...although considering the obscurity of that and the likelihood of you having much to do with genetic research...it's probably for something else

If anyone publicly released a utility to extract graphics from Infantry/CR, Sony would probably get upset. That's not to say people don't already know the file format, or already have said utilities.

Didn't one come with the OLDOLDOLDOLD file that i think is no longer hosted on shanky's site that was like shanky.com/infantry back when infantry was just out of beta? Because i remember a .blo file viewer......

I remember a viewer too, but it didn't let you extract all the frames from animation.

I have all the beta software.

Blob Editor reads .blo files, which really all it does is allow you to assign graphic and sound files under a single file title (maybe with a bit of compression).

The gfx files themselves, however, are encoded within a specifically designed, by Jeff himself, encryption.
I believe I have something which can unencrypt the old ones.

SONY CAN SUCK MY COCK!

Rod's dead, he's a sellout.

Love live Jeff!

They are not encrypted. They are just encoded in a way that allows for them to be drawn on-the-fly as is. They are stored as one-byte-per-pixel data (palettized), loaded and converted to 16-bit-per-pixel data pseudo code (draw blue pixel, skip 27 pixels, draw red pixel...).

Encoding, encryption, same thing.

Well, ok, sure, of course it's not, but I tend to get confused since it's english.

I did say it was encoded, did I not?

Eitherway, Juan's models own.

W-H-A-T- -E-V-E-R

Hey Agurus,

The BlobEditor is for combining graphics and sound files together into a single file. (kind of like an archive)

I would offer to extract any files you need. The thing is all of the Infantry/Cosmic Rift gfx's are encoded as ".cfs" the Infantry/Cosmic Rift image format Jeff or Rod made. I only have a .bmp to .ctfs converter. Sorry Agurus

I am not going to be releasing any of the editors or server software for Infantry / Cosmic Rift. Don't even ask me.

always were trying to figure out a program to extract some infantry images; but like said before, Sony would be very very upset. :-/

Edit: As far as I know, the .cfs files are simple 16bits bitmap files. (And definately not encrypted)

1. Good job ressurecting a dead thread.
2. Don't you have the cfs editor?
