What is this gibberish code? - Developers

I've recently extracted contents from the 2003 game, Sphinx and the cursed mummy for PS2, I did this to extract models and I have 749 files extracted at the moment, I need information on what "language" this "code" is written in, is it encrypted?

It looks like binary. Use a hex editor. It is not code, it is data.

It's gibberish. Unless you know what it's encoded in it's useless.

it's called zalgo

Thanks a crapload! I didn't expect this much feedback in such a timespan... I'll try and decode it... (Thanks again) --EDIT-- Now it's emptied out a bunch of numbers and letters... [CODE]77 00 65 00 72 00 20 00 62 00 65 00 73 00 74 00 72 00 61 00 66 00 74 00 20 00 77 00 65 00 72 00 64 00 65 00 6E 00 2E 00 3C 00 45 00 3E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 56 00 69 00 65 00 6C 00 65 00 6E 00 20 00 44 00 61 00 6E 00 6B 00 2C 00 20 00 64 00 61 00 73 00 73 00 20 00 64 00[/CODE] Alright, now I know I'm a retard, if I wasn't I'd probably have figured out by now that PS2 model porting isn't vertexes and coordinates... [I][B][U]I should probably just focus on coding until there's no more SNPCs to make[/U][/B][/I]

Means you can read strings within the file easily.

If you PM me one of the files in question, I'll take a look at opening it up.
