moh97 1 Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks swizzy This files have the cover image? Why they store it like this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2084 Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks swizzy This files have the cover image? Why they store it like this? They store the data as-is in memory when it's used, this increases performance as it doesn't need to convert it once loaded (like FSD has to do) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moh97 1 Posted March 22, 2015 Ooh thanks swizzy again now I understand you and the team have a great genius mind just OMG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted March 23, 2015 Have fun with that project, it will be a lot of work to pull the data, but maybe if you pm maester rowen, he will give you the portion of the code that generates that file, and the file structure and you can reverse it. It is a long shot, but would be your best bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a long shot, but would be your best bet. I think it's actually a XDK feature that creates the file format based on input from a PNG reader or something like that... Basically, MaesterRowen has already explained things in a different thread and there isn't much to add ontop of that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted March 23, 2015 I must have missed that thread. It sounds like it would be an interesting read though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might have been in a PM tho, i'll have to look tomorrow, if it was a PM, i'll post it here as it's i guess kinda good for the public to have... if memory serves me right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewrich 35 Posted March 24, 2015 Might have been in a PM tho, i'll have to look tomorrow, if it was a PM, i'll post it here as it's i guess kinda good for the public to have... if memory serves me right This be what you talking about i think The .asset files are a very custom format of image that essentially breaks down to being a D3Dx9 texture memory snapshot saved as a binary. This is the key component that allows us to have the really fast load times. We can basically load the file directly into video memory, and a direct3d texture is created and ready to use. If you want some insight in how that works, you can check out AtgPackedResource if you have access to the SDK as its using a similar method. Personally, i would just redownload the artwork- lol Sent from my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
