Title: Extracting from .exe file
Post by: pixg on Sun 04/11/2012 09:25:31
Is there a way to extract pictures, sound files ect from an ags (exe) game file?

I have an old game I created a couple years back on AGS, it wasn't complete and I'd like to finish it BUT... I have lost all pictures, sounds ect that I used to make it.

All I have is:

game.exe
acssetup.cfg
music.vox
speech.vox
winsetup.exe

is there any way I could extract the files so that i could use them again without having to draw and record it all again?

thanks.

It's always been so that you can not extract resources from a compiled game; you really need your project folder. This is mostly to protect the owner, who wouldn't like his resources to be ripped.

This is a bit of a pain I know but I guess you COULD printscreen when you're playing the game. Not a fine way to go but at least a way to get your backgrounds hehe.

EDIT: My apologizes to moderators, but upon thinking more on this, I decided to remove this information.
I'll contact pixg directly via PM instead.
