Sorry no, I don't have access to it - someone send me the archive - otherwise I would have given it a go.

Oh, and the name of the game was wrong - it is BLOOD MAGIC.

Thanks mate.

OK, this is looking good - glad you figured out the frames :) In regards to "transparency", I don't actually mean that it is transparent. What I was actually referring to was, if the frames only stored the "changed" data, then the data that is not changed for that frame is thus transparent. Think of...

Ah :) I didn't even notice that junk section, I was supposed to come back to it after I worked out the rest of the format, but obviously I didn't :) . Good work mate, glad someone was able to correct me. I will look towards putting this in the next GE update. WATTO watto@watto.org http://www.watto.org

the extracted files came without file extension an that iss my Problem I agree that this is a problem, but that is because the archive doesn't have extensions - thats not the fault of Game Extractor but rather the fault of the archive. Good luck - maybe MexCom will prove better for you, although I ...

Hi guys, Someone sent me an archive to look at from the game Black Magic. The archive format it easy enough, but the files are compressed using an unknown algorithm. However, I was hoping someone would know the method, as the compressed files (not the archive itself) all seem to have a 2-byte header...

640x28 - that sounds much nicer :) In regards to storing this amount of data in the small number of bytes - it could still be possible if the image is mostly a single color, or a transparency (as I suspect is probably the case). In regards to the arrangement in 3-byte groups - that could obviously m...

Sorry, for clarification, I didn't find any complete DDS images, but I did find a lot of data that looked very similar to the image data of a DDS image. Many game archives with DDS images in them tend to strip them of their headers, so this is a possibility. I think you can see some DDS-like bytes t...

Nice work :) - at least we know the type of files in there, as I could not find any filenames. This is the specifications I have thus far - but I havn't coded or tested them yet. +--------------------------+ | Snowy: Fish Frenzy *.arf | +--------------------------+ // ARCHIVE HEADER 2 - Header (AR) ...

Yeah, I was referring to the source for that program. I kinda know what CVS etc is and how it works, but i've never really used it. Never mind, thanks for completing the specs for me :) I will take a look at the sample image you draw above - see if I can pick something out of it. It would have to be...

Hi mate, I think the issue with these files was that they didn't actually have a directory, or something like that. I think that they just contained all the file data, and the first file in some of the archives was directory-like, but it wasn;t actually a directory. This is what I kinda have for one...

Hi again, Just an update - I have looked at your *.ss2 file you sent from Black Arrow, and this doesn't look like an archive at all. Maybe the *.ss2 extension is used for a variety of different purposes, or I had an archive from a demo, or something like that because the one I have here at home work...

Hi mate, I looked at the Indiana Jones archive - and it definately is an archive (I can see text files and DDS images in it), but there is no directory. Are there any small files with the same name as the archive, but a different extension? For example, maybe there is a file called INDY.dir or INDY....

Mr Mouse, All the BUN files I have looked at follow the following format +-----------------------------------+ | Need For Speed: Most Wanted *.BuN | +-----------------------------------+ // Note: There are padding file entries of varying sizes, including length=0 // Continue reading until the end of...

I think i understand some of this - it was a bit confusing at first because the source on the webpage you gave above is not the same as the source of your program, and in fact the website one looks like it is missing a few lines. Anyway, at the moment I see it as something like this... +------------...
