How to read attributez?

[Alex Koz]

Maybe you can help me. Please if you can!

Maybe you know how to read (& interpret) ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT? (.REZ::GAME/ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT)

[Barış Kutluay]

Really sorry,if you know that.

First,download the REZ extractor from tihs link : http://gooroosgruntz.proboards.com/thread/2274/list-utilities-tutorials-custom-tilesets

Later select rez file and extract it.

Now you can read ATTRIBUTEZ.txt

[Alex Koz]

Thx. And where pointers to data stored in ATTR..Z.TXT from (maybe) WWD?

See here for decrypting the ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT file

[Alex Koz]

Yes, thx. I already found it before your comment and found key in Gruntz.exe before it. But in exe no one any mention about Blowfish algorithm.

[Alex Koz]

Now I already reversed ~90% of WAP32 engine. Troubles only with decrypting that txt files. :(

[Friedslick6]

Please make a comment here or in the "Undocumented Cheat Codes" topic on the Gruntz forum if the CHEATZ.TXT file has been decrypted.

[Alex Koz]

I'm more interested in the data from the file ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT. This is important for accurate full recovery game logic.

[Friedslick6]

Fair enough. Here's the decrypted file.

[Alex Koz]

Currently i know what ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT is dBase 3 with memo (.fpt) with encrypted fields. Encryption - blowfish with key 1212C maybe.

[Friedslick6]

Edited my comment, see above.

[Alex Koz]

WOW! How??? Can you describe the algorithm?

[Alex Koz]

$ openssl des -d -blowfish -in ATTRIBUTEZ.TXT -out ATTRIBUTEZ.DEC.TXT -k 1212 is not.

[Friedslick6]

As I mentioned before, the topic on XeNTaX has the answer. I don't know the difference, but QuickBMS is able to decrypt the file using the blowfish algorithm and the "1212" key using the script provided by dniel888. Perhaps you can find the answer in QuickBMS's source code.

Thank you. I didn't know about this utility. And I'll look into its code.
