Can I somehow recover my old custom team logos,midfields, etc from the data files?

Postby Redwolf » Sat Sep 12, 2020 7:26 pm

Hi guys,

I created and designed a 32 team texmod custom league for madden '08 - but ended up losing my source graphics (due to hard drive crash and new system). However, I still have the tpf's (unfortunately these are just the pure uniform pieces), but I do have the custom art data files for each team (all of course encoded/packaged in madden '08 format). I'd like to be able to deconstruct the files to get access once again to the bmp's.

Is there a way or a utility to do this?

Thanks for any help.

If you have the dats ..... I think you could edit the teams in game and extract the images with Texmod

I believe I have the dats somewhere if you don't

Try using the TPFExtract utility! to get the raw files from inside the tpf's!

If you have the team dat's, just put them in the \Madden nfl 08\teams\ folder, open madden and import them into a roster!

unfortunately, the tpf's are just the uniform pieces.

I need to be able to pull out my main logo's, endzones, helmets, etc. from the data files (as that is all I have).
Exporting the teams from the franchise files and adding them to a roster (or new roster) doesn't help. It still doesn't deposit the custom art files anywhere within madden 08, and still leaves them tied up in the data files, as far as I can see (exploring both main directory and my documents directory - they just aren't there/separated) :cry:

...i may have to re-explore texmod (been a long long time) as that is maybe the only way...???

If you have the customart.dat files then use DFR to extract the mmap files and then use MUER to extract the bmps from the mmap file.
