Battle Cats (ios game) - Carpaccio - 06-23-2016
Yeah, I know it's silly, but the enemies and sprites in this game are pretty cool, cute, and diverse. Could anyone manage to rip them?
RE: Battle Cats (ios game) - Carpaccio - 06-24-2016
Here I've got the main data file from the game itself. Should contain everything graphics-wise.

IDK how to open the file your provided, but i found an android version...waiting for the .apk to dl, tho...
is it alright if i try from that one?
or do you know anything about IOS ripping?
no luck thus far...
looks to me like they're using an assets server
i found files that probably specify how to access them, but either they're restricted, or i'm using the data the wrong way
you'd need to run the game either on a mobile device, or on an emulator, and sniff the incoming web traffic in the midst of doing that. From there, you'd be able to download all the files, or find-out how the assets server is being used, and file-dive it.
I'll upload everything I could find, minus some stuff that wasn't worth ripping, or isn't sprite-related

notes:
1. assets/download(0-2).tsv appear to be assets lists or caches
2. any of the .config files have what i assume to be the base url to actually download the assets, or even just to communicate with the server, but i can't figure-out how either might work.
RE: Battle Cats (ios game) - Carpaccio - 06-24-2016
Unfortunately, what you have ripped is the standard images that come in the IPA itself anyway and are more or less pointless...
I'm not sure what one needs to do to access these URLs either.
RE: Battle Cats (ios game) - DarkGrievous7145 - 06-24-2016
yep...
as i said, it must have all the good stuff on a server.
so, you gotta figure that out by either running an android emulator, or even the legit game, and some sort of http or https debugger to log + save the files.
i also contemplated decompiling the code, but idk if that is really possible.
i'll try it, but i doubt this will yield anything

Maybe RTB knows more about this sort of thing since he got the method of acquiring Sonic Runners files directly? I'll see if he'll respond.

oh god, the graphics in that game are hilarious. have a field day with that, whoever's ripping them x)
RE: Battle Cats (ios game) - DarkGrievous7145 - 07-14-2016
so far, no one is, as we can't get at them..
