@FinalBlast:
That guy might be drsubzero: http://www.twitch.tv/askdrsubzero

Missed an included library, changed the file. Tested it on another PC. https://github.com/0xFAIL/SkullMod/releases/tag/v0.7 Please verify that the .exe and the .jar both work now. Gonna add packing of .gsf files tomorrow. Then I'm gonna look into the dds files in the .art files. Thank you for your h...

FinalBlast: So the exe/jar starts but nothing happens when you press unpack? That should mean that there are no files to process.
Look at the attachement, do the things happen like they are described there?

https://github.com/0xFAIL/SkullMod/releases/tag/v0.7 Should work now

(use the exe instead of the jar file)

If it doesn't work please PM me with the details

=====

The dds files seem swizzled, some have channels switched, nothing impossible

GUI drag'n'drop packer/unpacker for gfs: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=10677 And a level editor (not presentable yet) ===== All frames are probably in the format found in "temp\palettized_hud_art\" in dev.gfs One palettized picture that shows which color goes where (character_cerebel...

If you want a ton of examples for CLUTs on different platforms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_palettes I forgot to say why CLUTs are/were used: A single pixel only has 2 bits instead of the full 32 bit it would take for R8G8B8A8 (in the example above), see example below to see how much this ...

CLUT (not C UL T) is short for C olo(u)r L ook -U p T able, sometimes it's called a palette Basically it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_by_number , you have a palette of colors (let's say 1 to 4) the palette is definied (in your case in an external file, NOT in the files provided, look at oth...

Added new tools and executables

-New project DAT_split
-Executables for EZBIND_extract, EZTEXT_extract and DAT_split

Short update

I'm currently having a problem with the Mip Maps, I have to find a way to reliablely detect them (and the irregular header that
comes with them).

Also working on the DDS header generator is slow cause I have to understand DXT/STC3 a bit more.

Progress! Figured out most of the Tales of Symphonia .nut file structure and it matches with the NTP3 files. (see LINK for results) What I would like to have: 3 (or more) example files per game (please make a new folder for each game) in a zip file uploaded to mediafire. Could you upload them pleas...

I will update here, but if you want to see the progress live:

Currently researching all the files.

Eternal Sonata looks like the header is slightly different.

The classical term 'reverse engineering' is centered around decompiling executables files iirc. If I write 'reverse engineering' below I mean 'reverse engineering file formats' not working around with assembler. I will also ignore any hacker ethics about this topic, cause it's simply out of scope. I...

I saw NT*3 somewhere before... *thinks* Right! Eternal Sonata features NTX3 files in the XBOX 360 demo (Probably the 'X' is for XBOX and the 'P' for Playstation) , they also have the same structure. But there was something else... *thinks* ah...., .nut files! I remember them from Tales of Symphonia ...

What I got so far (probably won't continue): New line character: 0x0A (be careful when editing text in windows, it will add another type of new line character: 0x0D if I remember correctly) Sometimes there are DUMMY or HARDUMMY parts, probably placeholders String data structure (after, what looks to...
