Expand description
Archives come in various flavors, and the specific variant you’ll need to use depends on which game you’re working with. Learn more by choosing one of tes3, tes4, or fo4.
If you are uncertain of the origins of your archive, then you may use guess_format to find a starting point.
§A note on strings
The Creation Engine absolutely does not handle unicode correctly, and even has some nasty, extant bugs which exist related to characters that utilize the extended ascii range. As such, all strings are marked as binary strings, without encoding (see also BStr or BString). If you must re-encode strings, then, generally speaking, they are encoded using the system code page of whatever computer happened to write the archive. That means English copies of the game are encoded using Windows-1252, Russian copies using Windows-1251, etc. However, this is not a guarantee and is the source of much consternation when writing internationalized applications for the Creation Engine games.
