Ok, so I've been in touch with Darren Pattenden, one of the game's artists, and he tells me that the original textures were .PNG. Perhaps that helps.

There is no problem in showing the models. We are not a kids site.

Hey brienj! Good to see you!

Please follow the forum rules. Be very specific and give examples.

Ah unfortunately, the link is no longer valid.

Disassemblers, eg OllyDbg, Ida Pro etc

http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/DGTEFF You can still read that if you need a place to start. There's also a piece on my reverse engineering of the Painkiller XOR encryption algorithm. But in general, it's like Bugtest said: practice and I would say experience. I've spend thousands of hours on figur...

Thanks for letting us know!

Okay, got it. I have the game myself, so I could check for a palette file. There are a number of files that end with .COL. This is what you need. These are 256 colour palettes, preceded with an 8 byte header for us to ignore. Also, the images we have are actually 8-bit bitmapped 256-colour of 320x10...

Are these graphics correct in the game? Using the same file you extracted them from? They could simply be bad copies.

Simple, I opened it with a hex editor ans saw it was a continuous graphics file. I then loaded it up as a raw file in Adobe Photoshop, first as 8 bit. As 8 bit it could have a size of 400x400. It looked already something like water. But I noticed a repeating pattern every 80 bytes in a row, and set ...

Okay, never mind.

I believe these to be 5 frames of 160x100 saved after one another, 16 bit colour depth.

See my animation. The palette is an approximation, as I don't know the original one.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll take a look. Have you got some more ? You've choosen Water, which is not very specific in terms of pixeling.

Will check it out.
