Hacking [release] BFLIM Extractor

[Deleted member 370174]

That's weird. Can you try running it on a read-only file and see if it really doesn't open it somewhere with write access?

Sorry for not replying as fast as possible, I was watching Dragon Ball Super Episode 56. SSJ Rosé is badass.

I tried it with a "read-only" file, it works.

 

[Deleted member 370174]

Can't reproduce it too. Maybe the output folder was read-only, but that's my fault then.
Speaking of which, can you make it possible to specify the output path? =3

 

[AboodXD]

Output path, or output file? :3

 

[Deleted member 370174]

Well both. Path + file or just one of them. Depending on what the user wants.

 

[Spidey_BR]

I was going to suggest using standard input and output, but since those are binary files that doesn't make much sense.

Thanks for the documentation.

Excuse me, but would there be any way to run this on a 32 bit os or build it for a 32 bit os?
Yeah, I know, 32 bit sucks.
Anyways, let me know.

 

[AboodXD]

Yes, if running the .exe doesn't work then you have to install Python 3.4 at least. Then install PyQt5 for your Python version. Then download the source code and run bflim_extract.py using Python.

 

[Chocolate28]

Ok.

 

[Chocolate28]

What does this mean? This happens when i try to install PyQt5.

 

[AboodXD]

This is the first time I hear of that error in the Py version. :/

Maybe I'll do a video on how to get this(and other programs) to work from source.
BTW for some reason, PyQt5 doesn't work on Vista (Probably XP too).

A shame the first thing I attempted to do did not work. Some Splatoon thing, complained about the compression.

 

[AboodXD]

Yeah, that sucks.

I'm working on a workaround with Exzap for this. :/

 

[AboodXD]

BFLIM Extractor v1.2 was just released!

Changelog:

• Cleaning up.
• This program will now use Compressonator instead of nvDXT.
• You can now enable CMD mode by adding "-cmd" at the end.

@Ray Koopa Sorry for keeping you wait.

I think .dds support needs to happen for this particular program because PNG uses superior encoding to the RGB565, which is currently unsupported.

 

[AboodXD]

I can write a RGB565 to RGB888 converter, it's just that I currently don't feel like it.

Also, the reason I chose png over dds because it's easier to manipulate.

 

[AboodXD]

DDS files are stored in little endian byte order.

Damn it, and I was suffering to find out why 0x5802 equals 600.
It's just that I never encountered little endian files. Because the Wii U processor is big endian, and all files are big endian too.

Spoiler: Hint.

I'm working on a DDS writer for Python 3.4+

@AboodXD , is there any plan to add 3ds .bflim support this? That would be amazing.

@AboodXD , is there any plan to add 3ds .bflim support this? That would be amazing.

There are other programs to convert 3ds bflim files.

If you can send me some, I might be able to do it.
