Can you imagine other characters from other beat em ups, colliding in the Fight n Rage universe!? :)

If we could easily replace the sprites, that would mean that the resources would end up being extracted/ripped.

I'd really like to see that! I think the Nekomata from Disgaea would fit Gal's Sprite well since they have similar sillouetes.

We've recently found out that the sprites are png sprite sheets inside of .dat files, so they can be extracted via 7 zip. Time to rename all my images via Advanced Renamer!

:D

Ive been waiting for someone to figure this out.

Im going to convert Norris to the Mysterious Warrior from Double Dragon 2

Edit: Trying this myself, Im not sure how to extract the png files, not the most familar with 7Zip. Tried extracting to * but no luck.

Would be most grateful if you could tell me the steps to do this, thanks in advance.

So how do you re-compile the sheets?

Im extracting the data, changing the extension to .png, making a edit, saving in 32-bit, then attempting to repack with 7zip with no luck.

any advice? cant wait to make some custom characters

Yep!

It's a bit more complicated than reemplacing the sheets into the dat file and call it a day actually, I'll try to explain myself the best way possible.

- First, before doing any mods I recommend doing a backup of the dat files you'll modify, even better if you backup all the folder.
- Then, open the dat file you want to edit, say 222 for Ricardo's default costume.
- On 7zip it'll display the info of the 222 file inside, take note of the compressed size number.
- Now, open the 0 dat file.
- Right click the 0 file inside, it'll open a document editor.
- With the seach tool, input the compressed size number you took note of.
- Once you find it, leave the text cursor on the number.
- Now drag and drop your edited png file (remove the .png extension) to the 222 dat file.
- Take note of the compressed size of your edited file.
- Go back to the 0 document and reemplace the old compressed size number with your file's size.

And that's it. Open Fight'n Rage and see if it worked. :>

@G-bit

Thank you very much for the advice, this should do me nicely.

I've back-up'ed the files, and used advanced fine name editor to find all the .png files, so finding what im wanting is easy-peasy.

Very much looking forward to what the community wil have in store with sprite mods. In theory, these can just be distrubuted as the actual .dat files, and the way costumes works, that means multiple different mods per character.

Very pleased with this discovery :D

Thanks! I didn't realize that the 0.dat file checks for the packed sizes of the files.
