Any way to extract Marathon Durandal XBLA HD Terminal images?

[eisnerguy1]

I was wondering if there was any way to extract the Marathon Durandal XBLA HD terminal images from a decompressed default.xex file/extracted .exe file? Or, have the HD terminal images already been extracted/uploaded somewhere?

If you view the extracted exe/decompressed xex file in a hex editor, you'll see the list of Terminal Images.

The images are located inside the Core.mark archive. If you unpack that with mark2dir.pl, you'll find them under the same directory structure referenced by the .xex. It's not very exciting, as they seem to be exactly the same as the originals, but you probably have everything you need to take a look for yourself!

Another Duh moment for me 😄 Seriously, thanks so much for creating these awesome tools and for all of the Marathon/Aleph One things you do .

Folks like you are why I do it - It makes me smile whenever I hear of someone using these to have fun digging into the guts of a game, the same way I did when I first got into Marathon hacking. Have a blast exploring!

BTW, Core.mark also has plenty of random UI images used in the title screen and options/help, so check those out if you're interested.
