HPK Extract

hpk_extract - Release 1.0 - by botman (http://planethalflife.com/botman) hpk_extract allows you to extract bitmap images from the custom.hpk file in your Half-Life MOD directory. The hpk_extract utility will create a bitmap (.bmp) file for each spray logo that is stored in the custom.hpk file. Spray logos that are in a monochrome format will be stored in a file named "logo_m_N.bmp" (where N is a counter, like 1, 2, 3, etc.). Color spray logos will be stored in a file named "logo_c_N.bmp" (where N is a counter, like 1, 2, 3, etc.). As the hpk_extract utility is running, it will print out the name of the WAD file stored in the custom.hpk file. It will also print out the name of the MIP (image) stored in that WAD and it will print the width and height of the image. When the hpk_extract utility reaches the end of the custom.hpk file, it will print out the total number of monochrome and color bitmap files that were created. The bitmap files that are created will probably be around 10K bytes per file. If you have a 1 megabyte custom.hpk file, this will give you about 100 bitmap images. Running hpk_extract on Windows machines: Unzip the hpk_extract.zip file into a directory of your choice. If you are running a Win32 dedicated server or listen server, you will need to run hpk_extract from an MS-DOS session. For Win9x you can start an MS-DOS window by using Start->Programs->MS-DOS Prompt. For other versions of Windows, try Start->Run->cmd.exe. Change to the directory where you unzipped the hpk_extract utility and run it with the path to your custom.hpk file. For example... C:\hpk> hpk_extract D:\games\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike\custom.hpk Running hpk_extract on Linux machines: Unzip the hpk_extract.zip file (using unzip, not gunzip) into a directory of your choice. Change the permissions on the "hpk_extract" file to make it executable (i.e. chmod 744 hpk_extract). Run the hpk_extract utility and specify the path to your custom.hpk file. For example... /usr/games/hpk# hpk_extract /usr/games/hlds_l/tfc/custom.hpk
