good tool, I was a fun of the frame viewer, but this is much better

unfortunately we can't save images

Saved images are used by people to implement new animations in 2d clients with SA frames.. i don't like that, so didn't put the function

Btw there are a lot of things that should be added before image extracting !

it's not the only purpose...
for example I use those images to make icons for the UI or just for random images

btw for textures there is already extractor: each time you click on the texture you want to see temp.dds in the program folder is updated.

good

Figured out how to get it working (finally... I copy/pasted the UOP files to C:\UOP then redirected the Load UOPs)...I could spend DAYS digging through this stuff and have already seen a LOT of KR artwork that is sadly no longer in use (at least for now) which makes me wonder WHY they stopped. I don't know if it was how it ended up being translated into the game or what.

Also a lot of stuff I hadn't seen before which REALLY makes me want to see it being used ingame.

Thanks for the Reader Kons!

So I was just using this for the first time... I stumbled upon a beautiful version of the Fountain of Life. I guess from KR, I didn't own one when KR was around. But damn. I hope the graphics update either brings back KR graphics as an option or brings stuff even better.

Assuming it's ever released D:

Is there any possibility to sticky this thread?
It could be useful to people who want to look around !

This is great, I had fun looking through all of it. I'll also find a use for a few of the textures too. I made a large tower in google sketchup a while ago so I am tempted to use some for that.

Seeing the KR trees and plants makes me a bit sad though. I didn't realize those assets were still in the client and I wish they were used. Perhaps they will be repurposed when the HR update happens.

I don't think I can adequately express how much I agree with this. And there are more KR art assets than just the plants that should be brought back as well... the telescope, serpent pillar, floortiles, the sandstone tiles, the list goes on.

 

[lucitus]

But Kons iam only talking theoretically, is it possible for you to change the stringdic that the client uses this or that graphic instead?

 

[Kons]

you mean changing from classic textures to kr textures?
It's something i have been working on, but didn't manage to find exactly what makes choose one or the other file
(it's not done using stringdic )

It should be the stringdictonary i have tried different Versions and i got krs chairs displayed wrong title but it should be possible, but i dont know how the myps are crypted and how the string dic is crypted. Have you found a way to write myps the Client is able to read? would be interesting for a tranlastion of the Client into another langauge?

 

[Kons]

well i was trying to get the change in the function that calls the function that loads from stringdictionary!
myps (if it means .uop files ) are compressed with zlib and formatted with proprietary format (UOP v5).
My program should be able to load stringdictionary already..
Yeh, i know how to change those, but i think someone would get angry..

 

[Kons]

updated again:

v.81
- Fixed custom folder setting (restart needed to take effect)
To be accepted, the folder MUST contain at least valid LegacyTextures.uop, Textures.uop and Tileart.uop
- Now multi loading is all made by a Background worker => more stability
- Fixed a bug that made the program draw 2 times the same multi at load.
- Added a progress bar showing multi loading state
- Added native dds reader for DXT5 and DXT1. This should fast things up (yet still slow on changin Zs).
v.70
- Added all Effects related to Tilearts

 

[Kons]

v.82
- Fixed some loading error if using a wrong installation path file
- Added more checks at file loading

[Kons]

[Kons]

Digging in some spare time i found other usefull information, so i've updated to 0.8.5

v.85
- Added Tileart TAB to check items following the tileart.

- You can now drag dumped-text's container in Multi tab.

Did you ever get it working?

 

[Pandora_CoD]

I did not.

 

[Kirthag]

Make sure it is pointing to the most recent install of the EC. It was being funky with me until I made sure the directory was pointing to the EC.

Lemme know if that works.
