24th Aug 2004, 01:19 PM	Examination of various file types in .package files #1
Delphy Original Poster Delphinius The Great Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 8,560 Thanks: 69480 in 16 Posts 26 Achievements View My Journal	Hi All, I've just loaded up some of the Sims 2 Body Shop .package files in Datgen 4, and I've compiled a list of all the different types of files I found, along with possible actual file types. This is just for reference for now, until these can be built into a .package extractor. Type ID: 0C1FE246 = XML Property File 0C560F39 = XML Property File 0C93E3DE = XML Property File 1C4A276C = .Sims2Skin file? 2C1FD8A1 = XML Property File 49596978 = Material file 4C158081 = XML Property File 4E6D6150 = Unknown type 53545223 = Unknown type (seems to link to face/makeup info) 6C4F359D = XML Property File 7BA3838C = Unknown (probably a 3d file or reference) 8C1580B5 = XML Property File 8C93BF6C = XML Property File AC4F8687 = 3d model file (#3807) AC506764 = Image file? (#1220) C9C81B98 = Lighting information E519C933 = Animation file? EBCF3E27 = XML Property file ED534136 = Texture files? FB00791E = Animation or sound file? FC6EB1F7 = Masking/shape file Edit: From casui.package: 856DDBAC = TGA Image file

I will post a better and more complete copy when I have finished. WATTO [email protected] http://www.watto.org
