Posted by defor on June 2nd, 2009Building a folder structure around the extracted data…
Posted by defor on February 6th, 2009While a number of files I’m unsure of name, many have been named or at least been put in what should be the correct path:
- Data
- at3
- 1bd3a995.at3
- 1ddc4f8e.at3
- 2bc22905.at3

Extra help on the project?!
Posted by defor on February 6th, 2009I had meant to post this up 2 months back when it popped into my inbox, but this was a bit of a teaser to me even… Hoping to establish some more communications with the person who sen this over to me (you may need to zoom into it to see it better):
Pulse ship templates
Posted by defor on January 18th, 2009It has come to my attention that not many people are familiar with exporting texture maps:
Pure to Pulse Conversion

VEXX format textures part 2
Posted by defor on September 30th, 2008After searching every VEXX file using the method illustrated previously, I was unable to find any suitable images for some elements I knew existed, such as the ship skins. Many of the VEXX files contained what appeared to be image data, but it was very scrambled.
It appears that there are 2 distinctly different texture encoding methods used in the game engine.
- The traditional one outlined previously
- A “bricking” method in which the image is broken up into 16×8 pixel chunks which are then mosaiced into the larger image.
After realizing the existence of the second encoding, assembly of the images was again possible.

Texture name block
Posted by defor on September 29th, 2008The texture name data for that last file is as follows, and appears to contain image dimension information (and possibly more):
