Dune II data files?

[toolmaker]

I've been playing Dune II for quite some time now and I tried several times to extract the image files but horribly failed since the file format is quite badly documented. So, does anyone here has the original files from Dune II? I assume Stefan has them, but he has stuffed them all into the Allegro PAK file and I don't really want to spent a few days coding up an application that can reverse engineer the pak files and extract the data files.

Could anyone hook me up?

you dont need to 'reverse engineer' my data files. You can grab the 'grabber' utility from www.allegro.cc

Alternatively, xcc can open d2 pak files, and extract/convert wsa and voc files.

XCC is a great tool for converting FROM Dune 2 graphics to other formats.

However, what I have been looking for is a program to convert images TO Dune 2 SHP-files.

See, I am heavily involved in modding C&C1, and one thing keeps bothering me... the mouse cursor graphics aren't in C&C SHP format, but the Dune 2 format.

I tried just converting it to C&C format, but that only caused the game to crash.

Are there any tools that can help me with converting images to the Dune 2 SHP format? XCC can't do it.

Also, does anyone know where to find the graphics of the structures in the Dune II files? I've been looking for those for a long time.

Stefan, did you just grab those with an endless amount of screenshots, or is there a way to actually extract them?
