Hey! Listen!

This tool is in very early development. The CLI is a WIP and may not be completely plumbed up yet. If you’d like to help out and know Python, try out the API a little bit and see if you run into errors parsing files! We’re also at the stage that feature/usability feedback would be much appreciated.

Features

• cli interface

• TODO

CLI Examples

usage: scdt [-h] [--verbose] [--stderr] [--command-timeout COMMAND_TIMEOUT] [command] ...

positional arguments:
  [command]             Subcommand to run, if missing the interactive mode is started instead.
    cryxml-to-json      Convert a CryXML file to JSON
    cryxml-to-xml       Convert a CryXML file to xml
    unforge             Convert a DataForge file to a readable format
    unp4k               Extract files from a P4K file
    actionmap           Dumps the default profile action map (keybinds) as JSON

API Examples

Read a DataForge database (.dcb)

from scdatatools.forge import DataCoreBinary
dcb = DataCoreBinary('research/Game.dcb.3.9.1-ptu.5229583')
jav_records = dcb.search_filename('*javelin.xml')
print(dcb.dump_record_json(jav_records[-1]))

Use the StarCitizen class:

from scdatatools.sc import StarCitizen
sc = StarCitizen('D:/Path/To/LIVE')
sc.p4k.search('idris')
sc.datacore.records[0]

Special Thanks

A huge thanks goes out to dolkensp (aka alluran) for doing the initial hard work figuring out the P4K and DataForge file formats! This would’ve taken a lot longer with his efforts.
