Hello guys!

I was wondering if there's a way to rip off or extract the data files of Lemmings 3D. Gfx files seem to be raw images as we can clearly see each pixel of them through a hex editor (for example, I could have recognized a fence or the frames of mud texture...). Palette files format are very easy to figure out through a hex editor. Sound files are unsigned 8-bit raw audio files. It would be nice if actually, there's a way to include the audio data into wav files...

I only ripped the music so far, but only by using Dosbox MIDI ripper.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to "read" these files so that we could rip/extract the sprites, textures and sound effects of the game, especially when they aren't compressed. Does anybody know a program which would allow that or could find a way to actually read those files?

The only remaining thing would be to figure out what's the file format of level files, once they're uncompressed.

I did a bit of work on that a while back, using Winterland demo (which has the levels uncompressed). Not sure where, if anywhere, you can find the info anymore though. PSX version also has uncompressed levels.
My projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

Does anybody have the original CD of the game so that an image disk file could be made? I'd be interested to get it please.

I have the original disk image of the game. Let me take a bit of time to upload it to 4shared...

I have the playstation version. Might be possible to make a disk image of that if you want...

I'll let the other guy do it. Ask again in a couple of days if he hasn't coughed up and I'll see if I can do something about it. As I said in the other thread I'm going away for a couple of days and am now procrastinating about packing... at 1 in the morning. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/embarrassed.gif" alt=":-[" title="Embarrassed" class="smiley" />

Thanks a lot! http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />

And finlay, don't worry, I downloaded an image disk of the PSX version elsewhere. And now, with a nice utility, I can easily rip the graphics I need, even though it still requires some work.
