OT-DAT

A simple library written in TypeScript for reading and writing Tibia .DAT files. Supported versions 7.40 -> 7.72

Description

This library can be used for multiple things. For example, it would work perfectly together with my other library (ot-spr) for creating a modern web based object builder.

Getting Started

Dependencies

The library should work for most JavaScript engines. Both on the frontend and the backend.
*NodeJS
*Deno
*Web Browser

Installing

NodeJS:

npm install @v0rt4c/dat

Deno:

import { DatReader, DatWriter } from 'https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts';

Usage

NodeJS:

import { DatReader, DatWriter } from '@v0rt4c/dat';
import fs from 'fs';

const datBuffer = fs.readFileSync('Tibia.dat');

//Read dat file to a JS object
const reader = DatReader(datBuffer);
const datObject = reader.parse();

//Write JS object back to a dat file
const writer = DatWriter(datObject, { version: 760, signature: '439D5A33' });
const newDatBuffer = writer.write();
fs.writeFileSync('NewTibia.dat', newDatBuffer);

Deno:

import { DatReader, DatWriter, DAT_SIGNATURES } from 'https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts';

const datBuffer = Deno.readFileSync('Tibia.dat');

//Read dat file to a JS object
const reader = DatReader(datBuffer);
const datObject = reader.parse();

//Write JS object back to a dat file
const writer = DatWriter(datObject, { version: 760, signature: DAT_SIGNATURES[760] });
const newDatBuffer = writer.write();
Deno.writeFileSync('NewTibia.dat', newDatBuffer);
