Hi there,
I would like to attempt to make a Utility that allows me, to view and edit Graphics from a certain WW2 Aircraft Combat DOS Game.
As I can't find one for these type of Graphics on the internet. Nothing too technical, but that would allow to extract the Graphics from certain .PAC Files which according to the Internet are an Atari Computer game 'STAD' Graphics. I would like to focus on the external Aircraft Graphics, the Cockpit interior and Wing Views from the Cockpit, would be rather tricky to edit. I.e. allow the graphics to be able to be, rotated from different angles, and edited to make new externally different Aircraft. Then saved back to the .PAC File Format so they can be used in the DOS Game. People have edited the performance, Colours etc mixed and matched with Cockpit Views etc, to make 'New' Planes on the Internet via Hex Editing on a 'MOD' Website on the Internet for this particular Game, but Changing external Graphics hasn't been achieved.
Could someone tell me of any Tutorials, i.e. Videos or Text Tutorials or other Forum Posts where, something along the lines of what I describe has been done or attempted, so I have a basis to start from with Python Coding ? Any Urls etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards
Eddie Winch
