Durchschuss Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I read something about reindexing in a DEViANCE nfo and am curious what this is. I'm not new to game related file formats but I've never heard anything about that (or maybe I already know it but under a different name?) Something reasonable would be that they mean adding files to a game archive and thus changing the indexes of the files, but they write "in regards to game .exe's" are you able to write YOUR OWN source code to unpack & repack game related major file format types such as MPQ, MIX & WAD? And can you also identify most major big-file formats(files that contain more files) by looking at the hex byte code of the header for that file? Do you know what reindexing is in regards to game .exe's and can you do it?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0buRn Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've never heard of reindexing either, but try this maybe it could shed some light on ithttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Reindexing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durchschuss Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Found an older version of the nfo (with Safedisc 2 ) There they talk about the files... If you know the difference between reindexing and unpacking large files. Or if you can identify ANY major file formats by looking at the hex byte code of the header. Or if you can tell the difference between MPQ & HAPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PixelaseR Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hmm...I would be interested in finding out what this re-indexing mean. Could it be....fingerprinting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durchschuss Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 In terms of the files, it could be to change the order of the files, maybe unpacking and repacking and thus changing the indices of the files. But in the first example they talk about the game's exe. Nevertheless I still wonder why they search such guys, haven't heard of any Deviance mod yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Not sure you will see one either. IIRC DEViANCE closed all depts a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
