much appreciation Sir Mouse I have come to find that 2 of Ubisoft's games use the .bf file format and am willing to bet the rest of their newer games also use it. I believe either Soldner or Something-a-rather:Typhoon Rising(one of thos is an Ubisoft game) use the same type of file. I figure someone...

found them....

I have working copies of the program used to open the .bf files, it has an interface to it and can extract files out of the .bf file. it's not very handy i must say. it was only really made to extract the sound files out of sally_clean.bf so that people could get the soundtrack from the game. i'm no...

I was wondering if it's possible to integrate the bfextract work into the your program. Also, i have extracted the wad files from the bf file and cant seem to open/edit them with any of the typical wad programs(Wally, QXT, etc..) If anyone decides to give it a go, let me know what program you use fo...

so, i found an extraction program but it comes with no form of repacking.

So, I've conquered the world of Unreal 2 and moved on to more painfull tasks. Like figuring out how to open the sally_clean.bf file found in UbiSoft's wonderful release of Beyond Good & Evil. Many people have come to me saying "Use bfextract !" Yet, much NOT to my surprise... none of t...

grrrr, nevermind. not even the people in the skinning section of the Unreal 2 forums know how. No one who uses the UnrealEd mapping tool know how. No one even has a topic close to what i'm trying to do. Some guy wanted to import an UT2003 skin, but thats about it, and all he was told was "it's ...

weeeeeeee so, i've gone so far now as to make post in atari:unreal 2 forums, sking how to edit skins. i find that unrealed comes with unreal 2 and supposedly can be used for skins editing(i guess) yet i have yet to see ANYTHING pertaining to it in ANY tutorials, forums, etc.... guess i'll wait to se...

Not quite so easy. For some reason you can not open pre-existing dds files with photoshop and the plugin. You can however make new files and save them as dds. I did this and was one step ahead of you on checking the files info so as to save the file as close to the original form as possible. I am no...

I'm checking into that now. I'm reinstalling Photoshop 7.0 and have already obtained the plugin. My only problem now is, once i compile the new skins for Unreal 2, are they going to work. Are the DDS files that Unreal 2 uses compatible with the PS plugin... I'm soon to find out and i'll let you know...

how do i go about editing a bitmap, then saving it as a .dds file.
I have edited soem skins for Unreal 2 and want to see them in action but i do not know how to or what programs to use in order to save the files as .dds.

i said you are the man, mr. mouse
i found the picture. i read your posts, i just didnt know that .dds files were graphics files. sorry to cause you a hassle and for geting you huffy puffy.

ggrrrrrrrrrrr
finally found a program to open .dds
Mouse, you duh mang
You duh MANG !

Mouse, you must take me for either a lazy person, or a retard.... I have gone thru each and ever file inside of the textures.pak files and i have found nothing. Well, i found alot of really sweet pics, but not the one i've been typing about. A demon crucified on a pentagram. If you have played the g...

must have been a pixel or two over the permitted size. so how about that main menu background ? .... anyone know where to find it ?
