unvcl

A cli tool and lib to extract sound-files from *.vcl files. VCL is a file-format which is mainly used by some early DOS games developed by Epic Megagames.

Building from source

There are currently no binary releases available so you need to build unvcl from source. Clone this repo then run make build_all to build binaries for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Usage

unvcl expects two arguments: The source vcl file and a target directory in to which the samples should be extracted.

Example

Extract all PCM samples from jill1.vcl and store them as WAV file in the current directory

$ unvcl ~/Games/JILL1/jill1.vcl . 

List extracted files

$ ls *.wav
jill1_0.wav   jill1_11.wav  jill1_13.wav  jill1_15.wav  jill1_17.wav  jill1_19.wav  jill1_20.wav  jill1_22.wav  jill1_3.wav  jill1_5.wav  jill1_7.wav  jill1_9.wav
