I keep forgetting to rant at the office. Ah well... Perhaps Friday
Random topic; So I'm trying to rip models and textures out of PS1 games. In particular, I'd like to grab some game board maps from Final Fantasy Tactics. (I have my reasons).
So far, I've only been able to extract texture data using a Direct X extractor while running an emulator set to DX mode. Less luck using an OpenGL interceptor using the appropriate driver.
I've had luck using these to grab WoW models and such in the past, but not so much with the PS1. Spits out textures (some times), but seems to fail at the geometry.
So I ask; Got any suggestions? Some one already do this and would like to point me in the right direction?

It was a "hot pot."

I'm one to talk. I mean, I come from the land of scrapple and hog maw, but I still can't get my head around, say, a fried chicken foot.
I am also open to the possibility that it just wasn't a very good hot pot.
Ms. Wicked was kind enough to put me up for a week in Texas.

...I guess I'm threatening looking. In an angsty, stick figurey kinda way. I think.

By contrast, Greg lives about 25 miles north and does comics about the San Francisco's ever-changing weather.

We're going to take a mulligan on the logo shirt and redesign it, but the redesigned "sell your soul for a cookie" shirt is up.
See, because fist weapons don't grant a backstab ability and...

Taking my time with this one. I want to make sure it's done right. I shall continue to chip away at it over the weekend. However don't expect another comic after this one bright and early, Monday. I'll be all groggy and shit.
