I would have thought that ui_options.d3dtx.png (http://quick.mixnmojo.com/temp/ui_options.d3dtx.png) doesn't get much corruption simply because of how small it is. I don't think the corruption is a simple xor. I tried xoring all the corrupted areas...  [Read More]

(I see you're a Paint.NET fan. ;) Assuming a "square" is 4x4 pixels, it looks like one corruption pattern repeats every 512 squares, while the other repeats every 800 squares. I'm not sure the corruption is caused by the aspect ratio though...  [Read More]

It doesn't seem to be xor encryption at the beginning of the SEBM files. I tried xoring the first 64 bytes after the header with a QWord that would make some of the bytes legible, but the other ones still wouldn't make sense....  [Read More]

Yeah: Byte, Word, DWord, QWord. 8 Bytes. I don't know if this is any help, but a couple of the files have more extractable data after byte 68, like this (without the spaces): d3dtx [63][00][00][00] [5B][00][00][00] C:/Telltale/ArtData/Characters/Sk...  [Read More]

Hmm... A repeating QWORD, 64 bytes total. I notice it starts at 0x4100. I've checked a couple of files, and the path ("C:/Telltale/ArtData/...") always seems to start being legible 68 bytes in. So maybe there's another 64 bytes of corrupti...  [Read More]

Different viewers seem to interpret the corupted areas in slightly different ways - I tried WTV (http://developer.nvidia.com/object/windows_texture_viewer.html) and the Compressonator (http://www.ati.com/developer/compressonator.html). http://img91...  [Read More]

No, I don't mind. And thanks for crediting me :) Looking at the data at the end of the file, my theory about the 709 bytes would be that at one point the file used to be longer, and when they wrote the final archive, they didn't clear the data off t...  [Read More]

I was bored, so I did a litle investigating. data.ttarch is an uncompressed archive of thousands of smaller files, ranging in size from 48 bytes to just over 4 megabytes. I don't know how to make sense of any of the files inside, but I know how to ex...  [Read More]
