PR 1.2 improvements

Post by poirot »

We are proud to announce that we succesfully imported a POP2 dat file.
This is going to help a lot in the POP2 level reverse engineering -wich has already started and it's going fine- because now we only have to worry about the level and not the .dat file and it's checksums. We have reversed everything but the guard properties.
Knowing that POP2 has two types of images and that the first type is similar to POP1 we were able -during the development of PR 1.2- to extract a graphic dat file of this first type and import it back again with an image edited having successful results.
This means that we are very near to get a version capable of editing (and not only extracting) POP2 graphics of this first type.
We also reversed the new POP2 compression algorithm that is present in the second type and we believe PR 1.2 will have an experimental feature to extract all the images from POP2. If you want to know more about it please refer to the news thread I posted in the forum.
