How it works

Krome Studios developed a proprietary archive file format for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. It's straightforward and unencrypted. The approximate file format is below.

RKV Archive
│   Data Block                   ; Contains the contents of all files
│   
└───File Entry Block             ; Contains a collection of file entries
│      File Name                 ; Name of the file (not a path)
│      File Size                 ; Size of the file
│      Directory Entry Index     ; Index of the parent directory with the Directory Entry Block
│      Data Block Offset         ; Pointer to file contents in Data Block
│   
└───Directory Entry Block        ; Contains a collection of directory entries
│      Directory Path            ; Directory path (i.e. "Shaders\")
│   
│   File Count                   ; Number of entries in File Entry Block
│   Directory Count              ; Number of entries in Directory Entry Block
