wow you guys must be SUPER fans, i can't see why these are so....valuable.

Well, some people like their cuts clean. And in this case (ToDR-DC) it's more than just a "zomg graphics" but also a "file storage system solved, hacking art at the gates"-scenario.


Anyway, have some Saturday morning MSpaint boredom:

Well, I guess that pretty much wraps up most of the interesting things. I've pretty much analyzed everything now.

I guess you're thinking "but what about the sprites!". Not gonna happen. They're stored in an even more annoying format than ToD2. They're in pieces, and each piece has its own file (as opposed to ToD2 having them on a big sheet). Blah.



Oh, and this is going to be a fun thing to edit at some point...

uhhhh....

Is there even the slightest possibility that Barbatos is... playable!? Or even appears as a kind of "ally" character!? Or maybe even a dummied playable character?

Because there's a battle sprite file with him in the same format as the main cast, and that file is immediately after Lilith's sprite file. The enemy files are stored in a different manner.

It's for Barbatos' side which got cut since they had no time to finish implementing it. Wait for their last PS2 game, Tales of Destiny: Redux, to be released in about a year. just kidding, cool stuff there

If anything, it's probably for Lilith side randomness or something... XD

Hah, pretty nice. Any particular reason you got rid of the alpha channel, though?

I didn't like the really soft look it gave everything.

Hmm, how so? It shouldn't do much other making the backgrounds non-black. In case you've made the same mistake I did: The TIM2 files seem to use a 7-bit alpha channel (or some slight variation of it), so alpha values, if you read them as bytes, only go up to 128. Just multiplying by two worked fine for me.

maybe it's the program's fault, but if I didn't discard the alpha information, it always came out like this...

Hmm.. nobody told me about TimTool. With that, it was possible to batch convert all the item icons and stuff to bitmap.

So yeah, anyone interested in that, 75MB of bitmaps here:

If I get in the mood later, I can make something to rip the skit pics.

Weird... after saving that png file, opening it in Photoshop and re-saving it as PNG-24 with transparency turned on (NO other changes), it comes out like this:

That would be amazing! Also how can you rip a Tales of Eternia sprite (if you can rip these that should be pancake)

Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Doubling the alpha channel value shouldn't be much of a hassle if TimTool can save in uncompressed 32bit TGA, it's a simple enough format to load. I'm asking whether it does or not because all it managed to do for me was crash. Tongue

I got my copy but my PS2 isn't hooked up anymore due to the <strike>PS3</strike> Blu-Ray player. I'm also in the middle of Lost Odyssey and stuff, but I'm anxious to get to it. Is there much stuff added to the main scenario or should I just jump into Leon's story (ugh)?
