Any Russians here have an account on ZoneOfGames.Ru?

[Infinitron]

Or otherwise know this guy, DragonZH?

https://forum.zoneofgames.ru/topic/36240-unityex/
https://steamcommunity.com/id/DragonZH/

Reason I'm asking: It seems he figured out how to extract portraits from Krome's remakes, and I want to know he did it so I can create avatar galleries for Bard's Tale and Wasteland. They're using some sort of propriety format.

Put your game(s) into an archive, upload it to google drive and send me a link, I'll try to extract the images.

Or do you mean he's developed a newer version, but hasn't released it yet? I lack context to even talk to the guy.

The character portraits in these games are animated. They seem be using a proprietary file format with the extension .kanm (which stands for Krome Animation I presume). Looking at the image filenames and his log messages on the wiki, it seems that DragonZH managed to extract the frames out of the kanm files to create images.

I don't think his UnityEx program has support for these files. I figured it was something he put together on the side. The guy seems to be a fan of blobbers.

Well why don't you check first?

Hi! Yes.

Well, have a look at your user page

https://bardstale.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Dragonzh

I'm curious to know how you extracted those images
I dug into the game assets files with Unity AssetStudio. Found a bunch of files with extension .kanm. You figured that file format out?

[1:31 PM]
DragonZH:
I can’t access now. For .kanm software was made.

[1:33 PM]
Infinitron:
A software you made especially for this. So it's not part of your UnityEx utility?

[1:34 PM]
DragonZH:
Yes, this is a separate program.

[1:35 PM]
Infinitron:
I see. Well, if you still have it and don't mind uploading it somewhere, that would be nice.I would like to use it to extract the character images from Krome's Wasteland Remastered, which uses the same .kanm format

DragonZH:
Here are portraits from Wasteland (Classics and remake, and software)

Our work here is done :russiastronk:

But surely the original portraits are better (he said, risking an

from Infinitron)?

 

[Ninjerk]

Really nice when the Russki Codex comes together to solve a problem
