assets from Corpse Party 2 that you use it instead.
