TextureExtraction Tool v1.5

[Venomalia]

Is a Command line tool for extracting GC and Wii textures from disc and is compatible with Dolphin's texture hash. It allows you to extract textures from a game without having to play through the game with dolphin first. The tool can be used for any game, but the extraction rate depends on what formats the game uses and if the tool supports them. the tool can also unpack all supported formats. The most common formats are already supported, new features and formats will be added over time.

I am open for suggestions.

I've mentioned it elsewhere but I really can't wait see where this goes. Hopefully after BREFT, BRRES, etc are done a number of Wii games will be supported too.

Thanks again for your work on this!

That's brilliant, Venomalia. Thank you for putting effort into that.
I will test it as soon as I have some spare time.

Being able to dump textures from any game without having to first play them would be an incredible step forward. Can't wait to see how this progresses, great work so far!

.nut or NUTC are mainly found in Namco Games. I have tested Donkey Konga 2 and Star Fox Assault.
my result in Star Fox Assault are 3000 textures in total 60mb in under 10s.

next i take care of BREFT, BRRES support the typical wii data types.

Many more games are now supported. The known results in the main post also include some results from iwubcode, which he sent me.
TEX0 with pallets are currently not supported, do not be surprised if they are simply skipped.

because it was brought to my attention,
It can always happen that Windows Defender or another program detects the tool as a Trojan or virus, unfortunately I have no great influence on it.
virustotal.com shows at least no abnormalities.

This is amazing work. I've been researching how Dolphin generates it's texture names and this tool might be exactly what I need for some of the projects I'm working on.

I'm not sure what the best way is to provide you with input on issues we find, but I've identified that images in BRES files that use a shared palette (such as many Brawl mods) do not export correctly - they will export only the first image of each image set. I'm not sure if support for that will ever come since I'm not sure the base game ever uses the shared palette method, but it is a valid format for a BRES file so I figured I would mention it.

I noticed it's actually skipping textures that would end up with a duplicate name, which could actually be the issue, since all the textures would have a duplicate name without the tlut being hashed. Maybe you could add a flag to not skip duplicate textures?

Appreciate the work, excited to see how far this gets.
