Strider Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) You can use this tool to extract the files out of the PWP package file on the Lego Rock Raiders PS1 game disc.

Lair Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is there any way to re-compile these PWP files? No, not yet. He won't be making any updates to his tools. So then how am I supposed to recompile PWPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lair Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 ...Wait... How the heck can a PS1 game disc be opened on a computer? Um... you put it in the disk drive? Althoug PS2 disks won't let (my) computer read them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS1 games are CR-ROMs, PS2 games a DVD-ROMs and PS3 are BD-ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then how am I supposed to recompile PWPs? Cyrem, do you think you could respond to my question? I didn't post asking for a compiler for fun, I meant that I really did want a compiler. How can one be made? We already have this extractor, so just give it the same functions as the WAD tool he made. But seriously. I need a PWP compiler.

Couldn't you just examine the code for the WAD tool and the code for the PWP tool and reverse engineer a PWP compiler out of it. It would take some work and chances are it wouldn't work very much but it would be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Why is there a double space here? There's no need for sonic to put double spaceing between EVERY SENTANCE) It would take some work and chances are it wouldn't work very much but it would be worth a shot. I don't know why you're telling me this since I'm asking Cyrem. And Cyrem, I know you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouse Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Cyrem: PSX simply refers to playstations in general; ps1 ps2 psx. Sonic, where exactly do you think we're going to get either of the tools' source code from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are decompilers out there for VB, but I'm not that low to steal someone else's work. Besides I mostly know the PWP format anyway, it's quite a simple format.

Sorry, when I think of code for anything then the first think that always comes to mind is that you can just open whatever it is notepad and figure it out. In the end I have no idea what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Cyrem, Lair is going to keep bugging you until you give him some sort of answer. Cyrem, I never expected/asked you to make one. Otherwise I would have PM'd you instead of posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't want one I wouldn't have posted in this topic. But if you take a good, long look at my post, you may find that, somewhere beneath the miles and miles of text (it may take a few years), you'll find me asking for a PWP compiler. Just maybe.

Minifig9292 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Okie Dokie Lokie This tool has been rather useful. Though I keep messing up my game, but that's my own stupid fault. Oh well, reinstalling doesn't take much time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amauros Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Lair just wanted to know if there was a way to compile PWP. (Although he did give the impression) He never asked anyone to make a compiler, just wanted someone to give him a direct answer. So Lair, from what I can tell there's no way to compile PWP atm. Cyrem doesn't have the time, so I'd suggest asking someone programming one of the ORR forks if they'll take the time to make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Anonymouse to the rescue! So I heard PWP was quite similar to WAD. I'd see what I could do working from ogun's WAD tool's source code (see, this is why opensource is good...). Only problem is, I have no example PWP files to use.
