diablo-file-formats
Handles parsing of binary files found within Diablo 1 MPQ archives, and the creation of convenient run-time data structures.
Currently supported file formats:
.cel
.cl2
(partial).pal
.dun
.til
.min
.sol
Installation
npm install diablo-file-formats
Usage
// 1). Require the package.
var DFormats = require('diablo-file-formats');
// 2). Read the file.
var path = 'levels/towndata/town.pal';
fs.readFile(path, function read(err, buffer) {
// 3). Parse the file.
var palFile = DFormats.Pal.load(buffer, path);
// 4). Do something with the file.
for (var i = 0; i < palFile.colors; i++) {
console.log(palFile.colors[i]);
}
});
Protip
Use along with MPQ readers like mech-mpq or mpq-server to dynamically extract and parse the MPQ archive (without having to pre-extract the contents).
