ACA Explorer

Hello,

Don't know if anyone has created one yet but I figured I'll share this small tool i made with everyone. AcaExplorer allows you to view the content of unencrypted Advanced Content Archives and extract files.

Usage:

Run acaexplorer.exe >
Click on [Open Archive] >
Select an *.aca file and click [Open] >
Select one or more files from the listbox >
Click on extract and choose the destination >
Click [Choose] and voila!

Tip: use [CTRL] to select multiple files

The tool is free and can be downloaded from: http://www.levelx.eu

Notes: The program doesn't warn if there is already a file with the same name in the destination map and overwrites. Currently there is a max 16MB limit.

Just tried it with an .aca containing 50 files and they all were recognized but I'll check it out.

Sorry I won't release it anymore since some disks won't have AACS and the tool makes it to easy to steal script..

I removed alot from my container folders and last time I used it I didnt have any issues with file limitations...Since now I only have about 30 files in each aca. levelX can you hit me with a copy though...I messed up a nice .js I had and lost the container folder...I cant figure out where my .js is failing. I had a copy locally here but it got del'd

Thanx!

email is in my sig

Can you fix the bug where it only sees 30-40 files even if there are 100+ files in the .aca

Thanx so much for the tool...it can be very helpful if you misplace things.

I'm thinking about releasing an updated version but only if people are interested in the aca explorer.

Hello LevelX,
I've just released the Open Source Version of VMS (these authoring tools, in the last months it was a little bit quiet around it). May be you are interested. It's at CodePlex: http://www.codeplex.com/VMS. It would be a great honor, if you would help us, to integrate your ACA Explorer in VMS. Please send me an E-mail, if you have got questions. dave.jacobi@igsquerum.de

Best regards
