This page hosts a formal specification of .agg file format of Heroes of Might and Magic using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for Ruby generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Ruby runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The Ruby runtime library can be installed from RubyGems:

gem install kaitai-struct

Code

Parse a local file and get structure in memory:

data = HeroesOfMightAndMagicAgg.from_file("path/to/local/file.agg")

Or parse structure from a string of bytes:

bytes = "\x00\x01\x02..."
data = HeroesOfMightAndMagicAgg.new(Kaitai::Struct::Stream.new(bytes))

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.num_files # => get num files
