How do I rip Gamemaker Studio sprites?

[LennyNotKenny]

I'm trying to figure out how to rip sprites from Gamemaker Studio games but I just can't figure out how,
if someone could tell me that would be great, thanks.

Hi LennyNotKenny!

For ripping sprites from GameMaker Studio games with a "data.win" file, you have a couple of options (although most being originally made for Undertale extraction). The first that I'd recommend is Altar.NET, which is the most developed "data.win" extractor out there at the moment. The next would have to be GMSD, although a bit outdated (and even the GitHub page recommends using Altar.NET, so this is more of a fallback plan). Lastly, if nothing else works, I'd try GMdsam, which seems to be outdated and really should only be used as a last resort.

If your GameMaker game doesn't have a "data.win" file, then I'd give this little tutorial a try to see if you can obtain a "data.win" file from the .exe. Also, just copying the .exe and renaming the extension to .zip, then extracting it with something like 7-Zip worked for me.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Im having a issue with Altar.NET, everytime i try to open the data.win, it says "2.0 not supported yet", what that means?
