Extraction » What is in the Pak Files

Is it possible that you'll unlock hidden content that wasn't used in the actual Toonstruck?

According to MobyGames, only 35% of animation made it into the final game. Moreover, Akril15 has already discovered some interesting things. So, as I guess, there will be plenty of treasure-hunting as soon as we unlock the files.

Did someone make a try to encrypt the Files? Specially in case for Animations and Backgrounds.

When Im @home I take a look ... it was a long tim ago, that I did reverse engineering

Any success in decrypting, Unterbuchse?

Decrypt the GFX (*.CAF, *.CPS) files with "changing and testing" is very hard and frustrating, so I went another way ... attack the game binaries and the secret of "decrypting the LZSS/SPCN code".
After some sleepless Nights of investigation, I found a way to decompile the Toonstruck main.exe in Pseudo C-Code, actually I'm checking out which Function does what. Unfortunally, the original function names got lost.
But I'm on a good/possible way to decrypt the GFX Files. (In the next weeks/months )

Here some Results I got from Strings in the Source:
The Engine based partially on the Kyrandia Engine
Facts for this:
- Source-Code String "Kyrandia_Startup Startn"
- http://rewiki.regengedanken.de/wiki/Toonstruck

The final Game contains a Debug Mode (maybe that wouldn't be new)
Facts for this:
- Source-Code String/Messages like this:
"Show script functions on."
"Show script functions off."
"Draw Anim boxes disabled."
"Draw Anim boxes enabled."
"Gonzales on/off." -> Did somebody now what that could be?
"Music on/off."
"Text on/off."
""Hide_Mouse()"
"Show_Mouse()"
"Draw region boxes enabled/disabled."
"Anywhere_Walkable enabled."
"Display_Mouse_Coordinates enabled."

--> Next to the decryption, I search a opportunity to activate the debug mode. Or is that already solved? Would be a helpful option in the launcher

Also funny is Source like this:
if ( *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 112 + v3) != *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 96)
|| *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 116 + v3) != *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 100)
|| *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 120 + v3) != *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 104)
|| *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 124 + v3) != *(_DWORD *)(v4 + 108) )
DebugPrint((int)"ERROR: This code not finished yet.n", v42);

or

DebugPrint((int)"Screwed up child link in Box data!!n", -1);
DebugPrint((int)"This MUST be fixed NOW!!!!!GEPn", v8);


at least

DebugPrint((int)"Whoa! Chris Lloyd couldn't walk to hotx:%d & hoty:%d as defined in boxit.n", v38);

I think so, too. But in the source contains no hint for the right parameter Unfortunally, I crashedToonstruck on my netbook, so I can't test some args like "-debug" or "-d" ..etc...

Gooooood News everyone!
I have first results by decrypting the (fullscreen) images in the CPS files, which are packed with the LZSS algorithm.
Looks terrible ... but you can see what it is







Stay on working!

It seems to me that the second image (with the knife) hasn't appeared in the game! Looks like you've unlocked something new!

Think so, too Its the knife.cps in the local.pak, could be the first background for the options.

Nice work!
