VaultLib

VaultLib is a fast, open-source and powerful library for processing databases created with Electronic Arts' AttribSys framework.

NOTE: Full documentation and a fully cleaned-up API are in progress.

Motivation

A number of factors played a part in the decision to create this library:

• The existence of solely closed source tools as opposed to open source ones
• Lack of a robust framework that can be extended and tweaked
• Necessity for a framework to support custom tools and processes
• A great desire to learn

Features

• High performance in both loading and saving
• Full AttribSys format support:
  • 64-bit support
  • Big-endian support
  • Legacy (pre-2006) and Modern (2006-onwards) support
  • Supports compressed blobs, static data, etc
• Extensibility is built-in; any game that uses AttribSys can be supported.
  • Flexible type system allows different implementations of data types for specific games
  • AttribSys data structures (such as ClassLoadData and CollectionLoadData) can be overridden with custom implementations
• Easy to integrate into existing software
• Simple API
