I have pixels on top, probably a problem with that.
but pressing any buttons does not move the positioning.

Even if the resulting texture is converted back (without changes), it turns out to be erroneous (even if it is expanded and inverted position)....this program does not provide reverse decoding?

In DBL archives responsible for PARTICLES contains such information:
sp_downtown.pig ?????
This format is used by some other games. Anyone familiar with this?

I found this line in one of the DBL archive headerscreated by DBLMerge
I found the same line in an existing BMS script for Dragon ball Z Sagas DBU (created by DBLMerge) . 1000 [Dblmerge Dbu]
But he doesn't unpack. Perhaps it can be corrected?
dblmerge_dbu.bms
Code: Select all
# Dragon ball Z Sagas DBU (created by DBLMerge)
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org
get SIZE line
getdstring DBLMerge_STRING SIZE
getdstring DB_STRING 8
get DUMMY long # 0x100
get ZERO long
get DUMMY long # 0x28
get DUMMY long # some size?
get ARCHIVE_SIZE asize
do
savepos OFFSET
get DUMMY long
get SIZE long
get FLAGS short
getdstring DUMMY 0x36
if DUMMY != "1000" # lame work-around, some files have problems
math OFFSET - 1
goto OFFSET
else
savepos OFFSET
if FLAGS == 1 && SIZE == 0x100 # another work-around
getdstring NAME SIZE
log NAME 0 0
else
append
log NAME OFFSET SIZE
append
math OFFSET + SIZE
goto OFFSET

For me it looks as if you're trying a random script on a file, do you? 
Would make more sense to identify some data then create a script, imho.
For example bytes from 0x1300 to 0x1F3f can be displayed as raw file in irfan view like such:
8 BPP Grayscale, 64x512 pixels

This is a similar script. And he tried to unpack, even after reading and creating the name of the first file.
Thank you for your interest in the topic. We know for sure that textures have .bmp format
But each texture is always packed in .dbl and can be located inside the common .dbl archive
I know for sure, all 3D models, textures, and sounds in archives are cropped in the header area.
The header for each file is substituted in the .exe itself.

What about changing the graphics offset?
I'd suggest to learn more about graphics formats and file structures; it would spare you tons of life time.
Just my two cents.
(btw: I don't know too much about graphics but I know that you're lost without basics.)

I do not understand this, probably why I am here. Try changing this shirt and exporting it back to confirm your words. Because I, in any case, cannot understand this. There are pixels on top ..

I understand that I should get a hex value where the image begins?
Re: Need help: 25 To Life .DBL

This will be the very last step. First of all you need to get the picture displayed correctly to understand WHERE (start address) it starts and where it ends (ENDADDRESS).Elephantkilla wrote:Try changing this shirt and exporting it back to confirm your words.
(Not "get"; you should set or enter a value.)
Looks to me like decimal values; but doesn't really matter in this case - try out 1200 for example. (And don't be surprised when the picture gets distorted, try other values until the picture moves, then change address in steps of 4 bytes for example.)
basic question for the size of pure picture data:
assumed you have a 64 pixel x 64 pixel image with a 256 colors scheme (8 bit).
What is the size of its data (in bytes)? (If you don't know when I'd suggest to read some tutorials.)

All single-texture archives open with this value. And displayed correctly.
However, if I try to export this texture to the archive without any editing. It will not be correctly positioned.
The difference whether I changed the texture or not it will in any case not be displayed correctly.
And the texture was obtained correctly, exactly the same as if it was pulled out by a 3DRipper.

Correct, this the first thing to check.However, if I try to export this texture to the archive without any editing.
You need to compare original and "modified" files. (Even if you didn't change the texture your export tool seems to change something.)It will not be correctly positioned.
(Use HxD for example for file compare. It's in menu Analysis/File-compare.)

A screenshot of the comparison I gave above. You don't seem to hear what I'm saying..
I tried to manually enter the modified texture without changing the number of bytes, but no success. The game reads the texture in some coded form, going backwards in front.
There is clearly need some kind of encoder that will add additional bytes to the code

You can't seriously do the comparison in ASCII format!
It's required to do it in hex here.

This file contains three textures: TagFrameOutline, Blue_Tag, Red_Tag
Maybe someone will try to unpack it. It is a pity that the game is not so popular. Although this is the only game in which it would be possible to create their own locations for multiplayer, such as port maps from the CS and other games.
