SoulFu Data Packer/Unpacker

A command-line utility for packing and unpacking SoulFu game data files (.sdf format).

Overview

This tool allows you to:

• Pack a directory of game assets into a single .sdf data file
• Unpack an existing .sdf file back into individual files
• Handle various file types used by the SoulFu game with proper obfuscation

Building

To compile the program, simply run:

make

This will generate the executable sdp.

Usage

sdp [options]

Options

Option	Description
-h	Display help information
-p	Pack a directory into an SDF file
-u	Unpack an SDF file to a directory
-i <path>	Specify input path (directory for packing, SDF file for unpacking)
-o <path>	Specify output path (SDF file for packing, directory for unpacking)
-n	Convert \0 to LF and vice versa for text/SRC files (line ending conversion)

Default Paths

• When packing (-p): Input defaults to sfd/, output defaults to datafile.sdf
• When unpacking (-u): Input defaults to datafile.sdf, output defaults to sfd/

Examples

1. Pack a directory into an SDF file:

   sdp -p -i my_assets/ -o game.sdf

2. Unpack an SDF file:

   sdp -u -i game.sdf -o extracted/

3. Pack with line ending conversion for text files:

   sdp -p -n -i assets/ -o data.sdf

Notes

• The tool creates the output directory when unpacking (fails if it already exists)
• Line ending conversion (-n flag) only affects TXT and SRC file types
• File names in the index are limited to 8 characters (plus 3-character extension)
• All numeric values in the index are stored in big-endian format
