Thank you, I was able to find whatever your latest source code was at the time and able to build on it, so that was a major leg up to get it going.

I have to sort out the C++ dependency thing mentioned in this thread that is specific to keep it from outputting zero byte files and eventually the updater when I get more time, but happy to carry the torch for it.

Appreciate the kind words and hope you are well. Any inputs/guidance for upgrades are more than welcome so don't be a stranger.

Happy new year and take care....

Hello! I have a problem with decompiling texture. I do everything according to the instructions, but the output is an empty folder.
I have all x64-x32 Microsoft Visual C++ libraries installed (2005-2022).
Please tell me what could be the problem?

It is a very specific problem, the file base.exe which comes from Kodi (for this version of the tool, may be newer now, I'll look into it) REQUIRES a specific version of redistributables to be install or it won't decompile. Read post #25 in this thread for what another user found also:

Can be had from Microsoft:

It requires x86 version regardless of what OS you're using x32 or x64. This is just what that file requires. When I get some time, I will see if I can figure out a workaround or produce an update that corrects this issue.

Regards.

I will be looking into it, but for now, what exactly are you trying to decompile? Can you send me a link to it so I can try it here?

Thanks.

Yes, exactly. I'm trying to decompile the icon textures and some other minimap interface elements from Far Cry 3.

Far Cry 3 uses unique sprite construction and have proprietary headers. This tool will not be able to deal with that mess.

Use this tool: https://downloads.fcmodding.com/others/fcbconverter/

On the advanced tab, it was able to extract your minimap to dds files which can be opened with Irfanview.

Good luck.
