u Files

[Newbie00]

How would I extract the contents from a .u file?

I think you need a program called UTPT, google the word.

I have UTPT but i can't "decompile" on anything. I get an error about something with the size of the array.

Maybe I was wrong. Let's wait an hour or two for other members to help here. Or go in IRC for live help.

UTPT does decompile SOME parts of the .U files, however, not fully and not ALL parts of them. It also does not Decompile .U files into the .UC base form, it does let you look at the code but you can't extract it or decompile it like UCC does.
Look in in the Downloads and Walkthrough for ByteHacking tuts, best bet to learn is there.

I wish UTPT was open source, problem would be solved. Just might have to get back into Delphi and figure this out for my self ;)

decompressing .u files is very simple via uccp.exe,many of us tried to use the ut uccp.exe on americas army files,which dint work sadly.So as long as you dont want to unpack aao .u files u can use uccp.exe

Basically the same function as UTPT. It was programmed in Delphi I believe and there is source available. ;)

hmm i cant find choco package on google?

I'm not familiar with uccp.exe where might I get it?

The UTPT 2.0 beta 5 (the last one) is pretty buggy (the author admitted this also in his forums) but I've found out that if you choose for the game "Lineage 2" or "Desert Thunder" before you try to decompile an aao .u file, the decompilation works way better.

It also does not Decompile .U files into the .UC base form, it does let you look at the code but you can't extract it or decompile it like UCC does.


When youve suceeded to decompile the whole class, you can copy it (i.e. CTRL+C) and paste it in any .txt file you wish. So you get a .uc file for this class....
Now to compile this class (or any other uscript code) for aao, there will be needed some more "magic"...

Very nice find, I wouldn't have thought of that on my own. As far as the "more magic" I posted a thread in hopes to get an answer but didn't realize I was starting a thread about warez, which is a no no here.

If I had the skills and the knowledge, I'd write my own UCC like utlity for AAO. Since I'm a noob and have to figure out where to even start doing this, it will be a long time before that utility is coded. Hell, the devs will probably release mod tools before I can figure it out...

Okay, I've found that chosing Clive Barker's Undying also helps when trying to decompile some thing that dont work with Army Operations.

I use utpt to search u files and decompile some parts of code then click and highlight code in window pane and ctrl+c then goto a blank txt file and right click and paste seems to work ok for me but not all code in u files can be decompiled...

not sure if this helps you out but this is one technique I use

Yeah I have almost all of AGP_Characters.U decompiled right now thanks to daenerys info about switching the game type before decompling. Man I wish UTPT would update for 2.2, still no replies on his site to my post and now his forums are down..... :|

slim chances basic. ACB is a very lasy guy (and a genious also). and i have an impression he has better things to do for the life...
