An archive format used in OHRRPGCE and possibly other video game engines and/or other programs.
Identification
None in general.
A compiled HamsterSpeak program will start with "HS", followed by three null bytes, two variable bytes (these are part of the lump data size; see below), and then the ASCII text "HamsterSpeak".
Description
A Hamster archive consists of zero or more lumps concatenated together (with no delimiters or global header/footer), where a lump consists of the following three parts:
- Null-terminated ASCII filename
- PDP-endian 32-bit data size (measured in bytes)
- Data of this lump
