Older Arena Textures..

[Titavius]

I didn't really want to do this in the older sections as it'd just end up getting lost, and at least here we're all current and active. 

 

Basically, if anybody has SVR, SVR 06 or Here Comes The Pain on disk, would they be willing to dig out the arena textures from them? Specifically, I need the ramp/stage textures from the Raw arenas, preferably from SVR 06 (as I guess it's the most current of the three).

 

It doesn't matter if it's small or pixelated.. if anything, it's a good reference for me, or can be doctored in Photoshop. It might even be 256x256 in size, in which case it's perfect. 

 

Any help would be great! Thanks

I think I have the discs somewhere but have never even attempted to rip them.

do you think it's an easy task? or is a different process to the newer games?

[UndertakerWLF]

most l;ikely a different process, never touched the PS2 side to be honest.

I have HCTP, I'll try to dig around for the arena textures tomorrow morning when I have some time.

It's a slightly different method than ripping current textures, I know the wrestler textures are compressed as CH, and CH2 on the disk, andneed to be uncompressed into individual pac's, after that the textures can be extracted easily with X-Packer, I never extracted the arenas from them though.

in case anybody wants to have a crack at trying to extract the textures, here's the BG.PAC from the SVR 06 ISO. i guess i'm just gonna leave this to the professionals!

I can do it using RRunpack, quickbms and xpacker

I know for a fact that the aprons in HCTP within the pac is under eaprons1, or something rather. Did it years ago, but if I could remember, it was lower quality and probably look out of place (that's for aprons though) 

[UndertakerWLF]

To be honest they dont look that bad, there is a slight loss of quality but they are okay for what they are and provide a great template if you want to re-create the apron form scratch.

I extracted the HCTP Arena textures but they aren't named, so I added an arena list found at OSR.

They are still in .tm2 format, so you will need OPTPiX or something similar if you want to view/change their format.

What do you use to open that file type?

[coroner]

I use OPTPiX to open/view .tm2 files, then you can save them in any format if you want to use them in Photoshop.

[UndertakerWLF]

You don't need Optix

 

Use this...

Just select all files, right click and convert to your desired format.

That worked a treat 'Taker, cheers. Gave me thumbs for things I wasn't getting thumbs for as well!
