Imperialism 2 .RSRC File Unpacker
Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2016 1:56 am
Hi Imp1 Remake Community, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (or if it's of any use to Imperialism fans), but here goes.
I've been looking at the file format used to store sound and images in Imperialism II on the PC. The reason I started doing so was because I wanted to see if Imp2 could be made to run in widescreen/fullscreen at a resolution higher than 800x600.
Anyway, I've just uploaded a tool I've written to extract the contents of Imp2 .rsrc files to Github. It only works on Windows, and requires .NET 4.0 be installed, but most people have that installed already.
Download here:
https://github.com/treefairy/imp2dec
(contains precompiled EXE files)
This tool is not intended for use so people can rip the artwork and use it for an open source Imperialism II remake, and any such use is strictly prohibited - for obvious reasons! But for those of you who have purchased Imp2 and are interested to see how the artwork is put together, it may be of some use.
Cheers,
