Rusted Iron Ring
================

Low-level library for exploring From Software games files.

This project is mainly to play with the Rust language, Nom parser, FFI, etc; if
you need an actually used and tested library, see [SoulsFormats][soulsformats].
The main target has been Dark Souls 1 PTDE, but checkout the features section
below.

Features
--------

### Format support

| Type     | Games | Features                                 |
|----------|-------|------------------------------------------|
| BHD5/BDT | DS1   | Load, extract                            |
| DCX      | DS1   | Load, extract                            |
| BND3     | DS1   | Load, extract                            |
| BHF3     | DS1   | Load, extract                            |
| DAT      | KF4   | Load, extract, repack                    |
| PARAMDEF | DS1   | Pretty-print                             |
| PARAM    | DS1   | Pretty-print, optionally with a PARAMDEF |

Formats typically found within DCX files can usually be decompressed on the fly.

Repacking is mostly not supported, maybe one day. It is not that useful when
using [UDSFM][udsfm] and [Yabber][yabber], but if you really need it you can
check out [SiegLib][sieglib].

### Misc

- Encrypted archive name hasher.
- There is a demo Python binding for some `name_hashes` features in the
    `bindings/python` dir, that uses [PyO3][pyo3] and thus requires nightly
    rustc to build.
