MTF unpacker/packer for Darkstone archives. Beta


-----------------------------------------------
How to use:
-----------------------------------------------

Note: You can drag and drop the .mtf file onto mtf.exe to unpack the file.

Examples for cli:

to unpack:
mtf -x -i data.mtf -o ./extracted

to pack:
mtf -a -i data.mtf -o ./source_directory
(need to be fixed to vise versa later, I know it).

to save a list:
mtf --list -i data.mtf -l data.mtf.txt


-----------------------------------------------
About:
-----------------------------------------------

This script is a reimplementation of "darkstone-tools" (by Game3DEE) to Python.

The advantages are:

a) do not require NodeJS
b) standalone and portable
c) standard command-line arguments similar to 7z and ffmpeg.
d) easier to use (support drag'n'drop) and modify


Note: Compression is also not supported for new archives since there are not a lot of info about it was availible.
