Weapon Pictures

First time out of the vault
How do you extract the weapon pictures from Tactics? I have been searching for an editor for a while and have finally ended up here. I was thinking of doing a mod of either this or FO2 with the weapons from this!

Any ideas?
 
What do you mean by extracting the pictures? If you want to make a mod for FOT all you need to do is unpack the sprites_0.BOS file to your core folder. Then you'll be able to use the editors, that come with the patch, to make new weapons.

If you want the actual images download Redviewer or sprite2gif (from NMA downloads section) unpack the sprites and use either program to extract the images, Redviewer will extract them as tgas.
 
Well I making a Post-apoc mod for Jagged Alliance 2 and I thought with a little modification the weapons from Tactics would look great. Only problem is I have no idea how to extract them from the sprites_0.BOS file!

I will see if I can find sprite2gif as so far Redviewer doesn't work!

Thanks Requiem

The weapons are at a different angles to the ones in JA2 so you'll probably run into some difficulties. To unpack the BOS file use winzip, open up winzip and then drag and drop the BOS file into it.
 
With the images being at different angle than JA2, I'm hoping for that! They can be converted into JA2 weapons no problem they will just look slightly different in the menus. I am trying to recreate the atmosphere of FO series games in JA2 but with a new storyline and set in the JA2 timeline (ie a post apoc war continuing on from the JA series Stories).

Thanks for the extracting info. How do you view the .spr files though?
 
Easiest way is in Redviewer, search either NMA or DaC for the Redviewer MSI which should help you get things working, otherwise you can either try using the sprite editor Spray or FT Tools to stick all the weapons in a test map and view them in game.
 
These sprites, do they include the inventory picture? Because that is the image I am after.

Also having a couple of problems with Redviewer as it just won't run. I run the exe and nothing happens.

PC Spec:
Win XP Pro
Athlon XP2000+ (1.67Ghz)

GeForce 4 Ti4400 128Mb
SB Audigy
Plus loads of crap on the HD!
 
Yes they include the inventory picture.

You'll need to wait for Red to see this or go post at the DaC modding forum and explain your problem but most likely you need some of the files from the Redviewer msi.
 
Think i'll check the DaC forum out as anything has got to be quicker than copy and pasting from GRV!

Thanks for all your help Requiem
