Some documentation would be appreciated, currently on linux and I always get an error saying it got less bytes than expected. I may just be misunderstanding the script but I was trying to decompress/deblob a craft file from the playstation 4 so that I may use it on PC

I used a tool to decrypt PS4 saves and everything seems like a regular file but has .cmp at the end of it, which I assumed to mean compressed or something similair. My first test was a craft cover (.png), and when that didn't work, I tried a .craft

Sorry I cannot say anything for the PS4 version, this script was based on the Xbox One save game format.

I will correct the description until proven otherwise ^^

Usage is simply:

python ksp_savegames_extract.py compressed-file output-directory

PS: feel free to upload a compressed ps4 file here, I can take a look eventually.
