Beyond Space Remastered Edition - game.res editing

Post by cornel »

So I got stuck with a big modding project and wanted to take my mind off it and do something else and simple for a while... I have this little 3D space shooter that I kinda like, so I wanted to try and modify it to my liking...

Does anyone her know if (and how) it is possible to edit (extract and reinsert) game resources from the game.res file of the Beyond Space game?

Here's the file in question: http://www.mediafire.com/file/n4dmrw6km ... e.res/file

I'm attaching the results of running the filecutter.bms script on the game.res file, in case it's of use to anyone reading this plea for help ;)

Archive.7z


Here's hoping...

Did you have the time to take a look at this, Luigi?
If so, could you confirm here that the file is not extractable?
Many thanks.
