This project runs executables (pre-packaged) to encode/decode audio files.
A tool for parsing and extracting assets from Relic Entertainment games; primarily Dawn of War I, DoW II, and DoW III.
pip install relic-game-tool
For more information, see pip VCS support
pip install git+https://github.com/ModernMAK/Relic-Game-Tool
Via importing the python package, or running the relic from the command line.
Details pending
After installing the package with pip, the tool can be run by entering relic into the command prompt. The tool will list arguments and sub commands available.

In general, it's best to unpack the SGA files to avoid unpacking the SGA for multiple extraction passes.
To unpack SGA files, we can use the following command:
relic sga unpack 'DoW directory' -o 'storage path' -r -b -e
First, the path to the DoW game is specified, we only use one path to avoid extracting other game assets to the same output directory.
In the case of DoW, the latest game contains almost all assets of the previous releases.
The flag-o specifies the output directory, this is optional, but makes it easier to perform the next step, extracting assets.
The -r flag will search all files and folders within the directory.
The -b flag will not extract archives which contain certain keywords marking them as lower quality assets, this will prevent lower quality assets from overwriting higher quality ones.
The -e flag will force the program to crash on an error; in most cases, the output is bad, and a bug report should be submitted.
After unpacking the SGA archives, we can extract assets from Relic Chunky files.
relic chunky extract {extractor} 'storage path' -o 'extract path' -r -e
Extractor expects the 'type' of chunky to extract, running relic chunky extract will list available extractors.
First, the path to the unpacked archive, 'storage path' should be the same path used after the -o flag.
The flags -o, -r, and -e function the same as above.

I've compiled what I've learned on the Wiki.
It may be lacking compared to the actual python code; for more information, you may wish to examine the relic\sga, relic\chunky, and relic\chunky_formats sub-packages instead.
