It is an interesting coincidence that somebody requested this, as I just today got my hands on it as part of my retro collection. I was going to look into it myself but it seems you got most of it already. I suppose all that is needed is a simple tool for the images. Or perhaps GGD can handle it? ED...

Just updating to let it be known that I haven't given up on this, I'm still searching for possible palette data to associate with these images as well as the textures.

Thought: The palettes extracted from the EXE may be the actual ingame palettes for sprites and textures respectively.

I third this motion. Pretty much always dirty scam artists too.

The palette data is within the ANI file. However the palettes unaccounted for are for the image files. The palette mentioned may in fact be the palette for the animated sprites (just a thought) which would also be greatly useful.

O_o You are saying it is 320x200, I'm saying it is 320x200 and yet you seem to be disagreeing? Or are you thinking I'm saying that the animation frames are being stretched? I'm not saying that.

Yeah, it'd have to be to fit the background.

320x200 is also the size of the PCX backgrounds.

Oh this is most excellent! I was wondering when an explorer for this format would be made, and you made it, thank you for this, I look forward to it's development! We are a few steps closer to further SF4 modding.

The palettes I extracted from the executable I showed are RLE compressed. Perhaps decompressing them and trying them will get the palettes?

http://www.sendspace.com/file/xsl64g This is the intro animation to the game. The format is very similar to that used in the CD-i Zelda games. The compression is RLE7 I believe. And the palette is ALSO RLE compressed, but some places in the decompression currently comes up distorted. As seen here: ...

>_< D'oh. Didn't realize it was that big of trouble. Though luckily, nothing seems really compressed at least. XD;;

Oh? So these are the movesets they swap in the videos on YT?

Question: Where are the character moves stored.

Silly question, but where might the movesets be stored in the character files? And what effects to use in said moves?

Updating:

The NDX is the name table

The IDX is the file length table.
