'''LZEXE''' is a utility that compresses an executable file into a smaller, self-extracting form. It was used in most early [[:Category:id Software|id Software]] and [[:Category:Apogee|Apogee]] games, and many others. LZEXE compressed executables can be unpacked by a few different utilities, the most widely used being [[UNLZEXE]].<br />
<br />
An LZEXE compressed executable can be recognized by the presence of the tag "LZ" at offset 0x1C in the .EXE file, followed by a version number that is either "09" or "91". Such executables must be decompressed before any useful inspection or hacking of the .EXE can take place.<br />
<br />
Note that some programs change the LZ91 signature to disguise the fact that LZEXE has been used. If there are four sensible-looking characters at the same offset there's a good chance the file has been compressed with LZEXE and had its signature changed. Luckily most decompression utilities don't look at this so they can decompress the file anyway. UNLZEXE looks at the .exe entry point where the decompression routine sits, and compares this to known LZEXE decompressors to identify the version.<br />
<br />
There are three known variants of LZEXE:<br />
<br />
* Version 0.90: First release, supported by most decompressors.<br />
* Version 0.91: Most popular release, supported by most decompressors.<br />
* Version 0.91e: Latest version available, but still listed as version 0.91. It is referred here as 0.91e as this is one of the download links on the author's website. The decompression code in this version contains two very small changes which prevents UNLZEXE from recognising it. Support for decompressing this version has been added to [https://github.com/Malvineous/gamecompjs/blob/master/compress/cmp-lzexe.js Camoto's gamecompjs]. The actual compression algorithm has not changed from 0.91 so supporting this variant merely requires detecting the altered decompression routine.<br />

== Game info ==<br />
<br />
'''ZZT''' is a game creation system created by Tim Sweeney in 1991, the first game developed and published by Potomac Computer Systems (later Epic Megagames, now Epic Games.) There were 4 worlds released with the commercial version of the game: TOWN, CAVES, CITY, and DUNGEONS. The shareware version of ZZT came with just TOWN. In all versions of the game, the built-in world editor is fully functional (however, it will not edit saved games or locked worlds natively.)<br />
<br />
Later, [[Super ZZT]] was released based on this engine.<br />
<br />
== Debug mode ==<br />
<br />
In all versions, the cheat menu can be opened by pressing ? and typing in a code. In versions prior to v3.2, standard cheats will not work until the +debug cheat is used. This also enables the display of how much memory is available on the heap, in bytes. In the upper-right corner, it will show the letter 'm' followed by this value. OOP code on the currently shown board and the game's entire compressed board data consume heap memory.<br />
<br />
== Versions ==<br />
<br />
The latest version of the game is v3.2. Other versions of the game that can be found are v3.1, v3.0, and v2.0. Aside from improvements in input handling and visual appearance, cheat availability and copyright messages, there are no observable differences between these versions.<br />

|-<br />
| 3.2<br />
| 47,764 (96,080)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Version 2.0 ===<br />
<br />
The first available version. Uses standard text mode with disconnected block graphics (1 empty pixel column between characters). The standard keyboard buffer is used, so holding down arrows and other such keys will cause the action to be repeated even after the key is released. Cheats require the ?+debug code to be entered.<br />
<br />
=== Version 3.0 ===<br />
<br />
In this version, a refined keyboard buffer is used, so releasing arrow keys will stop the player from continuing to move after the key is released.<br />
<br />
=== Version 3.1 ===<br />
<br />
The ZZT.CFG format has changed, nothing else noticeable.<br />
<br />
=== Version 3.2 ===<br />
<br />
This is the final official version. The ZZT.CFG format changed again. A connected graphics mode is used (no empty pixel column) making board art a lot easier on the eyes. ?+debug is no longer required to use cheats. This is the version most recommended for playing any game worlds, official or otherwise.<br />
<br />
== File formats ==<br />
<br />
* [[ZZT Format#Board Format|BRD Format]] - Board format. This is stored exactly the same as in a world, but it's just one board.<br />
* [[CFG Format (ZZT)|CFG Format]] - ZZT.CFG contains the startup configuration and serial number.<br />
* [[DAT Format (ZZT)|DAT Format]] - In 3.0 and later, ZZT.DAT contains help files and end screen messages. This is not present in 2.0; the files are stored in the directory.<br />
* [[HI Format (ZZT)|HI Format]] - High scores.<br />
* [[Binary Text Format (ZZT)|HLP Format]] - In 2.0, these are standard text files. In 3.0 and later, they are encoded differently.<br />
* [[Binary Text Format (ZZT)|MSG Format]] - In 2.0, these are standard text files. In 3.0 and later, they are encoded differently.<br />
* [[ZZT Format|SAV Format]] - Saved games, 100% identical to world files except a byte in the header.<br />
* [[ZZT Format]] - World format.<br />
<br />
== The Reconstruction of ZZT ==<br />
<br />
the developer Adrian Siekierka released the "reconstructed" source code of ZZT ~August, 2020<br />
<br />
Quote:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The Reconstruction of ZZT is a reverse-engineered recreation of the source code to the last official release of ZZT, ZZT 3.2. The output executable is byte-for-byte identical with said release, which means that the source code accurately represents the original engine's behavior.</blockquote><br />

[[CC1 Format]] is a container of compressed data blocks used by several games developed (not only published) by '''Infogrames Europe SA''' around ~1988-1992, used to store game executables, graphics, language texts and sounds. The files usually have a <tt>.CC1</tt> extension, though some variations like <tt>.1</tt> and <tt>.C1</tt> also occur. One game, [[Hostage: Rescue Mission]], uses a <tt>.PXI</tt> extension.<br />
<br />
The files have no specific identifiable information header to detect if the file is a CC1 file. Usually, the only hint is the file extension.<br />
<br />
There is a variation of the CC1 format without the ability to contain multiple compressed blocks but just one, sometimes using the extension CC0<br />
<br />
CC1 and CC0 using the same compression algorithm<br />

[[CC1 Format]] is a container of compressed data blocks used by several games developed (not only published) by '''Infogrames Europe SA''' around ~1988-1992, used to store game executables, graphics, language texts and sounds. The files usually have a <tt>.CC1</tt> extension, though some variations like <tt>.1</tt> and <tt>.C1</tt> also occur. One game, [[Hostage: Rescue Mission]], uses a <tt>.PXI</tt> extension.<br />
<br />
The files have no specific identifiable information header to detect if the file is a CC1 file. Usually, the only hint is the file extension.<br />
<br />
There is a variation of the CC1 format without the ability to contain multiple compressed blocks but just one, sometimes using the extension CC0<br />
<br />
CC1 and CC0 using the same compression algorithm<br />

<div>== Native resolution ==<br />
Hi Mysterioso - thanks for all the things you are contributing! When you get a chance, would you mind re-uploading [[:File:Witchaven.png]] as 320x200, assuming that's the game's native res? It looks like it's been double-sized to 640x400, whereas the screenshots here are all in their native resolution. Otherwise, great to see all the info you're adding! Thanks again. -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] ([[User talk:Malvineous|talk]]) 05:30, 26 September 2015 (UTC)<br />
: You're welcome! I've corrected that and added a few more; it's probably something worth mentioning in the guidelines, though. -- [[User:Mysterioso|Mysterioso]] ([[User talk:Mysterioso|talk]]) 17:41, 26 September 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Windows 9x games ==<br />
Saw the thing about Windows 9x games on your page, decided to give my two cents. They are a bit of an ambiguous area, but seem mostly allowed, especially since there are such a large amount of DOS games with Win95 ports that remain 99% identical in modding in both versions (Doom95, C&C95, WC2 BNet etc). This may be stretching it a little, but personally, I've been considering the cutoff point of what to consider "classic games modding" to be around the year 2000. It marks the end of most compression and optimisation, and the start of standardisation of file formats. At that point, there's a very wide abandonment of both indexed graphics and proprietary compression schemes, and a lot of in-house file formats that were constantly updated throughout the 90s were just thrown out. Proprietary file formats remained a thing, of course, but with the advent of the DVD era, barely any of them still bothered with compression, and with the appearance of DRM it seemed game devs also became less concerned with obfuscating the actual files. To me personally, it's the point it all becomes a lot less interesting ;) -[[User:Nyerguds|Nyerguds]] ([[User talk:Nyerguds|talk]]) 09:01, 2 March 2022 (GMT)<br />
<br />
: Totally agree with this 100%. To add further, if it's a popular Windows game in the modding world (like say Quake II) then there is probably nothing to gain from adding it here, as there is plenty of modding information available elsewhere. However if it's a lesser known game and information is hard to find, then I don't mind it being added here even if it's Win 3.x or Win95. -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] ([[User talk:Malvineous|talk]]) 02:18, 11 April 2022 (GMT)<br />

== Modding tips ==<br />
<br />
Hey I just noticed you have added some .exe modifications to [[Heretic/Modding Tips]]. I wonder if you could create a new page called [[Heretic Executable]] and put those there instead, then add an entry to the [[Heretic]] file formats section to link to that new page? Just because those .exe modifications are more than just tips on how to use modding tools, they're actual modding information that would be useful to anyone writing their own modding tools. Thanks! -- [[User:Malvineous|Malvineous]] ([[User talk:Malvineous|talk]]) 15:48, 25 April 2022 (GMT)<br />

== EGA/VGA? ==<br />
<br />
i saw you changed one of my notes in [[Alpha Waves]] about EGA/VGA configuration difference, but i don't understand what you mean<br />
<br />
both the EGA and VGA code path of Alpha Waves is using int 10h set-video-mode 0dh - that means 320x200 at 16 colors (4 pages)<br />
this is (to my understanding) a EGA introduced mode (which is still useable with later VGA cards) and even the VGA configuration<br />
runs on pure EGA systems (with a different palett) - so its seems to me that the original author just added the VGA config for<br />
"advertising" but not because the game needs real VGA hardware<br />
<br />
im reversing the game so i've got the clean exectuable without using the loader that do not allow using the VGA config<br />
if there is no VGA hardware available - but the game itself seems to be only EGA code<br />
or do you say that its everything EGA code but the palette stuff uses some VGA specials?<br />
<br />
maybe you can explain in more detail what your note-change+comment should tell me :)<br />
[[User:LowLevelMahn|LowLevelMahn]] ([[User talk:LowLevelMahn|talk]]) 06:12, 20 August 2022 (GMT)<br />
<br />
: Sure, I'll try. Do note that even my oldest DOS hardware has VGA-capable graphics cards, so if someone with a true EGA card wants to contradict this, they're probably right.<br />
<br />
: To give the shortest possible summary I can come up with, mode 0Dh on an EGA card is limited to the 16 default colors, but on a VGA card it's possible to use the VGA palette registers to change those colors. So while the game might work fine if you force it to run VGA mode on EGA (if this has only been tested on an emulator, I wouldn't be too assured that it won't crash on real hardware), it would be inaccurate to say that it isn't taking advantage of the VGA hardware capabilities, since it is using the VGA palette hardware.<br />
<br />
: Since you have a disassembly you can probably check that the difference is in having some commands to alter the palette registers (perhaps it's done in a pre-loading routine). Those would likely be the same commands you would use to adjust palette in mode 13h, so check for outputs to ports 0x03C8 and 0x3C9. These would, AFAIK, not work on a pure EGA card.<br />
<br />
: For a little more background, as I understand it mode 0Dh on EGA can only adjust palettes in so far as it may be possible to swap the associations of the 16 default colors around. EGA did apparently have some palette adjustment capabilities on mode 10h, which is 640x350 and allows a choice of 16 colors from 64 possibilities. 10h was somewhat rarely used, however, mainly for strategy games where the slower rendering wasn't as much of an offset to having higher resolution and more color freedom.<br />
<br />
: Using a 16-color mode with a VGA palette wasn't super unusual for games that were ported from the Atari ST or the Amiga. As I understand it, graphics modes on those systems were fairly commonly 16-color with a diverse choice of colors that could be put into a palette. Retaining that setup for VGA probably made sense since if your graphics were already designed for a limit of 16 colors (just with fairly free choice of which colors), using a 16-color mode let you get two pixels for every byte (instead of the one pixel per byte you'd get on 256-color indexed mode) thus allowing you a handy savings on RAM and disk space usage for your graphics.<br />
<br />
: Unfortunately it's a bit difficult to get definitive answers about EGA cards, since both the cards themselves and information on them is rather rare these days. A good reference that I looked at is Richard F. Ferraro's "Programmer's Guide to the EGA and VGA Cards" which has some pretty comprehensive technical info on EGA, VGA, and Super VGA cards with lists for modes, interrupts, etc. -- [[User:Mysterioso|Mysterioso]] ([[User talk:Mysterioso|talk]]) 16:32, 20 August 2022 (GMT)<br />
<br />
:: You're right the code sets the color palette using port 3c8/3c9, so its EGA video mode + VGA color palette changing -- [[User:LowLevelMahn|LowLevelMahn]] ([[User talk:LowLevelMahn|talk]]) 19:16, 20 August 2022 (GMT)<br />
<br />
::: I think i found EGA Palett-changing code in Alpha Waves: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=91350 - i though that EGA colors can't be changed, or?

[[CC1 Format]] is a container of compressed data blocks used by several games developed (not only published) by '''Infogrames Europe SA''' around ~1988-1992, used to store game executables, graphics, language texts and sounds. The files usually have a <tt>.CC1</tt> extension, though some variations like <tt>.1</tt> and <tt>.C1</tt> also occur. One game, [[Hostage: Rescue Mission]], uses a <tt>.PXI</tt> extension.<br />
<br />
The files have no specific identifiable information header to detect if the file is a CC1 file. Usually, the only hint is the file extension.<br />
<br />
There is a variation of the CC1 format without the ability to contain multiple compressed blocks but just one, sometimes using the extension CC0<br />
<br />
CC1 and CC0 using the same compression algorithm<br />

[[CC1 Format]] is a container of compressed data blocks used by several games developed (not only published) by '''Infogrames Europe SA''' around ~1988-1992, used to store game executables, graphics, language texts and sounds. The files usually have a <tt>.CC1</tt> extension, though some variations like <tt>.1</tt> and <tt>.C1</tt> also occur. One game, [[Hostage: Rescue Mission]], uses a <tt>.PXI</tt> extension.<br />
<br />
The files have no specific identifiable information header to detect if the file is a CC1 file. Usually, the only hint is the file extension.<br />
<br />
There is a variantion of the CC1 format without the ability to contain multiple compressed blocks but just one, sometimes using the extension CC0<br />

[[CC1 Format]] is a container of compressed data blocks used by several games developed (not only published) by '''Infogrames Europe SA''' around ~1988-1992, used to store game executables, graphics, language texts and sounds. The files usually have a <tt>.CC1</tt> extension, though some variations like <tt>.1</tt> and <tt>.C1</tt> also occur. One game, [[Hostage: Rescue Mission]], uses a <tt>.PXI</tt> extension.<br />
<br />
The files have no specific identifiable information header to detect if the file is a CC1 file. Usually, the only hint is the file extension.<br />

[[Microsoft EXEPACK]] is a an executable file compressor used by several classic games. <br />
<br />
EXEPACK compression could be added to a program by <tt>LINK.EXE /EXEPACK</tt><br />
switch or by invoking <tt>EXEPACK.EXE</tt> utility, that was distributed with MASM.<br />
<br />

<br />
The exepack unpacker first copies itself to the location stored in <tt>dest_len</tt>.<br />
(the value in <tt>dest_len</tt> also equals the unpacked exe's size in paragraphs).<br />
It then executes a retf to the new location and starts unpacking.<br />
The unpacking algorithm works like this:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="c"><br />
int srcPos; /* start at the end of the packed exe, because the unpacker works downwards */<br />
int dstPos;<br />
int commandByte, lengthWord, fillByte;<br />
<br />
/* skip all 0xff bytes (they're just padding to make the packed exe's size a multiple of 16 */<br />
while (*srcPos == 0xff) {<br />
srcPos--;<br />
}<br />
<br />
/* unpack */<br />
do {<br />
commandByte = *(srcPos--);<br />
<br />
switch (commandByte & 0xFE) {<br />
/* (byte)value (word)length (byte)0xb0 */<br />
/* writes a run of <length> bytes with a value of <value> */<br />
case 0xb0:<br />
lengthWord = (*(srcPos--))*0x100;<br />
lengthWord += *(srcPos--);<br />
fillByte = *(srcPos--);<br />
for (i = 0; i < lengthWord; i++) {<br />
*(dstPos--) = fillByte;<br />
}<br />
break;<br />
/* (word)length (byte)0xb2 */<br />
/* copies the next <length> bytes */<br />
case 0xb2:<br />
lengthWord = (*(srcPos--))*0x100;<br />
lengthWord += *(srcPos--);<br />
for (i = 0; i < lengthWord; i++) {<br />
*(dstPos--) = *(srcPos--);<br />
}<br />
break;<br />
/* unknown command */<br />
default:<br />
printf("Unknown command %x at position %x\n", commandByte, srcPos);<br />
exit(1);<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
} while ((commandByte & 1) != 1); /* lowest bit set => last block */<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
* The sizes of both the packed exe and the unpacked exe are multiples of 16<br />
* The unpacker code unpacks the exe onto itself, i.e. the unpacked exe has the same starting address (in memory) as the packed exe (in memory).<br />

<div>CC1 File format is a container of compressed data blocks used by several games developed (not only published) by "Infogrames Europe SA"<br />
used to store game executables, graphics, language texts and sounds<br />
<br />
the compression algorithm is known and there is a uncompress tool in C/C++ available<br />
<br />
only the container format and compression is known - the content of the uncompressed blocks are game related<br />
<br />
the files got no signature in the header or something to detect if the file is a CC1 file - mostly the file extension is a hint<br />
or checking if any of the game files can be uncompressed without errors<br />

[[Microsoft EXEPACK]] is a an executable file compressor used by several classic games. <br />
<br />
EXEPACK compression could be added to a program by <tt>LINK.EXE /EXEPACK</tt><br />
switch or by invoking <tt>EXEPACK.EXE</tt> utility, that was distributed with MASM.<br />
<br />
==Games using EXEPACK==<br />
Some games utilize EXEPACK as an inner layer of their compression:<br />
<br />
* [[Ultima 4]]<br />
* [[King's Bounty]]<br />

[[Microsoft EXEPACK]] is a an executable file compressor used by several classic games. <br />
<br />
EXEPACK compression could be added to a program by <tt>LINK.EXE /EXEPACK</tt><br />
switch or by invoking <tt>EXEPACK.EXE</tt> utility, that was distributed with MASM.<br />
<br />
==Games using EXEPACK==<br />

0x105 unpacker code<br />

??? packed reloc table (see below for more information)<br />
<br />
offset to packed exe = header * 16 (from exe header)<br />
length of packed exe = CS:IP (from exe header)<br />
length of packed reloc table = exepack_size - dest_len (from exepack variables)<br />
</pre><br />
===EXEPACK variables===<br />
Variables used by the exepack unpacker (all except <tt>mem_start</tt> are pre-initialized):<br />
<br />
{|class="wikitable"<br />
!Data type!!Name!!Description<br />
|-<br />
|[[UINT16LE]]||real_IP||real start address (offset)<br />
|-<br />
|[[UINT16LE]]||real_CS||real start address (offset)<br />
|-<br />
|[[UINT16LE]]||mem_start||start of the exe in memory (segment)<br />
|-<br />
|[[UINT16LE]]||exepack_size||size of <tt>unpacker vars + unpacker code + error string + packed reloc table</tt> in bytes<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
|[[UINT16LE]]||signature||"RB" (magic number of exepacked files)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Relocation Table ===<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
packed relocation table = section_0, section_1, ..., section_0xf<br />
section = number_of_entries [can be zero], set of entry [can be empty]<br />
number_of_entries = unsigned word (16 bits)<br />
entry = unsigned word (16 bits)<br />
<br />
An entry in section n patches the segment value at:<br />
0x1000*n + entry (relative to the start of the exe in memory)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Decompression algorithm ==<br />
<br />
The exepack unpacker first copies itself to the location stored in <tt>dest_len</tt>.<br />
(the value in <tt>dest_len</tt> also equals the unpacked exe's size in paragraphs).<br />
It then executes a retf to the new location and starts unpacking.<br />
The unpacking algorithm works like this:<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="c"><br />
int srcPos; /* start at the end of the packed exe, because the unpacker works downwards */<br />
int dstPos;<br />
int commandByte, lengthWord, fillByte;<br />
<br />
/* skip all 0xff bytes (they're just padding to make the packed exe's size a multiple of 16 */<br />
while (*srcPos == 0xff) {<br />
srcPos--;<br />
}<br />
<br />
/* unpack */<br />
do {<br />
commandByte = *(srcPos--);<br />
<br />
switch (commandByte & 0xFE) {<br />
/* (byte)value (word)length (byte)0xb0 */<br />
/* writes a run of <length> bytes with a value of <value> */<br />
case 0xb0:<br />
lengthWord = (*(srcPos--))*0x100;<br />
lengthWord += *(srcPos--);<br />
fillByte = *(srcPos--);<br />
for (i = 0; i < lengthWord; i++) {<br />
*(dstPos--) = fillByte;<br />
}<br />
break;<br />
/* (word)length (byte)0xb2 */<br />
/* copies the next <length> bytes */<br />
case 0xb2:<br />
lengthWord = (*(srcPos--))*0x100;<br />
lengthWord += *(srcPos--);<br />
for (i = 0; i < lengthWord; i++) {<br />
*(dstPos--) = *(srcPos--);<br />
}<br />
break;<br />
/* unknown command */<br />
default:<br />
printf("Unknown command %x at position %x\n", commandByte, srcPos);<br />
exit(1);<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
} while ((commandByte & 1) != 1); /* lowest bit set => last block */<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
* The sizes of both the packed exe and the unpacked exe are multiples of 16<br />
* The unpacker code unpacks the exe onto itself, i.e. the unpacked exe has the same starting address (in memory) as the packed exe (in memory).<br />

<div>Does anyone here got an idea what compression is used for CC1 files? is that something known - LZW or variant of it?<br />
<br />
There is a [https://github.com/LowLevelMahn/alpha_waves_loader/blob/main/tools/uncompress_cc1.cpp C/C++ Linux/Windows source standalone tool to uncompress CC1 files] in the Tools-Section that is a direct port of the reversed algorithm (working with the Alpha Waves game and checked agains several other games)<br />
