Windslayer

[Lemon]

Here's another Project for Lemon! I'm planning on ripping monsters and NPCs from the MMO Game, Windslayer. It's similar to Maple Story in gameplay, but I like the fact that it's not well known, and the sprites are nifty. I'd really rather this project were kept just for me, as it's these sort of projects that keep me happy and stop me having long absences. Some of the sheets may look tiny, but single pose NPCs will have their own sheet, and most sheets have two or more NPCs on as they are related. Murubshiri will be one of the only sheets that small.

NPC Count: 3

If anyone can get together a Java file to easily rip sprites, I'd credit you on every rip.

i have never played the game but anyway great rips

[Mageker]

Don't worry if there are small NPC sheets. How are you ripping this? I mean... are you playing the game to rip? or have you extracted the sprites?

[Lemon]

I'm screenshot ripping. And the backgrounds are so detailed, it just takes ages.

[Mageker]

Woah, ripping by screenshot in a MMORPG is a pain...

[Lemon]

Hell yeah. I'd have gotten scores of sheets now if I could extract.

[Mageker]

I think I can help you extracting... can you look in the data folder of the game and tell me what kind of files are there?

[Lemon]

.hsi and .hsc
You can open these into GGD but I just get a small rectangular box of pixels.

Hope you can help, it's my goal to rip a full decent game myself, and I think this may be it.

Have u tried using MiniDumper? It might work with .hsc, but I have no idea what to do with .hsi ones.

I don't have enough storage to process dumping Windslayer. Shall I just remove some programs?

Maybe :/ Remove programs you don't use.

[Lemon]

I dumped it, but what do i do with the .dmp file?

I tried opening it in GGD but I just got a purple pixely mess.

These are the files, hsi and hcs. Image one is in the folder, Image two and three are the hcs and hsi files for mob_1, one of which i presume is the palette. Any hi8nts on which settings to change?

I'm now hunting down how to extract the graphics. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

From what I've found on my hunt: HCS is a sound file, and HSI is a graphics file.
I'm now looking into it even more - I'll tell you once I manage to view HSI.


MORE UPDATEZ:
hsc holds the sprite data - if you open the .spr file in notepad it'll tell you that.
I'll look into the hsc files now.
