Default EQ2 Char disk hidden information

Heyas,

Not sure if Im posting in the right forum, but I thought this info might interest you guys (if you didnt know it already).

The EQ2 Char creation disk main file can be extracted which will result in over 10k of texture and anim files. Textures are in plain dds format again.

To my surprise there are a lot of files in there which seem to belong to the main EQ2 UI. For example I ran into the following files;

* A lot of city maps and a worldmap
* Whole lot of icons (spells, equip, items, skills, ranks etc).
* A lot of UI interface files, showing spellbook layout etc, etc.
* A bunch of mob models
* And a lot more=)

The file that needs to be extracted is DemoCreate.vpk. Youll find some tools on the web to do the extracting for you.

If this is old news for u or u arent interested in EQ2, plz excuse me for posting it. Otherwise, enjoy!=)

Default Worldmap

Maybe some moderator can move the thread, it indeed should be in of topic, my apoligies.

Heres an example of one of the maps. Seems the old continent became completely scattered:

Default Just an example

I just posted this as an example, like I said there are 1000s of textures which an be extracted. Including some mob models, all maps, etc. etc.

Heres a couple more http://mjstc.com/temp/revealed.zip. Converted these to jpg for size. Ill take this zip offline in a few days, taking too much bandwith otherwise.

btw does anyone know a proggy which can convert dds->gif/jpg in batch? Atm if I want to convert dds files Im opening them one by one in photoshop etc. etc. Figured there should be a quicker way to do that, just couldnt find a tool to do it.
