The tools are now located on GitHub. Get the latest version here.



The original post is below.


First, some download links.

Download Windows .exe
Download source code


So what is this, anyways?
This is a pair of command-line programs that are capable of extracting and re-inserting textures in N64 ROMs.

Wait, why wouldn't I use Tile Molester for that?
Tile Molester has some subtle bugs with N64 color formats that cause corruption. It also doesn't support transparent graphics.

So how do I use it?
Use the -h option to see the help.

...Oh, examples? Okay. A command might look like this: 
export -a cdbbd1 -x 32 -y 32 -f rgba16 -b Cactus.bmp "Super Mario 64.ext.z64"
That will extract TCRF's famous cactus from an extended Super Mario 64 ROM to a GIMP-compatible file named Cactus.bmp. Importing looks like this: 
import -a AB7B8C -f GA16 -b Cactus.bmp "Super Mario 64.ext.z64"
Now the coins are cacti.

Wait, what's that about GIMP-compatible?
Well, see, I'm kind of... lazy. And it turns out, compiling libpng through MinGW isn't exactly my idea of fun. So, you have to use GIMP to convert the BMP files to something that other programs can work with, and then use GIMP to convert it back to BMP when you're done editing. (Or do all of your editing in GIMP, that works too.)

So what formats do you support?
Right now, I support two: RGBA16 and GA16. If you don't know which to use, try exporting with both formats and use the one that looks right. (Don't forget to use the same format when you're importing, or bad stuff might happen.)

Hey, can you support more formats?
Sure, just point me towards the format in question and I'll see what I can do.

Hey, can I use your code?
Sure, but you might be better off writing your own code. Be sure to look at how RGBA16 is handled in export.c, most people get that wrong.


Metal_Man88: This is a good place to point people who recommend using Tile Molester.

Yes. I'll keep this in mind, next time people try to link Tile Molester.

How I loathe that program.

I've wrote a frontend to your program and currently it can preview an image to 256 x 256.
It has the feature to rip, and to insert. Even a preview to check your settings.
You can also export and import images in png, tga, and bmp. This feature is provided by nconvert, an awesome image converter by XnView.

Features:
Easy import and export.
A preview window.
Corrects byte swapped roms.
Supports png, tga, and bmp.

Downloads:
N64Rip

Sorry about that, it seems I messed something up when I reset my router. Those links work now.

To what was previously here, I was using a bad rom file that actually was patched specifically for nemu64. Grabbed a new file and now images export correctly.

It looks like instead of using the real address of the cactus (0xcdbbd1), you used an incorrect value (0xcdbbce). Graphics tend to do weird things unless you have the exact starting address.

That, or your extended ROM is different from my extended ROM.

Wow, that looks very nice. I especially like the preview, it's very helpful.

In fact, I just used your program to rip this:

Nintendo 64 textures can't be larger than a specific file size. The average texture will be anywhere from 16x16 to 64x64 (grayscale), with some exceptions. However, the largest textures you can probably expect will actually be 320 pixels wide and... probably no taller than 128 pixels, though allowing a canvas height of 240 couldn't hurt.

Edit: I know exactly which game that's from, but I won't spoil it.

Huh. Yeah, I should definitely put this tool front and center of the SM64 forum, as people using Tile Molester are the bane of my existence.

I do have an update to this program. nconvert for XnView can successfully convert the bmp to png with transparency. but I'm having a big issue making the png go back to bmp for imports. The new update also has a handler if you specify a name with out the .bmp extension, it will auto add the extension on. And it wont allow you to do any operations until a rom file has been specified. It also utilizes the temp dir.

N64Rip.zip

@Peardian: You can always specify any size in the front end. The program will end up just squishing it but you should still get an idea of what your ripping.

@Joe: What are requirements for bmp import?

It has to be 32 bits per pixel with an alpha channel. If your BMP file meets those requirements but my program doesn't accept it, send it to me and I'll use it to update my program.

Just got home, original post have been updated with new version.

To the nconvert issue:
nconvert's bmp is correct but in hex editor compared to your exporter, one byte is off.
When changed from 0x00 to 0x10 like original, importer accepts it.
Previewer shows confirmed import of file.

byte is at 0x23 in file.

That's a bug in nconvert. Going by Microsoft's names, they forgot to set biSizeImage. (Going by what my code says, that one would be sz_image, but I made those names up myself.)

I'll go update my code now.

Edit: All right, done. Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

N64Rip.zip

Recreated it! I'm also not hosting it on mediafire so it shouldnt randomly disseapear again.
If your antivirus complains, its because its UPX packed.

EDIT: Since I can't remember if I did this before.
The import.exe and the export.exe as well as nconvert.exe is embedded inside the exe.
No need to download the other programs.

Very thanks, but i can't find the pic because show only an offset and search for every offset is too long, I can help me with the offset of the names of the PNG exported with the Project 64 mod of the texture exporter/loader? Otherwise what I can find the offsets of the textture to change? Thanks.

My project is of uncensor the Cruis'n serie, I'm creating the reources (images and sounds) but is very hard to work in the N64 roms, but I've created things as there:



And in the Project 64 run as:

If you're interested to help me (but is hard, because few things are hide in the map of the race and must be moved to the correct place) let me know, thanks howewer for now.

Great work with this so far. I also have to ask what is GA16? That happens to be a format I am unfamiliar with. Here is some other texture formats used by N64 games that you might want to consider adding for support for the program.

4-bit RGBA
8-bit RGBA
4-bit YUV
8-bit YUV
16-bit YUV
4-bit CI
8-bit CI
16-bit CI
4-bit IA

It's the same thing you refer to as 16-bit IA. I was in a bit of a hurry and used the first name that came to mind; I haven't changed it simply because I'm lazy.

I'm happy to add supports for more formats. Just point me to a game (and a ROM address) and I'll add it as soon as possible.

The only catch is that some formats require extra data in order to decode them properly. Any color indexed formats need a color list in order to decode textures. The YUV formats need the constants that are used by the RDP to convert them back to RGB. (The latter requires a modified build of MESS to get the conversion constants, which can be game- or texture-specific.)
