That animation splitted between texture files and .swf elements (user interface). You can find this files using DEMD Database program:

1. Download and unzip DEMD Database (some posts above)
2. Create file "unpack_ext.txt" in folder where is file "DEMD database.exe" and write this lines to it:

Code: Select all

pc_localized-swf
pc_swf
pc_tex

3. "File"->"Unpack game DB"
4. "File"->"Open unpacked DB"

Now you can see file tree in left side. Look at files in "UI/Flash/swf" folder: there are a lot of .swf files with interest names.
You need to save needed files using "File"->export functions.

After that you need HEX-editor. Just trim first bytes before 47 46 58 0B bytes (GFX)

Next step is to google and read some articles about SWF/GFX game UI editing (Scaleform GFx). As example, http://alloutmodding.wikia.com/wiki/.gfx.

Enjoy

P.S. If you already tryed to use DEMD Database early, you don't need to unpack all game files anew. Just replace step 3 to this: delete file "converted_base.txt" (if exist) in folder where lay "NameMap.txt" (do NOT delete THIS file!)

UPD:

I poked around and write small tool for trimming unused first bytes/change magic and exporting DDS textures from DEMD .swf files. So, you don't need HEX editor to start working with .swf file

There is not a big amount of GUI tools, so I can recommend DEMD DB program (latest build: https://yadi.sk/d/qUxdTmJa3MxHEs).
It allows to preview and convert textures, most of models formats, FSB (audio) files.

If you used SirKane's script to unpack files, you have directory with file "NameMap.txt" inside it. In that case simply open this file from DEMD DB ("Open unpacked game").
If not, just read help from program. The only remark is that it give an error after unpacking - just skip that message.

P.S. I'm now writing more stable standalone version from scratch, but it may take a lot of time to finish it.
