Introduction

Back to Top

Group File Studio makes it easy to extract files or filetypes from any existing Duke Nukem 3D or Shadow Warrior group file (other games using the group file format are also supported). Below is a screenshot of the Group File Studio window. Click on any part of the screenshot to get a description of what that item does.

Main Window

Back to Top

The main window of Group File Studio shows the user some information about the current group file. The items shown in the main window are as follows:

Group File Contents - Tree View

The contents of the current group file are shown in the tree view on the left hand side of the window. This view shows the different filetypes that exist in the group file, and the individual files that exist under each filetype.

Selected Item Information

This section of the window shows how many files are selected and the total size of the selected files. Multiple files are only selected by clicking on the filetype heading (i.e. - Map Files). The total size is shown in bytes.

Extraction Progress

This section of the screen shows the progress of extracting either a file or a filetype. This is useful when extracting a large filetype or file (such as the .art files).
