unpack, list and mount Psychonauts .pkg archives

Primary LanguagePython

psypkg

Unpack, list and mount Psychonauts .pkg archives. Only the uncompressed version is currently supported, because I only have access to such files with my Steam copy of Psychonauts.

Basic usage:

psypkg.py list <archive>                 - list contens of .pkg archive
psypkg.py unpack <archive>               - extract .pkg archive
psypkg.py mount <archive> <mount-point>  - mount archive as read-only file system

The mount command depends on the llfuse Python package. If it's not available the rest is still working.

This script is compatible with Python 2.7 and 3 (tested with 2.7.5 and 3.3.2).

File Format

I used this description of the file format to implement this script. Here follows a summary of the file format.

There are many doubled file names in the PsychonautsData2.pkg file distributed with Psychonauts for Steam. I guess the later file records are updates on the earlier ones?

For these file entries the second occurance will overwrite the first when unpacking. When the archive is mounted as a file system name conflict resolution is a bit different. In this case ~number is added between the file name and the extension. number is the first number that doesn't produce a confict.

NOTE: I'm not quite sure about the file names. It could very well be that they are a bit buggy and not exactly the way they should be. For instance without special logic to prevent this I would extract absolute paths for some reason (like lipsync/thaj000ht.pba), and some names looks like they are missing a letter at the start (uckerfish -> suckerfish? quirrel -> Squirrel?). Maybe someone can find out the problem in my code?
