Def Jam Bitmap and .colours files

[Mr.Mouse]

That file is compressed. Do you have a decompressor?

[grzesiek]

Try FSH Tool:

1. Change header from SHPS to SHPI (in hex editor)
2. Drag and drop ssh to fshtool
3. You should get 0000.BIN file
4. In multi image ssh each BIN is one image
5. BIN starts with width or height or sth (i dont remember). Rest should be the same as regular ssh.
Offset of image is probably 16 (in dec). And size is 512x512.

EDIT - Probably the image is 16 bit

[Mr.Mouse]

Works perfectly. Converted the palette:

Colours are a bit different - red channel is replaced with blue
THX, waiting for tool

[Mr.Mouse]

Ah yes, I see now. Corrected for this one:

Could you write a little program for only viewing ssh files?

[Mr.Mouse]

Yeah, I'm already doing that. It already works.

[grzesiek]

Progress?

[grzesiek]

When the viewing tool will be relased?

[Mr.Mouse]

Hopefully soon. The code is still a mess.

[grzesiek]

How to quickly replace colors in the palette that the order was good? Some special command in the hex editor? And what about the creation of a program to look at these textures?

[Mr.Mouse]

Sorry for the late response, but I've worked on the first release of the tool yesterday since months. I now hope to release a first version this week. It will extract *.bmp from SSH files with the correct palette for viewing.

[Mr.Mouse]

Here is the tool. use 7Zip to unpack it. EA Graphics Tools.

thanks for the wonderful software..

i was waiting for this since long...

have couple of questions..

how can we import a bitmap in SSH file ? will it support in your next update ?

and this SSH file shows some error in your tool...
it opens in EAgraphic editor(released by someone else)
have attached this file

[Mr.Mouse]

There is no attachment.

As for importation, yes, that may be in a later version. However, you should be aware that the palette can be converted to standard, but to create a picture in the palette format that this Electronic Arts playstation software uses back into the SSH file is another issue. I can convert the colours from EA to standard, but I have yet to determine exactly what imaging algorithm was used to create the EA palette.
