question concerning Palmer
« on: 2011-03-17 16:06:21 »
During my work on resizing field backgrounds I noticed it seems as if Palmer is leaving out a couple of layers on certain images. A couple instances of this that I have noticed so far have come up in the northern cave. A specific example is the spiral that you climb down if you go left(or right from the camera's perspective), known as las1_1 in flevel.lgp, is missing the background when i extract png's from palmer. Only the spiral comes out, the background is nowhere to be found. So far I have found one other instance of missing layers on image las0_3. So I was just wondering if anybody happens to know, is Palmer not yet able to read and extract some of these files, or should I be looking somewhere else? I already referenced the file reconstruction project and wasn't able to find what I was looking for so I have no choice but to assume the former but I thought I might as well ask. It's really no big deal if it can't get to them right now, I am sure Palmer will get updated some day and I will keep track of all the files that have missing layers until then, however if there is a way to do them now and I am just looking in the wrong place, I would rather finish them completely now.

I don't know if this is even mentioned in the original palmer thread but if you right click in the main window you will see another menu where you can play around with animations and change between the two parallax layers and the "normal" layer.

Its not a very nice solution and parallax layers will probably not import/save properly but I am working on that.

well I'll mess around with it, haven't really used the right click menu at all so far so I'll see if maybe I can get it working. If not, no biggie, I'll just wait for the next release and keep a log file of which images are incomplete. Thanks for the info Aali.

*edit* well you were right on both accounts as per usual
the images were hidden in the parallax layers all right, however, a lot of them don't seem to be extracting correctly, some just give black images and some don't extract anything at all while some seem to work fine. I'll just hold off on editing the parallax until you are able to get them working more stable. Thanks again!
