I rewrote aalis lgp tools to support repacking, useful for mods etc. so all files don't need to be dumped to disk just to overwrite a few.

The main archive contains the source, feel free to use the lgp interface in any projects.

ulgp v1.2
ulgp v1.2.1 (forces lowercase files internally)
ulgp v1.3.2 (no memory mapping, use if you get memory errors)

App tl;dr:

Extract magic.lgp to a folder named "magic"
ulgp -x magic.lgp

Create magic.lgp from a folder named "magic"
ulgp -c magic.lgp

Overwrite files in magic.lgp from those in a folder named "magic"
ulgp -r magic.lgp

GUI should be self-explanatory, the two versions are to match the xp and vista/7/8 visual styles

Run install.bat to associate .lgp files with ulgp, once installed simply double click on an .lgp file to extract to the default folder. Hold shift and right click on any folder to create / add to an .lgp file using the files inside.

Read the readme for advanced usage!, e.g. if you need to distribute mods etc.

Major thanks to Aali for the original lgp code.

First of all, did you get aali's permission to mess around with his stuff? Not sure if he cares but you should always ask.

Secondly, this may be pretty useful, cheers.

Thirdly, I scanned them for anyone who cares:

@Seizmik of course he did, and he has worked on projects here before, there's no need to go hysterical thinking a virus might lurk there...

and if he had created a virus, you do realise it would not show up on any virus scanner?
 
I haven't tried the program in question so I can't say anything about its quality but seeing as luksy is the author it should be pretty good :)

This is exactly the kind of re-use I intended for my code.
 
It has done exactly what I wanted it to do as well... cut down on decoding the whole files.  Less space needed now and faster :)  Plus both decode encode in 1 executable and use of folder inputs outputs.
 
Well I didn't mean to sound like a tosser, but I see your point. As soon as I posted that I went and found some other tools and stuff that lurky had done, alas I had no idea.

Also, just an idea, is it already possible to extract a particular file if you know it's name via come command?
 
Nice work! This will make automated installers much quicker. No need to extract the whole damn lgp and repack it.
 
0.2 is up, added support for extracting / inserting individual files, hopefully that should be just about it, bugs aside.
 
can someone please tell me how to use this imma noob lol i tried using the aalis lgp with the gui front end but it duznt unpack everything i notice...like my battle lgp is over a gigabyte but when i unpack it its less than 100 mb idk what im doing wrong lol
 
Sounds like whatever you used to edit battle.lgp in the past was simply appending files on the end and updating the toc, assuming the file still works in game you can dump the files and repack, the ~900 Mb of extra data will be old files you don't need.
 
When I double click the program it opens cmd and closes really quick. Is it because I'm using windows 7?
 
@Leonhart7413: You must start CMD.exe before you run it. (Hint: Windows-Key + R)
 
The bug was unrelated to whatever problem you are having, try this:

create a directory somwhere, copy in an lgp file and ulgp.exe.

Make sure neither is selected, hold shift, right click -> "open command window here".

Type:

ulgp d whatever.lgp somefolder

and press enter. If you still can't get it to run I have no idea what your issue is.
 
You need to understand how Command Line programs work leonhart.
Click to expand...
Sorry I've done it before but I forgot... I thought this was more automated... I'll try again thanks :)
