Exported all files to a folder and cannout find them
Thanks in advance, I've probably overlooked it quite a few times :/

Re: [HELP] Asset Icons
I assume that is: assets\fx\gui\textures...
There are 53 folders with 1666 files (all *.gz). Expand and then change the filename to .... .dds.
Example:
si_shipyard.gz
7zip expands to si_shipyard
Change to si_shipyard.dds
I remember the first X_series. They also did not write the dds. No idea why.
So extract all of them and than with an auto-rename programm you can add to all files .. .dds

Sweet, many thanks. I must gave overlooked it quite a few times.
Makes for a long tedious unpack, rename, find process. Now that I know where to look is the majority of the battleThere are 53 folders with 1666 files (all *.gz). Expand and then change the filename to .... .dds.
Example:
si_shipyard.gz
7zip expands to si_shipyard
Change to si_shipyard.dds

It must be a nineties thing.I remember the first X_series. They also did not write the dds. No idea why.

Then again, most German or European Devs from that era/region all have a similar process/structure.
Does make you wonder if it's all worth this compression, packing, and storing method and how must slow the loading process when running the game.
Thanks again, now I can get back to what I am doing, helped a lot cheers.
