This repository doesn't contain any of the released material for the game. Only the scripts needed to extracts some of the assets.\n\n## Extracting assets\nThe Python script `rr_scorcher.py` will extract all resources and convert `.r0v` files to images.\n\nTo run the Python script, you need some dependencies. These are specified in the file `requirements.txt`. Install dependencies with the following `PIP` command:\n\n```bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\nYou need a copy of *Scorcher*, specifically the file `TAGDEN.BIN` which contains most, if not all assets for the game.\n\n\u003e [!tip]\n\u003e Scorcher is considered [Abandonware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware) and you can download a copy of the game from [My Abandonware](https://www.myabandonware.com/game/scorcher-7r5). The DOS \"RIP Version\" will do fine 👍\n\nWhen you have extracted the game and located the file `TAGDEN.BIN`, run the following command. Use your local path to the file:\n\n```bash\npython rr_scorcher.py /path/to/TAGDEN.BIN\n```\n\nThe script will run for a for a few seconds, then you should have some of the content in a output directory called `output/`.\n\n## Formats\nAll formats seams to be build as in house formats.\n\n| Ext. | Count | Description | Status |\n|---:|---:|:---|:---|\n| `.bin` | `1` | Assets content archive | 🟢 Decodes to files |\n| `.bin` | `184` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.r0v` | `91` | Image 15-bit | 🟢 Decodes to `.png` |\n| `.wl3` | `64` | 3D model |  🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.0` | `51` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.ld` | `31` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.fzp` | `25` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.fmz` | `25` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.txt` | `15` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.1` | `20` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.pal` | `10` | Color palette | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.cmp` | `10` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.joy` | `7` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.hmp` | `6` | Level heightmap | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.ddd` | `1` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n| `.asc` | `1` | ??? | 🔴 Not decoded |\n\nBy default all data types are stored with big endian.\n\nAll decoding has been done with the help of tools like [Radare2](https://www.radare.org/n/), [Jupyter Lab](https://jupyter.org/) and [Visidata](https://www.visidata.org/).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcarlmartus%2Freverse-engineering-scorcher","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcarlmartus%2Freverse-engineering-scorcher","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcarlmartus%2Freverse-engineering-scorcher/lists"}
