Tasks / FOnline Dat Ripper - Powerful FOnline Dat Utility

« on: June 04, 2022, 05:08 »

I will put the description as is and as I usually do, in QnA form.

Q: What is it?
A: FOnlineDatRipper is a combined utility with archive/view/convert capabilities in one software.

Q: What's the current version?
A: Version's v1.0 -beta1; name "Eternal".

Q: Can you explain capabilities verbosely?
A: Software has capabilities of extracting files from Fallout 2 dat archives, feature to view FRM and ACM files and to convert ACM files to play with the audio player on your host OS.

Q: Where can I get virus scans of the downloaded zip archive?
A: Please go to https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ and upload the archive if you hesitate on the second thought.

Q: Where's help and (or manual) about this one?
A: Available in the menus under "How to use" in the app itself, all operations are described there.

Q: Wait a second, are there any alternatives or similar programs?
A: Yep, but the goal in this one to make the first one to have build with both opening multiple files in one filesystem and embedded FRM/ACM viewer and converter in one.
     Mr. Stalin developed Dat Explorer and there is ACM2WAV as a single console application.
     I can say that Dat Explorer is a good start, that's the application which inspired me, but I desired more of it, much more.
     And sadly that there's no better than console ACM2WAV written in Pascal back in a day.

Q: Is this in development?
A: Yea, I developed it since January and I need to push it to the first solid release.

Q: Who's involved in making of this?
A: Many inspired me, but I did it. I do not seek for a glory. Maybe someone worth to notice. Humbly.

To get started you download & launch the app, you open the default.ini (or .ini located in art > intrface). Then feel free to view & edit the way you like.

Thanks to drot, OdijSuppi and DoctorEex for making such a good interface.
I was using this interface for 4 years before I started making my own and it is based on this interface, in particular.
Authors did the great job, this is exactly what people needed for so long time.

Meanwhile, my goal is also link you to working last version,
PEIOSv4
