Utility: python cap reader

I made a python module to load/save cap files last saved in 0.99.96 or 0.99.97.

Here is a example that extracts all the images out of another cap:

I'll post more examples of the module's use here as I come up with them.

Interesting! If you could make this export even a rudimentary C2 project, I think you'd gain a whole lot of fans

What are the pre-requisites for this?

I have build 0.99.97, Python 2.5 but I still get an error running your example: "ImportError: no module named capreader"

I believe you have to use Python 2.6 since Construct uses this one

It has all the required files included. Just extract all the files into a directory before running the cap. The example should be able to find "capreader" because it's in the same directory as the example cap.

Edit:

No python install should be needed. Any needed python modules are included with the Construct install with the exception of "capreader" which is included in the zip.

Thats what I thought. I unzipped your files to their own folder 'as-is' and ran the imagedump.cap, which is when I got the error.

Add this line to the top of the script:

sys.path.append(System.AppPath)

You could also try saving the cap. That should update the cap's folder info.

Appending the script sorted it

I wasn't particularly interested in the cap, just the way you're referencing in the python script.

Many thanks, R0J0hound.

Here is a utility to fix caps where adding a new object removes another. It also has a newer version of capreader.py with many tweaks and fixes.
