Would anyone be so kind as to help me figure out the cards.dat file format, or let me have all the card graphics from TTG (minus the numbers on top)?
 
Sorry, but I painstakingly reworked those graphics by hand, and if I wanted them to be freely available I would've stored them as jpeg files instead of inventing a whole new archive format. ;)
 
Hehe maybe I could try to get the images .. if i had some free time :) Looks like 2bits per pixel images.
 
You guys really want to go the hard way, hm? :D
Life could be so easy:
Just get "Eight", open one of those FF8 archives (sorry, don't remember which one), open that cards texture and simply export them to .bmp....

That's the way I did it when creating the cards for TTP.

 - edit -
I remember - they were named "mc00" - "mc09"
However, I cannot upload them, because:
1. Copyright ....
2. They're 650KB in size - that's pretty much for my 56K connnection :P
 
I've already gotten that far Alhexx, but thanks.  I can't seem to find the card borders or backgrounds though.

EDIT: oh and mirex, thanks for the 2 bits per pixel bit, but where does that start in the file, and where does it end?
 
TomT64: No idea .. it was just a wild guess when looking at the "cards.dat". Im gonna look into ff8's archives, why to try hard way when all the data can be found inside ?

What do you mean by "backgrounds" ?
 
I mean the red and blue gradients indicating the player who owns said card
 
Ehm I looked at it, and yes you can extract many cards from archive menu.fi, they are cards without borders .... you can find there all the card graphic from the game.
 
Already way past that.  I have all the cards and their borders.  I just need to throw in some good images of the numbers and elemental images and I've got it.
