Here we are, the very first release of the new and improved™ SPIRAL!
This isn't anything too fancy but it should get the job done for basic extraction.

What is currently supported:

  • Finding Steam files based on the default locations
  • Finding WAD files in a directory
  • Registering individual WAD files
  • Extracting files selectively from a WAD file
  • Extracting files nicely from a WAD file (auto converting to a nicer format)
  • Listing files in a WAD
  • Converting between file formats

Ready to give it a shot? Well, grab the release and let's see what we can get!

To use this, you'll need to open your operating system's equivalent of a Terminal. For Windows, this is Command Prompt. For OSX, this is Terminal, and for Linux, it's your Terminal.

Type in "java -jar ", then drag in the downloaded SPIRAL jar file. This is standard JAR running mechanics, and it'll be the primary form of running SPIRAL for now, so get used to it!

From here, you'll be presented with a text menu of various options. To see the commands available, type "help", and you can look at what you can do.

Command parameters should be enclosed with speech marks when spaces are present. So to convert a file named DR1 File.pak, you should do convert "DR1 File.pak"
