IWD Archive Lister

The list-iwd.sh script scans the main/ and iw4x/ folders under a specified root directory for .iwd files (which are ZIP archives). For each .iwd file found, it extracts the list of files inside the archive using 7z and writes the output to a .txt file in a folder called out/.

Each .iwd file gets its own .txt file in the out/ directory, with the same base name (e.g., iw_00.iwd -> out/iw_00.iwd.txt).

Requirements

• 7z command-line tool

Install 7z on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install p7zip-full

Usage

./script.sh <root_directory>

Where <root_directory> is the path that contains both main/ and iw4x/ subfolders.

IWD Archive Duplicate Finder

The show-duplicates.py Python script scans all .txt files inside the out/ directory, which were previously generated by extracting the contents of .iwd archives, and identifies duplicate file entries that appear in more than one archive.

It prints the results to the console and saves a full report to out/duplicates/result.txt.

What It Does

• Reads every .txt file in the out/ folder.
• Detects which filenames appear in multiple .txt files (i.e. shared between archives).
• Writes a detailed list of these duplicates to: out/duplicates/result.txt

Each duplicate line includes the filename and a list of .txt files (archives) it appears in.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
