Dunno how you identify it

the best i can tell you is open a bunch of known textures in a hex editor and inspect the patterns closely, and do the
same with a bunch of different known model files too, your pattern recognition skills will get better the more you see them.

If I may ask you again, do you remember what the image file do you get from the last .dat that you convert to .png before ( dds, png, dxt, or else ) ? I already see the tutorial, according to it I must use "find" command and type image format in there ( dds, png, or else ) and if I find it in the bunch of HEX at the right, that means .dat contains image data depend on what format I typing in.

PS : thanks for the code, now I'm still tried to search from the hex editor for the correct image file one. Hope I can find it and soon I can extract and convert it to .png format as you do before.

Regards

Anyway can you rip .STREAM2 file anyway ? I have a instinct if the textures are packed inside this file, since .stream2 file has big file size. Thank you

i'm don't fully understand what you saying, but the converted image i posted on the first page was 00082fc6.dat

i don't know this tutorial, the image files have no useful file names and are headerless like i say before, there is nothing you
can search for in there, you have to identify the data with your eyes. you could also sort the folder by size and examine the
files that share the same size, they are likely image data.
there is nothing more i can add to this thread so good luck!
