Open/edit/modify/reverse engineer a wcx file?

Post by *hollaus2 »

I have a plugin that's able to (de)compress files from an older computer game (Vietcong, CBF file extension). Is there any way I can find out what this plugin is doing so I can re-code it for another application? Unfortunately I don't know the author of the plugin and I have no clue about the file format itself.

Plugins are just dll files with a changed extension. You can try to check the function with a disassembler, or call the plugin from your program. The plugin functions are documented in the plugin developer's guide at the end of each section on:

What is the plugin's name? Gaup?
