GBX-REHexPlugin

A REHex plugin for the .Gbx (GameBox) file format.

About

This plugin will automaticall detect if a Gbx file was loaded and will offer to analyze it for you.

It will make comments for:

• Version
• Body compression, type, etc.
• Class ID
• User data (chunk headers and chunk data)
• Reference table (with nested folder comments)
• Mark every node terminator (0xfacade01) in the body (if decompressed).

How to use

Using the plugin is super simple.
If you open a GBX file, the plugin will automatically detect it and offer to analyse it for you.
Alternatively, you can use the Analyse GBX option in the Tools menu.
The plugin will go through the file and make comments in important sections.
(Warning: large files might freeze the program for a while and it would look like the editor is not responding, but it's actually taking a long time to find node terminators.)

You can change some settings in the gbx/plugin.lua file.

How to install

Copy the gbx folder to your REHex plugins folder.
You can find it in:

  Windows
      The Plugins folder alongside rehex.exe
  Linux
      ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/rehex/plugins/ (usually ~/.local/share/rehex/plugins/)
      ${LIBDIR}/rehex/ (usually /usr/lib/rehex/
  macOS
      The Contents/PlugIns directory in the application bundle.
