They are army.trs etc. It is no conventional format and is only used in JK's own program spooky sprites. I don't know anything about formats, but I suspect it might be difficult to extract them. It is possible to make tga's from the sprites in spooky, but I'm not sure if you can extract a whole bunch at a time. If so I could probably make a library of tga's for modders.

You may now create a picture containing all sprites.

If it's possible to create a single image containing all the sprites, that could be a quick and simple way of providing all the sprites for modders and would be entirely sufficient (especially if lateral offsets in each sprite are preserved or somehow inferrable) in my opinion - modders can crop out individual sprites as needed.

tc sprite x,y,n,scr,spr
This instruction draws a sprite created with Spooky Sprites (by Johan Karlsson - d92jk@efd.lth.se ) in true colour mode. X and Y are the co-ordinates at which to plot the sprite. N is the number of the sprite to draw. SCR is the address of the screen, and SPR is the address of the sprite bank.

Spooky Sprites v 6 available from here:

Anyone knnow anything about Atari? This is your chance to prove its power!

The download URL seems broken. Does anyone have the file?

Has anyone explored this further? This approach would be MUCH better then my planned automated screen shot capture method.

I guess everyone is hoping KO will come through and save us all the trouble

spooky4.lzh extracted and re-packed into spooky4.zip.

Anyone up to launching this old, old version of Spooky Sprites and seeing what happens?

If someone is able to get this software working well enough to extract 1 sprite I can probably build a macro that can automate mouse movement, clicks and sending keys to the program.

So assuming you have to manually extract each sprite (vs having some kind of batch command) I could likely setup something to "batch" it.
