i'm guessing you mean my mediafire link, since oxfea's links are still good. you can find all of that stuff in my last patch release, among all the other stuff i added.

Good part is: Things like Cursors and Artifacts (not with expansions) are available as PNG in the game:
_____________
Bad part is : I have downloaded the graphics only to find they have a lot of color contamination due to non-transparent background
The "partially blue" pixels won't look good when transferring; they are suppossed to be partial transparency but they are blended with the background color.
A new transfer/extract would have to happen where the DDS is correctly recognized. Anyone have ideas?

i've never seen the transparent png's before. you extract those yourself? i've been cutting the latter out manually.

The first came as normal in the ubisoft stuff, not even compressed. Because they are interface elements.
I am sure it is possible to get the second ones as PNG with transparency too. Even if you extract as DDS, then you can convert. But don't know which tools to use to extract, and coudn't find anything online.
The files are
bitmap_DXT_com_x2.pak
and
bitmap_DXT_com_x3.pak
I have tried to extract as zip and rar but no luck.

this may sound stupid, but would they open with the lod editor? pac files work, maybe a pak file'll work?

You can replace white or blue color with transparency using irfan and bath process.

In part but such conversion is still buggy, the edges will not be 100% fine
I have contacted the original guy that extracted it (probably russian since he uses Yadisk)
with the following message
Quote: Hey, how did you extract the sprites from ubisoft's PAK in H3 HD edition?
I would like to tey to get the sprites with the correct pixel transparency
It's unlikely he will see it since he is no longer active, but worth a try.
If anyone can open the PAK do tell.
