Unpacks and repacks the .wad&.wix file pairs from the game Spelunky

SpelunkyWadUtility v1.2

Unpacks and repacks the .wad&.wix file pairs from the game Spelunky by Mossmouth

Tested on Python 2.7 and Python 3.3. Older versions might work but YMMV. Update your Python if you're having problems.

Usage

• Copy the .py files to the directory with the .wad file you want to mess with.
  • This could be "..\Spelunky\Data\Textures" for an example for textures.
• To unpack, run unpack.py.
• To repack modified files, dump them in the repack subdirectory as is. Don't make any extra directories there.
• Run repack.py, which will rebuild the .wad file.

Notes

• If you made a booboo, there are backups made on the first unpack named something like .wad.orig.
• You can run the included convenience script restore_original.py to move them over the current .wad.
• In case of game updates that change the .wad file you've modified, I'd suggest doing this:
  • Make sure you got at least version 1.1 of my scripts
  • Run restore_original.py script to get rid of the old .origs.
  • Go on Steam and "Verify integrity of game cache" or get the new files some other way, if you downloaded from GOG for an example.
  • Run repack.py to repack your modifications over the now updated .wad
