This is a very hard task, but have a look at this this thread:

http://forums.revora...in-c1bcd/page-2 (works best for vehicles)

 

You can also use these sprites:

 japanese_soldiers_sinp.zip   246.05KB   193 downloads

Some background info:

- The sprites are some leftovers from the SINP mod (more precisely from the never finished Southeast Asian Campaign).

- They were ripped from the video game "The Mission 1937" (if I recall correctly).

- Only one of the two soldiers has a shadow - which was painted by myself by hand for each sprite

Ok that link is about converted mission, but what about converted items graphics, and other stuff?? is possible or anyone has not do it??

Strike in narrow path mod, has japanese stuff? , ill check for it...

 

 

They were ripped from the video game "The Mission 1937" (if I recall correctly).

With the 3D Abi Viewer you can get the animations of the soldiers and other 3D items. I don't think that anyone has done this before because it's too much work.

 

The plan was to have an Asian Campaign in SINP, therefore we needed some Japanese soldiers. But because the mod was canceled, the Japanese stuff was never released.

 

To find information about "The Mission 1937" you'll have to search for "1937特种兵".

I've uploaded the game here: https://www.mediafir...3bd8wpktlw7q3u4

The executable of the game seems to be free of viruses (VirusTotal.com says it's clean), but to be on the safe side you should run it on a virtual machine.

Yes, i have tried and didnt get succesfully convert any animation... 

 

Thanks for the game link and information, based on google it seems a "buggy game clone of commandos" xd, but the file extensions look weird, for a engine called "Intitution", there is a way to extract resources?, seems very pretty...

Some time ago I managed to extract the files from the archive 1937Resources.gfl with this simple Java program:

 Mission1937_GflExtractor.zip   2.87KB   146 downloads

But so far all my attempts to extract the actual tilesets and sprites have failed.

[Salvadorc17]

That file is 100mb about, you have only extracted those ?? i think it also include sprites?? reading with text editor this is the header:

"GFL (Game File Library) Win32/V1.0 Copyright Guowei 1999"

 

For the tiles a ugly take screenshoot should work in some stuff, but not for sprites :X

[herbert3000]

Yes, the GFL file includes sprites and tiles.

There are actually 1394 files inside 1937Resources.gfl, in detail:

num | file type or header information
------+----------------------------------
 208 | 8BPS (Adobe Photoshop File)
 128 | WAV (Waveform Audio File)
   34 | IBLOCK 1.0.0 Copyright U.M.E 2000
   45 | TLG1 Intuition Engine Professional TileGroup File V1.0.0 Copyright Unlimited Mirage Entertainment Guowei
 980 | SPR1 Intuition Engine Professional Sprite File V1.0.0 Copyright Unlimited Mirage Entertainment Guowei
 

The 8BPS and WAV files can be edited but I have no idea how to extract the images from the other files (they are compressed maybe even encrypted).

[Salvadorc17]

I can recreate partially the maps, with the take screenshoot technic, just see map 1 partially:

[LWD5099]

The image is 16b 565 add compress

[LWD5099]

Compress like rle

[Salvadorc17]

Compress like rle

-what do you mean, why to compress to rle???

[herbert3000]

If I understood correctly, the sprites of the game are some kind of rle (run-length encoded).

 

LWD, can you please give an example of the file format. I can't figure it out myself :(

[Salvadorc17]

Yes, some sprites like the libretas, but the other seems to be 8bit bitmaps, or im wrong??

If i convert to this 8bits or use rle encoding, image will lose quality...

[LWD5099]

You can save lmage data as 16bit 565 bmp data to see how Compress.

[LWD5099]

It Not 8bit

[canstay]

big maps can explorer
