2007/08/04 / ex4ag

Older tools for this format have some issues so I ended up writing this rather than deal with them. Probably it will work with older games with some minors tweaks ... I'll try it out later.

Note that WAG@ (*.wag) are the same as GAF (*.4ag) and MIKO (*.arc) the same as XARC (*.xarc) ... I was surprised they changed such trivial things and nothing else.

Updated: added a simple tool for the XARC archives...
Updated 1.01: ex4ag now supports japanese filenames (use -exact_filename)
Updated: added a tool to repack XARC archives (requested)
Updated 1.02: ex4ag now forces filenames to be relative due to annoying \\Nas paths. :)
Updated 1.03: ex4ag now strips colons due to absolute local paths (D:\ etc). ex4ag also handles japanese filenames better.
