Hello Leycarno,
as far as I know, there isn't a direct wall extractor for LOL1, but you can try some tools (like uncps-AGA for AMIGA),
and there are sources to get info ( EoB Wiki or ScummVM sources Kyra Engine ),
or you can try contact the user takis76gr on this forum, maybe he has already ...

Just a small update.
Westpak2 0.70a

I hope to have solved access violation, now fireball.shp and guard.shp are ok.
Still cannot decode WSA from FINALE1.PAK

No, I don't think I have any save games from near there. I would have to play it all again...
ok, I'll try to find something on the web as a reference.

The INI file doesn't always specify a palette (*.COL) but it usually specifies a level/data file to use (FOREST or TOWER for example) -- from ...

The only ones that still don't look right are:
TCABAL.SHP
WRAITH.SHP
APARITIN.SHP
...but I think this is because they use a lookup table to make them appear to be semi-transparent in the levels.
Do you have screenshot from the game for these? They can be useful.

Monsters that crash WestPak are ...

Thank you for the samples; they have been very useful!
Now remember, in the palette table for each SHP frame, I've applied only first 16 colors (in fact some are correct, and others not), because some SHP will not show up correctly.
Now, that I have enabled full palette, the image show up correctly ...

Well, I've managed to extract a bunch of stuff, but some palettes definitely don't work correctly, no matter what you do.
For example, The Amazon, Thug, Bandit and Orc Leader never look right. And even after I got the right palette for Yvel and applied it to the beasts from that level, those are ...

I did a quick test of grabbing screenshots from DosBox and it works -- but of course it's a standard 8-bit palette, while VGA only used 6-bits.

Import palette from PNG should already work in Westpak... I'll check it better....

Yep!
Lots of post recently :)

So, a very quick reply.

Yes, changing palette for SHP work only for current frame because the palette for ALL frames is applied only when clicking the first time on SHP.
So, when you find the correct palette, just select it, then click again on SHP and the selected ...

I have messed around with the different color pals for quite some time. Although, I still haven't been able to find the correct pal colors. Have you had any luck on your end?

What file/monster you are trying to show up correctly?
I do not have tried all of them... only a few.

Ok, found something.
Here.

You can find other palettes into other .PAK files, for ex. FOREST.PAK etc.
Or you can find a CPS with a palette (like GERIM.CPS).
Then select the pal and "save palette" to create a .PAL file.
So, you can use this "new" .PAL file into the palette list; the palette of CPS ...

Didn't know you were still around, but sweet program!
Yes, always around ;)

A tad buggy for sure, but would be awesome when it's fully operational. I have a couple things that maybe you can help me out with?
yes, if you're not in a hurry...

When I first start your new updated WestPak2 with ...

When I display a .shp using the WestPak2, the image's dimensions are very small like less then 100x100 pixel. I can export the images no problem, but the dimensions are so tiny.
Whoops, I reading better now... maybe you're referring to the real dimension of pics in the viewer?
Mmmm... you're right ...

Hey all,
Anyone still around in the forums that is familar with this WestPak2 program?
Yes, I'm still interested in Westpak2 and slowly working to support this and others games, but times is never enough :(

I have a quick question about it regarding Lands of Lore 1 .shp files.
When I display a ...

Has any progress been made with the extraction of graphics from Lands of Lore 1? Years ago I tried out some of the tools that were posted here, but I was never able to get them to work properly.

Greetings,
I'm the author of WestPak2.
It work very well on Westwood adventure (The Kyrandia saga ...
