I haven't tryed these programs out yet but I'm hoping it will all be good results.

Yeah, but what good is Tile Molester if the game's data is compressed <_<

Tahaxan can decompress the files you save. Everything from the game shows up but I haven't figuered it out on tilemole or ggd yet.

I hope that's an alt. And a troll.
On the off-chance it isn't, .dmg files only work on Macintosh computers.

Does anybody know how to use .bin sprite files?

I decided to do a little bit more ripping from Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 [DS], but I'm doing it the hard way....through Tahaxan. By writing up my own plugins I was able to use Tahaxan's decompression method to get some things like enemies [by decompressing the file and using a 4bit palette], but it seems like every folder has its own filetype and it's making the whole process really complicated.

My goal's to rip the battle backgrounds [a_map folder or b_map i believe. there are .n and .m format files there]
and the character sprites (I feel that a lot were missed in the archive)
without having to play through the game to do so

Another problem is that if I go through the game using the same uh, "plugin rules" I'll have files that have loopy sizes with odd-numbered tilecounts and stuff. It's very annoying.

Barubary would be awesome if he stopped by this thread and helped me out here. He bailed me out last time when I was ripping the last of AWDOR's sprites, and he'd be a super brother if he took a shot at this one

Likewise, if there was a program that decompresses files like Tahaxan does, that would make the process a million times easier. I feel like it's not LZ77-compressed, but something else...

I've tried to tilerip from this game some time ago, and I have to say that i'd love to be able to tilerip everything from this game. This is because I then would have to have a working decompressor for the 'flag-0x11 files' (which is also the only compression used in MM Starforce 3).
These kind of files are LZ77/LZSS compressed, but use some kind of slightly altered algorithm, rendering the decompression algorithm(s) inside Tahaxan useless for those files. Some of the .t-files inside NPotN2 use this compression, including the character files.

The maps are easy; the .n-file is the palette, the .m file contains the graphics in tiles of 32x32. I'd advise using TiledGGD, with the tile size set to its proper value[/plug]. You cannot view these files properly in Tahaxan, since it can only handle tiles of 8x8.

.bin files can be any format (there're sometimes even different formats within the same game), so you'll have to be more specific than that ;]

Superliger · 03-10-2009, 12:52 PM

not sure if I can? I opened the gam with that Tahaxan thing and 99% of it is .bin files.

For one, naming the game would help ;]
(or supplying an example file)

I was able to figure it out why tilemole woudn't open them correctly they were compressed so I had to decompress them and they all work. Thanks to all who have helped me Smile

I'd like to rip all of the buildings and map- iles of Pokémon Ranger Batonnage. What is the best method for this?

Superliger · (This post was last modified: 03-11-2009, 11:57 AM by Superliger.)

I need a bit more help with tilemole. How do I get big objects to line up right? For example I have a part of a tail on the top row and a part of a head at the bottem row. Also how do I get the right colors on the sprites if I don't know what the right colors are? Does anybody know how to use GGD?

Disabling layers and Screen Getting (alt+impr pant petsis).

What would be the best form for shading a "combat game" sprite type?

I'm having problems. I wanna rip the stuff from a PSX game but the only way to actually do it is using AnimGet. I would have to delete all of the background and such, but it doesn't matter. The problem is, AnimGet slows my PC down to the point that it makes it freeze.

Is there any alternate tool I can use for this or something?

Seth · 03-12-2009, 10:35 PM

Screencaptures and Paint.
