This tool can help you extract existing darc files and create new darc files (written in Python 2.7).

User guide

Command

  • darc.py [-h] (-c | -x | -l) [-a ALIGN] [-t [TYPEALIGN ...]] [-d DIR] [-f FILE] [-n [EXCLUDE ...]] [-e {big,little}]
  • -c/--create -x/--extract -l/--list

Samples

  • python darc.py -xf input.arc -d output - Extract "input.arc" to "output" folder.
  • python darc.py -cf output.arc -d input dirs files ... - Change directory to "input/" and add entries recursively to "output.arc".
  • python darc.py -c -a 0x20 -f output.arc -d input dirs files ... - Create darc with all file data align to 32.
  • python darc.py -c -a 0x20 -t *.bcfnt:0x80 -f output.arc -d input dirs files ... - Create darc with *.bcfnt files data align to 128, other files align to 32.

Notes

  • By default, this tool creates archives without the "." entry, which is commonly found in many games.
