Help needed with new bini tool

Fri Mar 11, 2005 8:08 am by Hollowtip

Hi, i'm planing to remake the bini extracter to make it easier to decompress files, either one at a time, by folder or by "wild-card" file selection. Plus i'll be giving it a proper windows interface, and possibly incorporate a re-compressing feature.

Usually I would work out the compression method myself, but due to uni, I have little time to work on this project. If anyone knows the format of the bini files, or knows someone who knows it, could you please tell me so that I can finish this project.

thanks and happy modding

There are a couple of useful downloads for this such as the "BINI Format Explained" PDF file.

Let me suggest an approach to this, to assist in making it more flexible. Make the debini core a class accessible to a WIDE range of clients via a simple COM or .NET interface. This will allow people to use the core of your tool in new situations.
