Dump the data from .pak files for GFDM V8

I decided not to push this to PyPI for now, so if you want to use it you can just install it into a virtualenv like so:

cd pakdump
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .

Then you can use the two commands: pakdump and mdbdump. Please see the documentation for more information.

Extract files from the GFDM V8 data files.

Decrypt and extract the data out of the mbde.bin data file which can be extracted from the data files with pakdump.

Read in JSON encoded MusicDB data, encrypt it and dump it into the binary mdbe.bin format.

First you want to decrypt your mdbe.bin file with mdbdump:

$ mdbdump -i mdbe.bin -o . -f -t JSON -p
Writing: /Users/573dev/Documents/pakdump/mdb.json

Then you can open up mdb.json and modify it to your hearts content. When you are done, and want to convert it back into mdbe.bin you can use mdbcreate:

$ mdbcreate -i mdb.json -o mdbe_new.bin -f
Writing: /Users/573dev/Documents/pakdump/mdbe_new.bin

Now just replace the original mdbe.bin with the new mdbe_new.bin (remember to rename it to mdbe.bin) and you should be good to go.
