Time to say hi to aoe wiki editors. This update mostly for you guys.

  • Added option to extract files to one direcory. (Useful to display files together at once and have a clear view in Windows Explorer.)
  • Added option to extract PNG images as BMP images. (Saving as BMP will remove the transparent part from PORTRAITS and replace it with the base texture that usually goes on top of the player color ingame).

v0.4.2

2 years ago
  • Added .DDT -> .TGA conversion.
  • Fixed problem of converting .XML files with unset extension.
  • Improved behavior of file open and save dialogs. Now each dialogue remembers its own path.
