guard3 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) g3DTZ is a collection of tools that extract some data from GAME.DTZ; both LCS and VCS versions! Specifically: IDE IPL SFX.SDT sets (PSP only) Zones (info.zon / map.zon / navig.zon) Path data (flight.dat / ferry1.dat / tracks.dat / tracks2.dat) Colour data (carcols.dat / pedcols.dat) Weapon data (weapon.dat / weapon_multi.dat) Animations CULL.IPL OBJECT.DAT PED.DAT PEDGRP.DAT PEDSTATS.DAT FISTFITE.DAT (LCS) PARTICLE.CFG SURFACE.DAT HANDLING.CFG TIMECYC.DAT WATERPRO.DAT cdimage DIR cutscene DIR GAME.DAT (aka decompressed GAME.DTZ) How to use? Simple! Just drag n' drop GAME.DTZ to the appropriate executable. For example, you should use lcs_psp.exe for a GAME.DTZ from lcs psp etc... Who to thank? @The Hero for his storiesconv source and @cj2000 for giving me a headstart! Where's the download? Here - v2.0, and don't forget to read the ReadMe Check it out on GitHub!

Vladion Prorock Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 How do I export a game.dat file, or it does not work yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guard3 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) By game.dat you mean just the decompressed file? If yes, rename game.dtz to game.zlib and drag n drop to this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/338352146946981889/442752002993160222/zdrop.exe Thats if you want to read the data yourself, my tool reads and exports the data to normal PC format already.

AntonioCipriani1998 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 And what about the other game.dtz data? Can you create a tool that allows you to see all the data in game.dtz as a decompression library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asparaguss Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This may be a stupid question but what can you actually do with the extracted files? Is there a way to modify them and then create a new modded GAME.DTZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sondre1999 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Ive managed to edit the handling.cfg through DTZ explorer, the problem is saving the new cfg into the iso file Asparaguss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sondre1999 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have sucessfully modifed a PS2 iso with the new handling.cfg I also changed some weapons parameters, boots up like normal and the ''mods'' are working. I used DTZ explorer and Apache3 build 3.1.0. PowerISO does not work on PS2 iso files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guard3 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 The purpose of this tool is to regenerate the source files as faithfully as possible for stories total conversions. I don't want to mess with regenerating a game.dtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
