Web GRF viewer

[KeyWorld]

Hi.

Here the GRF Viewer App using in roBrowser's core.
As the old one, it's using latest open technologies (HTML5, Javascript) to open and visualize GRF in your browser, so if it's not working, you have to update your web browser.

 

As the name suggest, it's only possible to view GRF content and extract files from it.

It's not designed to add content or repack GRF because at this point, there is no API to have write access to the user computer.

 

So it's possible to view directly some files : bmp, tga, jpg, gif, sprites, pal, models, maps.

 

At the start up you have two possibilities :

1. Select a GRF (click on "select files", or drag drop your grfs in the box).
2. Click on the data folder, in this case, it will show resources from my remote client.

 

As this tool use roBrowser's core, it will still be up to date and will gain features and performances in the time so if ever you see a bug, just report it.

Note: it's possible the viewer stop rendering a directory content if encounter a corrupt file in the GRF or the file is encrypted.

 

You can test this tool here: http://www.robrowser.com/prototype/GRF-Viewer/

As I said in the first topic:

Don't forget that it's just an unstable abandoned prototype made for fun.

So I don't know if I will update the code, javascript is a little too low to play with GRF

Maybe later, it's not planned right now.

nice work! maybe you should add download button for some cases like you encounter sprite errors so you will just navigate with ease to find the file and download to fix/delete the sprites or file =)

@Xii

If it found an error it will stop displaying files, but you can always download the file you want using the right click menu

If you ever trying to find buggy files in your GRF, I wrote some tools for roBrowser (require you to drag-drop your grf - or click on the box to select them) :

• SPR checker : http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/sprites.html
• ACT checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/action.html
• GAT checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/altitude.html
• GND checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/ground.html
• RSW checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/world.html
• RSM checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/models.html
• STR checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/str.html
• TGA checker: http://demo.robrowser.com/src/Tests/targa.html

@all

I did some modifications, model viewer / str viewer and map viewer should be a bit faster to render files.
