Is there a way to extract forces? Any kind of hint would be much appreciated. I'm suspecting it has to do something with xrefs.dat. Any hints to parse xrefs?

Hi I came across this project several months ago, and was interested, but never had time to dig into it much. About 1-2 months ago I had a bit of time, and noticed this project hadn't been updated in a while. Thinking this project might be dead, I actually started digging through your code, and building a Kaitai Struct File based on it, that I might be able to use later to try and change/expand/make my own version of this library.

I notice now that the project isn't dead, just was on hiatus, and while I haven't finished these Kaitai Struct files, they still might be useful (and maybe I will get some time to keep working on them). I was wondering if you might be interested in adding them to your repo, or if you think you would use them at all?

If you aren't familiar Katai Struct, you essentially create a YAML file describing a binary file format. You can use the IDE to visualize files as you work on the YAML file. I find it useful when reverse engineering file formats.

You can then use the Katai Struct compiler to generate parsing code in a bunch of different languages, including Python.

Let me know if you are interested, and I'll see if I can clean them up a bit and do a pull request. I've been meaning to clean them up and make the repo public but I just haven't had a chance.

There is a decode error I think error handling system has to be in place

Is there any reason these self._db.commit() lines indented into the for loop?

       log.info("Getting records from ACD Comments file and storing in sqllite database")
        comments_db = DbExtract(os.path.join(self._temp_dir, "Comments.Dat"))
        for record in comments_db.records:
            CommentsRecord(self._cur, record)
            self._db.commit()

        log.info("Getting records from ACD Nameless file and storing in sqllite database")
        nameless_db = DbExtract(os.path.join(self._temp_dir, "Nameless.Dat"))
        for record in nameless_db.records:
            NamelessRecord(self._cur, record)
            self._db.commit()

I'm trying to extract some I/O bit descriptors. Like the image below.

Any ideas on how to link individual comment/description to tag or a component?

The id's that can be extracted from comments.dat doesn't seem to have a relation to components or other parts.

This is really cool!!!

Do you guys have any knowledge of old? RSS files. I would really like to beable to read those
