Lemmings 3D Stuff
« on: June 23, 2011, 05:12:06 PM »
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.

Nobody else? :(

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'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. :-[

Thanks a lot! :thumbsup:

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.
