This is a small project by Gareth Latty (Lattyware).
Unrpa is a script to extract files from archives created for the Ren'Py Visual Novel Engine.
If you have any comments on the script, feel free to open an issue on github.
While creating this script, I unexpectedly stumbled into e-politics which you can read about by following the link.
The latest release can be found on GitHub. You will need Python 3.x to run it.
You can also check the source out on github.
You need to use Python 3.x. Older releases required Python 2.x, so there may be contradictory information around.
In simple terms you want 'python unrpa -mp /path/to/extract/to /file/to/extract.rpa'. Most Linux distos should do it perfectly. If Python 2.x is the default version of Python, then use 'python3' instead of 'python'.
Under Windows, you want (into cmd.exe, the command prompt, in the unrpa directory) 'py -3 unrpa -mp "C:\path\to\extract\to" "C:\file\to\extract.rpa"'.
