Help extracting Heavenly Sword Textures

[nightwolf1982]

Working on extracting models from the game Heavenly Sword, but I have no idea how to get the textures from the game.

[nightwolf1982]

I read in an older forum post that the textures are in the .dat files extracted by quickbms, but I haven't been able to find a tool that can read or convert the files. Anyone have a suggestion?

Still needing help with this, does anyone have any ideas?

OK, This is what I've figured out so far:

Code: Select all

endian big

get DUMMY long # First four bytes, not a string, no indication of file type, always the same

get SIZE long # The total size of the file from OFFSET

get FILENUM long # Number of files (?)

get ZERO long # Zero value

get OFFSET long # File Offset

get IMAGESIZE long # Actual image size, from OFFSET

get HASH long # Unknown value, possibly file name or hash

get ZERO long # Zero value

get HEIGHT short # Height of Image

get WIDTH short # Width of Image

get COLORS long # Color depth of image (?)

get ZERO long # Zero value

get ZERO long # Zero value

The next 80 bytes are all P (0x50), which I'm assuming is padding. I'm attaching one of the dat files so people can take a look for themselves.

128 byte big-endian header
at 0x18 - 1byte - format ID (this sample is dxt5 format)
at 0x19 - 1byte - num mips
at 0x20 - 2bytes - width
at 0x22 - 2bytes - height

of course some of that is speculation until more than one sample is provided

Acewell, what did you use to convert that?

edit - nevermind, TextureFinder seems to be working now.

Big thank you to AceWell for giving me the clue to figuring this out!! Not everything is working, unfortunately, but I've got the files I was looking for.
