evilbunnie Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Because they're not .amiga disk files. How do you know they were make by amiga? Amiga is a game emulator.. right? Anyone can make their own file extension. You've got to search the source and find their loading method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No, the Amiga is an actual computer. I own three Amigas (500, 2000 and the 4000).Amiga Disk Files or ADF-files are used for emulators or to back-up floppy disks. Basically they contain the entire floppy disk. This means that they may or may not contain graphics, depending on whether the original floppy where from they have been extracted contained the graphics or not.There is a Linux application named unadf, that is capable of extracting the original contents from such a floppy image. There should also be a version of that application that runs on Microsoft Windows. After extracting the contents, you only have all the contents of the floppies. From there you have to figure out what files contain the graphics, and what file format they are encoded as.Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying was his engine obviously uses a different method, by the sounds of it amiga isn't the most optimal thing to use for a c# texture.

dayrock Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ya sorry… its on a c# engine connecting to mysql :p but it loads all the grahix as .adf so I'm going to look today to see how it loads it. What I want to do is see if I can easly change it to read diferent or if its easy to make things in .adf thanks stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rithy58 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Extension might not mean anything. Stephan can go on hours explaining it.My graphics files are .dat, .gfx and even .dwo at one point.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayrock Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well… they are .adf... and I need to open them.... so they matter rightnow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 @dayrock:> Well… they are .adf... and I need to open them.... so they matter rightnow...They are not ADF-files, if I am following your description properly. Instead the extension is used by a complete idiot who doesn't know how to use extensions, and better yet, who doesn't know how to store image data in a standardised format like JPG, PNG, TGA, and so further. If you avoid doing that, you are just asking for problems.The only way to open those files is by inspecting the parsing or the storing of such files. If you can't do that, you are simply out of luck, and should consider working with files made by someone sane.Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayrock Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Okay… well would it be possible to change it from reading .adf to somthing normal? Because this is a game from 1990's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You are going to be more descriptive, because I am not following any more. Way too many details have been left out.Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rithy58 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hmm… sounds like you're trying to rip a graphic from a game.What is the game name? Need more info on the files you're trying to open.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you may be able to find out how the client takes away the encryption and make a converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
