Web Grf Viewer

GRF Viewer

 

 

 

Hi there !

 

If you remember, in the past I released a buggy web grf viewer.

It was slow, didn't work with big GRF because of memory issue, can't decode DES encryption, now time to present its new version.

 

Basically this web tool allow you to select your own GRFs and display their contents directly in the browser. Nothing to download.

As its name suggest, it can't write into the GRF, there are currently no API available (for security reason) to have write access to the user computer, so the only point of this tool is to display its content and search on it. There are no way to repack, add or modify files. Just view and extract files.

 

This tool is built using only javascript, html5 and webgl, it is in my point of view a demonstration of what can be done in the web today with new technologies.

It can view as thumbnail some sort of files : bmp, gif, jpeg, tga, spr, pal, and some tools are included to render models and maps or listening audio files.

 

Two possibilities at the start up :

1. Select a GRF (click on "select files", or drag drop your grfs in the box).
   Note: once the page quit or reloading you have to re-select the files, the browser do not remember them.
2. Click on the data folder, in this case, it will show resources from my remote client.
   

 

This tool is an application from roBrowser, it's using roBrowser's core. So if you ever find a bug, I'll be really happy to fix it !

 

Note: it's possible the viewer stop rendering a directory content because it encounter a corrupted file in the GRF (wrong gzip encryption, or invalid file offset) or the file is encrypted.

 

You can test this tool online here: http://www.robrowser.com/prototype/GRF-Viewer/

 

Some preview:

 

 

All feedback are welcome.

Have fun~

its useful  to view spr without installing any app and would be more friendly if

Thank you

 

@Angelmelody

I have seriously no idea how to do this, there is no native command for it in JS, so I guess the only way is to create a function that modify each char of a string depending of the charset, but I lack informations about it.

I got some brainstorm about STR files lately for roBrowser (file to store effects animations), so it's now available in the Grf Viewer :

 

 

Hope you'll like it

its still a bitt buged, but very nice work.

 

do you see any chance to write a tool where we can edit, modify, or create own effects and save them as str files for the client?

@Tepoo

So you notice There are still some informations in the file I'm not sure about, but I expect it to be fix soon (I hope).

I don't think I'll work on a tool to create/edit this files in the near future, too much things to work on currently...

 

@Kbandeleon

Nice suggestion, I'll check it

If there was a problem it should be fix now, also speed up loading apps.

I don't understand your part about the map viewer. The effects aren't in the map view for now (still some work to do to list them).

I love this project.

 

I am using this now since GRF Editor is not working with my current Windows8 Theme, but my only problem with this is I can only extract files 1 by 1?

 

can u make it every folder please?

[KeyWorld 87]

Happy you love it

 

No currently there is no way to extract more than one file at the time. There is no API in the web to access user disk (security concern) to create folder and extract files inside.

 

That's the main reason why it's called "grf viewer" and can't extract folder, repack grf, add files, etc.
