jos Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm keen to tinker with the Apocalypse agent animations.Does anyone know how i can extract, edit and recompile them? I've looked through XED's functions and can't find a way todo it. I've found what I suspect are the agent animationsbut XED says it can't extract the images.Also - does Apoc use layered sprites?

Bomb Bloke Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 The animations use a PCK extension, same as the previous games, but the format of the files doesn't match. Presumably it's still RLE-based, but to date, I don't think anyone's written a program that can extract them (let alone recompile them). Because the agents can wear a large combination of different armour modules, each module gets its own spriteset. That adds up to a huge amount of individual images.

Thanks for the reply, Bomb Bloke.Yeah, i thought they were basicly layered sprites - presumably working like the Diablo2 character sprites. In fact XED seems to be able to decompile some of the CoS soldiers and you can see torso, legs etc seperated.Oh, well, scratch that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jos Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hey Bomb Bloke (or anyone else on these boards) Do you know if there is still no way to extract the agent animations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Have you tried OpenXcom forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jos Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Have you tried OpenXcom forums? No I haven't - But this for Apocalypse, not EU. Do you think they can help with this Silencer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hmm, right haven't noticed - there is a guy that works on OpenApocalypse. He advertised it here somewhere and he made a forum too. Might want to ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jos Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Funnily enough this is for OpenApocalypse - i'm doing some initial tests of upscaling the artwork resolution. I'll ask on their forum. But i posted here because Bomb Bloke still seems to be the Apocalypse expert when it comes to game files... Thanks Silencer.

Bomb Bloke Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 pmprog messaged me a while back re Apoc's image files. I pointed him towards what I'd documented on the UFO wiki, and he later updated the page in concern. At this stage I'm assuming he knows all I do and more.
