Index File Reader

Index File Reader reads files indexed in SCUMM format. These files must be in .000, .HE0, .LA0, or 000.LFL format, if the application is able to recognize them in their specific folders.

Specialized designation

SCUMM index files are usually an archaic method of packaging special information and data. This form of packaging allows a third-party app to get access to random game resource files, like the directory of rooms, sounds, scripts, costumes, objects, and so on. Index File Reader users will be able to access objects in their directories by right-clicking on the overall list.

Basic options only

Since it's just a reader of SCUMM files, you won't be able to edit or modify the listed object properties, but you will be able to save all that SCUMM info to plain or RTF file format in order to give other users the ability to view, print, or index in other formats the SCUMM info you sent them. This way, developers can build detailed Excel files containing the animation names, object names, and many other important game engine details.

Simple and portable tool

Index File Reader's simplicity is one of its main advantages. It's extremely light on your resources while also being portable. Users are encouraged to drop the program on any part of the hard drive or even a USB flash stick and run it from there. It'll do its job just fine from pretty much anywhere.

Conclusion

Index File Reader is perfect for developer teams managers who need to have an extensive list with all content being implemented into a game on a level-to-level basis. With this app every object or animation can be closely monitored in order to give developers the general idea of what exactly is indexed in a SCUMM file and later be part of a game's core engine.
