Hi,

I'm trying to extract only PNG and text (strings) data from the Harry Potter: Magic Awakened files.

So far I was able to get the NPK files and from them (using the QuickBMS script attached) a bunch of .dat, .txt, .xml and .raw files, but the png/strings are nowhere to be found.

Can someone help point me in the right direction to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

How do you know that game uses PNG?
texture can be a lot of kind of extension and types.

I just thought it might have some image files somewhere...

This user in the topic below posted a few examples he managed to extract:

Also a few files mention png files:

Check this post, you can get the texture and image files. It's a mix of dds and png format.

Hey,

I've seen this topic and got these files and opened them like described.

But I'm looking for other kind of png (not model or animation related), like the ones below:

Like someone said, if this is a mobile game, then they most likely use compressed formats to save space. Compressed formats like PVR and KTX. Even if the file extension is called .PNG, some games use dummy placeholder extensions to store a different format.

So, look at the first 16 bytes of each .dat file with a hex editor. If you see the text 'KTX', then it's a KTX graphics file. You can rename this .dat file to .ktx and load into PVRTexTool, then export to whatever format you want.

0000000000000000.dat on this link is a KTX file:

Hi, thanks a lot. Really appreciate your help!

Do you have any idea where I can find the strings?

Thanks again

Sorry, I don't know about text strings. I was only interested in the graphics.

Is the game localized in different languages? Text should be easy to find if the game is written in dozen of languages.
