dvpl-converter

dvpl-converter encodes and decodes DVPL-compressed World of Tanks Blitz assets with LZ4 and LZ4-HC support. By default, it decodes, verifies CRC32 integrity, and writes output next to the input file. It ships as a Rust crate (dvpl-engine), a Python CLI installable via pip, and a single-file standalone script that only needs lz4.

About

Originally a 180-line script I wrote because I couldn't open Blitz's asset files for a side project. I wanted to learn maturin, so the script became a Rust engine bridged to Python through PyO3. Mildly overkill for the job, but it's fast and it was fun to build.

Install

Python CLI:

pip install dvpl-converter

Rust crate:

cargo add dvpl-engine

Standalone script (no Rust toolchain, only needs lz4):

pip install lz4
python standalone.py file.xml.dvpl

Usage

dvpl-converter file.xml.dvpl        # decode (default)
dvpl-converter -e file.xml          # encode with LZ4-HC
dvpl-converter *.dvpl               # batch
dvpl-converter -o out/ *.dvpl      # output directory

Rust API

use dvpl_engine::{decode, encode, COMP_LZ4_HC};

let blob = encode(b"hello DVPL", COMP_LZ4_HC)?;
let out = decode(&blob)?;
assert_eq!(out, b"hello DVPL");

Full API on docs.rs/dvpl-engine.

DVPL format

A .dvpl file is a payload followed by a 20-byte footer:

Compression types: 0 none, 1 LZ4, 2 LZ4-HC.
