    So since tio.dll actually contains the original command line tool for creating those .dat files (and unpacking them), I decided to make a minimal wrapper to actually call into those functions.

    TioPack can be used to create a dat file that works just like the dat files that shipped with the game.
    TioUnpack just replicates existing functionality of the unpackers that we already know, but i made it anyway for completeness.

    I made a Wiki Page on Github that describes how TioPack is used, but it is pretty simple:
    https://github.com/CircleOf8/TempleFileFormats/wiki/TioPack-Usage

    Source code is in the TempleFileFormats repository on Github. But I set up Appveyor to automatically create executable files for the two tools. They can be downloaded here:
    https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/hnx77ftua50pw82l/artifacts/TioTools.zip

    Note: You have to copy the exe files into your ToEE folder so they can find tio.dll.
