unrpa - Extract files from the RPA archive format.

About

unrpa is a tool to extract files from the RPA archive format (from the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine.

It can also be used as a library.

Installation

Package manager

The best way to install unrpa is through your package manager, if a package is available for your operating system. I maintain an AUR package) for Arch Linux users.

pip

You can also install unrpa through pip, the Python package manager. You can do this on Windows with:

py -3 -m pip install "unrpa"

Or use python3 rather than py -3 on unix systems. You can see the official documentation for more help installing through pip.

From source

You can also download the latest release and extract it.

Dependencies

You will need Python 3.7 or later in order to run it (either install through your package manager or directly from python.org).

If you are trying to extract more exotic RPA archives, there may be additional dependencies. unrpa should instruct you how to install them if required.

Examples

When installed through your package manager or pip, you should be able to use unrpa by opening a terminal or command prompt and doing something like:

unrpa -mp "path/to/output/dir" "path/to/archive.rpa"

If you are running from source, you will need execute python directly:

• On most unix systems, open a terminal in the directory containing unrpa then:

  python3 -m unrpa -mp "path/to/output/dir" "path/to/archive.rpa"
  

• On most Windows systems, open a Command Prompt in the directory containing unrpa then:

  py -3 -m unrpa -mp "path\to\output\dir" "path\to\archive.rpa"
