Contents
File Formats
Images
Images are contained in .MMP archives. These archives are documented here, here and here. It is recommended to extract them with Aluigi's Millionaire3 script.
Extraction should result in a series of named files, most or all with the .PICT extension. When you have them, open them in TiledGGD to take a look at them.
These .PICT files will come in several different variations:
- Uncompressed: Images that come in uncompressed, 32 bits/pixel ARGB format. You can convert them into PNG with this Python script by Racoon Sam (which has comments added by myself).
- Transparency Compressed: Images with a distinctly "swirled" or garbled appearance, despite having the correct colors or recognizable aspects. Their compression type is unknown, but is a type of transparency-only compression.
- Compressed: Compressed images whose compression type is unknown.
- "Gray" Uncompressed: Uncompressed images with a gray appearance, without any of the colors it shows up with in-game. These images have a header to them that may contain the image's true colors.
View a visual example of all of these formats here.
Sounds
Sounds are contained in .MMS archives, which are documented here. They can also be extracted with the Millionaire3 script. The result of extracting should be .AIF files.
These .AIF files are not your "standard" .AIF files, however, and can't be played in an audio player. Their format is unknown, but if you import them as raw data into Audacity as Signed 8-bit PCM and turn the sample rate way down, you should hear something recognizable.
Films
.MMF files contain a single .flm file. Curiously, they are not true FMVs/videos like you would expect. Instead, they are a container format for image and sound files. Some of the image files are uncompressed and some are transparency compressed. It is not yet possible to extract these individually
