• How to extract images/sprites from .win file?
    5 replies, posted
I have a 2D game I was playing, and would very much like to extract its sprites. The game resources are most likely in a file name data.win Is there any method to extract those sprites and images from that data.win file?
You can't know anything just from a file extension. If there's no documentation out there you'll have to reverse engineer it.
Is it a GameMaker game? You can verify by opening the data.win file and checking the first 4 bytes, it should be FORM in ASCII. If that's the case you can extract the sprites by looking for the "TXTR" section. You can use this file as reference for parsing the file, keep in mind this is [i]incredibly[/i] outdated so take everything with a grain of salt.

Thanks. Its indeed a GameMaker file. What do I need to use to open it? :v: GameMaker itself?
