unsure of how familiar you are w/ game construction, but 1024x1024 and 2048x2048 are sizes used for texture maps. all 2d games nowadays are 3d behind the scenes, so its entirely possible that the character sprites are made by having a square plane, applying the texture w/ the sprite on it, and squishing the plane to the right size. a bit... odd as opposed to keeping the aspect ratio of the image and just allocating multiple images to one texture map but i digress. in my experience extracting texture maps always come out funky, so dont stress too much about it, sometimes it takes a little manipulation to get it to look right
if you want to replicate how they look whilst playing, take a screenshot of the character, pop the image you extracted + your screenshot into a photo editing (or drawing) program of some kind and squish your extracted photo until it lines up 1:1 w/ your screenshot! no clue what the right width for this guy is but throwin him into csp n squishin him didnt give me any loss of quality, so you should be good
Aah, man, guess there's no easy shortcut for it LOL. Some of the sprites thankfully was squashed in a perfect 1/3 ratio, so I just need to stretch it by 3x and it was all good. Some of them took extra fiddling to figure out the proportions though LOL
