ROM Hack Jump Ultimate SuperStars AAR Archive

[Keshire]

Can export raw frames now from dsig. Looking at the dsxt to figure out the tiling information.

Here's an effect.

This is still being worked on.

Battle Characters can be fully exported to png per frame.
I've just recently figured out the tiling format for the effects.

The .amt linking file is going to be a bitch though it looks like.

have you find a way to import data ?

because your tool could be use for edit graphics like menu in-game
It could be very usefull for the translation project

Aye. It's really just a matter of someone writing the code for it. I myself haven't seen much interest in it though.

Edit: Also I moved all my information to a wiki dedicated to JUMP.

Could you give an example by replacing? Is to attempt to replace but not carried out the action, that this is not bad

Thank you

Scuse file to extract sprites? thank ^^

 

[Keshire]

There just hasn't been enough interest in editing JUS for me to continue really. I'm sure they used my info for the translation project which I appreciate though.

As for extracting characters.

As an example:
File Open bl_b_01c.aar, extract (right click) bl_b_01.dig
File Open ChrArc.aar, Open (Double Click) chr/bl_b_01.aar, extract (right click) bl_b_01_.dxt

within the bl_b_01.aar is the amt (move file), the aod (??), and all the special effects (file names with 'e' in them). In case you wanted to investigate them.

The sprite dumping is done via a DOS command line.
Such as:
c:>"alar tool" sprite 0 bl_b_01_.dtx bl_b_01.dig "C:\NDS\bl_b_01_"

or if the dxt format isn't known (there's several 'favors')
c:>"alar tool" dsig -d bl_b_01_e00 0 "C:\NDS\bl_b_01_e00_"

I have screenshots of each step but image archive websites are blocked here at work. So I hope this helps.

Edit:
Open your aar of choice


aar files...


Right click to export DIG


The related dxt's are in the ChrArc.aar


Export related DXT

You'd get faster responses by posting here. I'm hardly ever on MSN unless I working within a team of other people.

If it didn't crash, check the root (C:/)

 

[Daviex]

So I extracted the files, then I put them in C: with the alar tools and do the command DS and nothing happens ... you can put a guide with photos? thank you

 

[Keshire]

you can put a guide with photos? thank you

It'll have to wait a couple hours then.

 

[Daviex]

Ok thank you but see PM ^^
