Dungeon Keeper 2 file formats

File formats

We are not documenting the formats, no, it is not our goal. And there are other people doing this (whom we are benefiting from also :) ). But loading the various DK II data files are kept separate from the game logic and the engine. It is pure JAVA. And tries to be self documenting. In this page we'll just list & describe the status of the formats in our perspective.

Format	Reverse engineered in %	Comment
WAD archives	100	we can extract and support decompression
HiScores.dat	100	:)
KCS camera sweep data	95	FOV & Near are a bit iffy
BF4 font files	100	also support for the font used in Japanese version
KMF models & animations	95	some parameters are not understood
KWD & KLD map/data files	90	these are huge, some unknown attributes & usage etc.
STD sound archives	95	probably just archives
BANK & SFX sound map & playback events	40	we know the format but usage is not known
SPR sprites	80	not used probably anywhere, we are missing correct palette
STR game strings	95	some parameters in the strings are weirdly indexed
EngineTextures	100	extract & decompress
.444 loading screens	100	decompression
.TGQ videos	100	synchronized sound
