BioWare ERF (.erf, .mod, .nwm, .sav) archive extractor.

= Description =

'''unerf''' extract BioWare ERF archives, found in many BioWare games as files with the extension .erf, .mod, .nwm or .sav. Moreover, in some games, a .rim file might be an ERF instead of a RIM.

There's several different versions of ERFs. This tool supports the version [https://github.com/xoreos/xoreos-docs/blob/master/specs/bioware/ERF_Format.pdf V1.0] (Neverwinter Nights), V1.1 (Neverwinter Nights 2), [http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/ERF#Version_2.0 V2.0] (Dragon Age: Origins), [http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/ERF#Version_2.2 V2.2] (Dragon Age: Origins) and [http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/ERF#Version_3.0 V3.0] (Dragon Age II).

'''Supported features:'''
* Archives with stripped filenames. The name hash is searched for in a big lookup table. If it is not found, the file is listed and extracted as a hexadecimal representation of the hash
* zlib-compressed files are supported and transparently decompressed
* Blowfish-encrypted archives are supported and are, provided you know the password, transparently decrypted
* Archives that contain full paths are supported. You can either strip the directory and extract the plain filenames, or substitute the directory separator with a '='
* Archives with numerical extension IDs belonging to different games can be aliased accordingly.

'''Unsupported features:'''
* XOR-encrypted archives
* Creating directories when extracting archives with full paths. Please also note that by stripped the directories of files in these archives, you might overwrite already extracted files
