This tool is for decompressing and recompressing .OV_ files in The Legend of Dragoon. Files can be decompressed whole or partially, as indicated by the range given between start_block and end_block (end non_inclusive). Partial decompressions will be inserted back into place in the compressed file when compressing. Extracting and decompressing portions of .OV_ files by block or block range allows for pinpoint modding to maximize compatibility with other mods using the same .OV_ file.

Use the commands lodbpe -h, lodbpe decompress -h, and lodbpe compress -h for help on how to use this program

Note: The -b command is specifically for the compressed subfile in S_BTLD.OV_, but is currently largely useless. Because the file is unlikely to be the same length as the original after recompression, attempting to modify and recompress this subfile will render all of the pointers in S_BTLD.OV_ incorrect, breaking the game. Hopefully, I will be able to account for this in the future.
