unrpa

About:

Unrpa is a script to extract files from archives created for the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine.

Comments:

If you have any comments on the script, feel free to e-mail me. I'm always happy to hear about bugs, suggestions, praise, or even flames - whatever floats your boat.

While creating this script, I unexpectedly stumbled into e-politics which you can read about by following the link.

Get it:

The latest version is unrpa 1.1. You will need Python 2.6 to run it.

Usage:

In simple terms you want 'python unrpa -m -p /path/to/extract/to /file/to/extract.rpa'. Most Linux distos should do it perfectly.

Under Windows, you want (into cmd.exe, the command prompt, in the unrpa directory) 'C:\PATH\TO\python.exe unrpa -m -p C:\path\to\extract\to C:\file\to\extract.rpa'.

Under windows the standard install path for python is 'C:\Python26\python.exe'.

For those windows users still unsure, I have prepared a recording showing how to run it under windows. It's so much simpler under linux ;)
