I'm wondering if it's possible to extract the whole textures.big file?

If so how? And if not, Thanks anyways.

Tengo la ambiciÃ³n de aprender a espaÃ±ol.
Yet I have no idea how to start.

A lot of people have asked and a lot of people have been disappointed. You want a bunch of image files, yes? Well, no, there's no way to just dump all the entries in the way that you want. You could manually save each texture, for the ones that you can't seem to access, you can assign them to a mesh in graphics.big and then save the mesh - this will extract the texture as well.

Or write a program

I suppose FE or CBox could be modified to mass dump all the raw entry data in the textures.big entries, but even then that data is not usable as is. It's DXT without the DDS container, it's useless.

The other option would be lame, get a macro thingy like AutoHotKey and program it to manually save all the textures. The problem with this will be the textures that throw errors, it will throw the sequence out of whack and unless you put in a kill switch it will just wreak havoc. Would be okay if you could open entries with the enter key, but alas, you have to double-click, and that, I imagine, will cause issues eventually.

Or just write a program from scratch that reads the .big file and pulls out textures and puts them in .dds containers.

Not that I would do that, but if you needed it bad enough it'd be easier than trying to save each texture individually.

I see, I didn't see the question being asked, after a short search.

Anyways, thanks.
