A few of you might remember me from years ago:

I remember that you were one of the first to ask about technical stuff and managed to get some replies, from threads that I looked at later, yes.

Well, if you have a look at the game sprites, you should be aware that there are much more than what is needed. All the leftover stuff from Dom2 and maybe even bits and pieces from Dom1 are in there, I can't tell, and unfinished or sample graphics.

As for extracting game sprites, can you really extract all of them without trouble? Because blast, build, flag, item, res and smallfont don't deviate much from the original format, but the others have some things inside that don't follow in the same vein.

EricM seems to be AWOL, BTW. He hasn't released sprites for the 3.20 patch and doesn't seem to visit the forum anymore. Another loss due to the forum switch maybe?
