- │ Use : │
- ╘═══════╛
- 1.) you can start ripper4 by typing ripper4 at the dos-prompt, the fileshell
- starts and you can select the file you want to search through.
- 2.) you can start ripper4 without the shell by using a filename as a parameter :
-
- Ripper4 [Drv:\Path\Infile.Ext] [Drv:\Path\] [/A] [/T] [/C] [/H] [/F] [/R]
- - Infile.Ext : file to search through (wildcards allowed)
- - You can use @listfile too .... (textfile with filenames in it)
- - Directory for found files (could be given in cfg-file)
- if not given, then current directory
- - /A switches automaticmode (no querries) on
- - /T switches writing of listfile and
- info-file (Ripper4.doc) off.
- - without /A there is a setup for files to search for!
- - /C let you configure the Ripper4
- - /F prevents the file library extraction (some pc-demos)
- - /R extracts your AWE32 / GUS Ram ... if present
- - /H shows help
- if nothing is given a fileselector starts,
-
- example : "ripper4 doom.wad c:\temp\ /a"
- extracts all the files found in doom.wad and writes them directly to
- the directory c:\temp\ (if directory exists).
- files will be named c:\temp\doom001.*, doom002.*....
-
-
- for the configuration you can use /C or edit the cfg-file :
- file must be named Ripper4.cfg and it must be in the same directory.
- - if the cfg-file is present the commandline-parameters will be ignored !
- - in the cfg-file you also can enable/disable the filetypes to be searched
- they are splitted in 5 parts(modules/midis/samples/gfx/exe)
- - also you can specify an user string to search for, see example
- This i a normal config-file :
-
- ; Outpath, where to place the found files
- c:\temp\
-
- ; Automode, switches querries [on/off]
- auto=on
-
- ; Testmode, switches doc/lst-writing [on/off]
- test=off
-
- ; files to be ripped [sorted in 5 groups]
- modules=on
- midis=on
- samples=on
- gfx=on
- exe=off
-
- ; user search-string [ {10} means ASCII sign numer 10 ]
- user1=AMF{10}
-
- =================================================================
-
- Ripper4 was tested on several Games :
- - Doom, Doom2, Heretic : MUS-Files, Samples
- - Terminal Velocity : MOD-Files, Samples
- - Dark Forces : MIDI-Files, Samples
- - Hocus Pocus : PCX/MOD/MIDI/VOC-Files
- - Descent : PCX/HMI-Files
- - Rise Of The Triad : MID/VOC-Files
- and many more
- Demos :
- - Second Reality / Uneatable / Hexapeal / Unreal
- - Holistic / Visions / Warp : diff. MOD-Files
- and all the others I have
-
- Ripper4 cannot found something if the file is crypted like
- the Demo "Crystal Dreams II" by Triton !
- And there are some filetypes found many often but often they are
- not really this filetypes. For example the BMP pic-file.
- The search sign is often be found in normal data-files and so there
- are ripped BMP files which cannot be used, sorry !
