Ripping sprites and voice data.

[MaliceX]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows how to rip sprite images from both ToE and ToD2j, and is it possible to rip ALL voice data from ToD2j?  I had some luck but I could only get sound effects, and minor voice data.  (minimal battle cries; not even all of them.)

Thanks in advance.


PS: What exactly is the data when you use WInRipper to rip a "SWF" file from ToD2j's main data file?

Are you asking what a SWF file is? If so, then swf files are flash player files. This is the format of choice when designing a flash movie, game, etc and uploading it to the web for viewing. This is what you see when you go to websites such as flashplayer.com or any website that has flash integrated into it.

I didn't ask specifically what an SWF file IS, but I'm asking, when I use WinRipper on a PS2 game (in this case ToD2j) it spits out a ~800mb SWF (v3) file. Of course it doesn't load on flash, but I could only get a few other xa samples from that file.... (not much to satisfy however)  I'm asking what exactly is the data on it.

Sounds like a false hit to me. There are no 800MB files inside of ToD2's file system.

My guess is that the sprites would be in the FILE.FPB.

You'll have to ask cless.........if has the chance to.

A lot of other people use GGD to extract sprites.  I wonder if we can do that with TOD2 as well?

My guess is no, since it's probably some sort of compressed file system... the data must be raw format in order to use GGD.

Edit: I tried, and nothing really came up... darn.  Oh well, it was expected.

Thanks for trying. I believe there's no way at the moment until some genius makes a program that can manipulate this encrypted file type.

There's no hope for ToD2 for now, but it doesn't hurt to do print-screening with an emulator for ToE.

By any chance, what is GGD?

[Dopple]

Actually, Cless has decrypted the filesystem and he coded his own tool to go back and forth between FPB and raw data.  They're not going to release those tools, though (for obvious reasons).

GGD is some program with which you open the data file and you look through it for picture data...  Really time consuming and really complicated.
