Help with .lz file format - Acfusion - 07-15-2021
Hey I'm having a hard trying to find a way to decompress lz. files for ds models and I can barely find any info about them and I tied several decompression progarms and none of them work. Any advice ?
RE: Help with .lz file format - scurest - 07-15-2021
If it's using the DS's default LZ compression, there's almost certain to be a 10 or 11 byte near the start of the file in a hex editor. DSDecmp is the best thing for DS files, it can do lots of compression formats. You can also shove it into apicula and see if it finds anything.

You got any idea how to make it decompress because I did try it out before but, the problem is I can't figure out how to properly command it to decompress it.
RE: Help with .lz file format - scurest - 07-15-2021
They're both command line programs. Run them with no args to see instructions. With DSDecmp, do
dsdecmp.exe input_file output_file
With apicula
apicula.exe extract input_file -o output_dir

Can you write an example on how it should be formated with an actual file I think that is what confusiing me

let's say you have Compressed_Model and want Decompressed_Model or Output_Folder
With DSDecmp:
dsdecmp.exe Compressed_Model Decompressed_Model
With apicula:
apicula.exe extract Compressed_Model -o Output_Folder
