Decompile Existing Mod?

[Cmd_Smith]

Is there a way to decompile an existing BFII mod? I solely want to look at the files for a few weapons and units from a mod that I have in my addon folder. So is there any decent .lvl decompiler to unwrap the files so I can take a look?

No, not really.

:/ No way to extract textures?

textures may be possible, but I am not aware of any automatic tool.

Could you maybe walk me through the process?

1) Examine Riley's pages (search downloads). 

2)  Write your own lvl extractor.

3)  Enjoy.

Hey,

if you want to extract just textures from .lvl files, there is a .lvl extractor.
It delivers .dds files and you can convert them online or using photoshop or something like that into .tga files.

.lvl Extractor

Edit:
Extract the zip archive to any place on you computer, go into the directory (explorer) and press SHIFT + Rightclick. Theres a command "open cmd here" or something similar. Type in the name of the extracter.exe => extract.exe and then space and the .lvl name of your file

(or drag the .lvl file and drop it on the extract.exe)

Thanks man! Works like a charm... although, when I open the files, it says some of them are corrupted/too large. I double they are too large.. why are they corrupted?

i tried this on BF2 lvl files before and got the same error. the extractor is designed for BF1 so im not sure if its 100% compatible. maybe there is a fix?

there is also battlebelks 010 editor script texture extractor but it also was designed specifically for BF1

Luckily, the files I wanted to see weren't corrupted XD
