File Formats

The new GM7 file format is encrypted but the LIB and extension file formats are still nice and easy to read, perhapses there should be some documentation on these formats on the site?

This would be useful for example in an application to extract bitmap images from libs, or to convert lib actions into GML or to use an extension dynamically without it being installed (by reading the source).

If you'd like, contact me and I'll provide the details of the formats.

Re: File Formats

Hmmmm, personally I find the topic very interesting, but I'm not sure it's appropriate for GMLscripts.com. Seems like it also might skirt a little close to violating the terms of the Game Maker EULA. Still, I can't stop anyone from posting it in a public forum if they really want to ...

Re: File Formats

Oh no, I've checked, it's legal information

But if you feel it's inappropriate for GMLScripts that's your call,

Oh yes, and: http://hacks.greenmangames.vze.com/ for the GM6 file format, GED file format and LIB file format (Lib and GED by myself, GM6 was partially completed by me and then I found two other people had already done it, so there are three documents)

EDIT: Oh yes, forgot to mention, that was GM6's EULA though, I have not checked since version 7 (when the encryption was put in place).

I wonder how long it'll take for people to actually take a hint.

Re: File Formats

Oh believe me, I haven't tried to reverse engineer the GM7 format, if Dr. Overmars doesn't want it known that's good enough for me. And I previously mailed him about the GM6 and he said it was alright.

I should have said, please, this is for informational purposes only, don't do anything illegal with it (That wasn't intended for Yourself obviously, I just mean anyone else reading this topic)
