Arena Ultimax Sprites

[Skyla Doragono]

Okay, last night I made a point of going through all the files that may be potentially images (if only because they had "img" somewhere in the name) to try and see what I could and could not extract.

Good news is there is a lot I can extract right now... and I do mean a lot.  After spending most of last night hand typing everything to extract for the MANY backgrounds in this game into xbdecompress, I have to make a small request: is there any way to do a batch decompress with this program?  Or maybe with QuickBMS?  P-please? Figured it out!

I've also run into two different types of files; one that says it's something that doesn't match up with the file header (technically two things, but the other is a sound file and I'll be worrying about those later), and the other Hipster can't seem to recognize the Endian type.

For the one that Hipster can't recognize, I looked in to see that they are indeed .HIP files, but it looks like there's a segs header snuck in there; might be able to use that for your program, Puggsoy.  The full pack is here and here is one of the files from it (should be of Aigis).

The other file says it's a DDS file, but no matter what .DDS extractor, viewer, program, what have you I use, it can't be opened, and I've tried everything from Nividia's Photoshop pluggins to every viewing program imaginable.  The most I've been able to get was some white image which... turns out the program didn't recognize it.  I opened these in my hex editor, and the header said "XPR2" followed by "TX2D"; not sure what any of that means.  I've put up two files to show; this one has an offset start at 80D, same as this one.  I'm not sure exactly how each of these will look tbh.

This should be the last of the help I need with this until I tackle the audio.  I hope.
