VPK is Valve's file format for storing game assets.

Pythonic access to VPK files and their contents together with a cli tool.

Works on: ``python2.7``, ``python3.4+``, ``pypy``, and ``pypy3``

Install

-------

You can grab the latest release from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vpk or via ``pip``

.. code:: bash

    pip install vpk

Quick start

-----------

The VPK instance is iterable in the standard ways and produces paths to files

.. code:: python

    import vpk

    pak1 = vpk.open("/d/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/dota/pak01_dir.vpk")

    for filepath in pak1:

        print filepath

Reading a specifc file is done by passing the file path to ``get_file()`` method, which

returns a ``VPKFile`` instance, which acts as a regular ``file`` instance. Writting is not

possible.

.. code:: python

    pakfile = pak1.get_file("scripts/emoticons.txt")

    pakfile = pak1["scripts/emoticons.txt"]

    print pakfile.read().decode('utf-16le')

.. code:: text

    -------------------------------------------------

    "emoticons"

    {

        // An ID of zero is invalid

        "1"

        {

            "image_name" "wink.png"

            "ms_per_frame" "100"

    ...

Saving a file is just as easy.

.. code:: python

    pakfile.save("./emoticons.txt")

The module supports creating basic VPKs.

Multi archive paks are not yet supported.

.. code:: python

    newpak = vpk.new("./some/directory")

    newpak.save("file.vpk")

    pak = newpak.save_and_open("file.vpk")

CLI tool

--------

A command line utility is also included

.. code:: text

    usage: vpk [-h] [--version] [-l] [-la] [-x OUT_LOCATION] [-nd] [-t] [-c DIR]

               [-p] [-f WILDCARD | -re REGEX | -name WILDCARD] [-v]

               file

    Manage Valve Pak files

    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      --version             show program's version number and exit

    Main:

      file                  Input VPK file

      -l, --list            List file paths

      -la                   List file paths, crc, size

      -x OUT_LOCATION, --extract OUT_LOCATION

                            Extract files to directory

      -nd, --no-directories

                            Don't create directries during extraction

      -t, --test            Verify contents

      -c DIR, --create DIR  Create VPK file from directory

      -p, --pipe            Write file contents to stdout

    Filters:

      -f WILDCARD, --filter WILDCARD

                            Wildcard filter for file paths

      -re REGEX, --regex REGEX

                            Regular expression filter for file paths

      -name WILDCARD        Filename wildcard filter

      -v, --invert-match    Use filters for exclusion
