Tangle

A Good-Feel archive tool. Documentation on the format can be found here.

Usage

Use tangle -h or tangle --help to get a list of needed arguments.

Extracting an archive

tangle extract my_file.gfa

or

tangle extract my_file.gfa my_folder

Creating an archive

Good-Feel archives are created with Byte Pair Encoding (bpe), LZ10 (lz10), or no compression at all (leave blank, or none).

Here is an example of a GfArch v3 archive being created:

tangle archive my_folder my_file.gfa 3.0 bpe

The same example, but for GfArch v3.1:

tangle archive my_folder my_file.gfa 3.1 bpe

If you are targeting a specific game, the version and compression types are as follows:

Version	Game	Compression	Tangle arg
2.0	Wario Land: Shake It!	Byte Pair Encoding	2 or 2.0
3.0	Kirby's Epic Yarn	Byte Pair Encoding	3 or 3.0
3.1	Yoshi's Woolly World	Byte Pair Encoding	3.1
3.1	Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World	LZ10	3.1
3.1	Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn	LZ10	3.1

Custom compression

Here is a list of supported custom compression types:

Compression type	Tangle arg
zlib	zlib

Todo - additional GfArch confirmations

Check the following:

• Looksley's Line Up (version: 3.0, compression: unknown)
• Mii Plaza (version: 3.1? compression: bpe?)
• Other Good-Feel titles that use GfArch
