Also here's the boss/character slides:

Ah sweet, thanks! By the way I've been meaning to ask, could I have some Don't Starve animation/tex files? I got the ktools source code off github and while I don't totally understand what's going on there I'd like to at least try and figure out how it reads the files. It might give me some kind of starting point to work with. (I found an ONI tool too but I already got some animation files for that)

Anyhow, here's the nearly the rest of the slides, but assembled without the glowy effects because I think we're going to need to wait for the animation files for those:

Drone Master Jeol:

Sparky:

Only one left from what I can tell is Oolo, but uh

Edit: y'know what here have Oolo herself but that Oshnu is gonna have to wait

Hadn't noticed this thread til now, but I actually wrote basic converters (tex to png & bin files to scml) for Griftlands back when the game first launched on Steam.  If someone from Klei can clarify whether it's fine to post converters for the game, I'd be willing to share them.

Unlike other Klei games (like Don't Starve Together), Griftland animations are a tad different in that most characters have their individual sections (head, body, hands, etc.) split up into separate files.  So, for most characters, multiple anim.bin and build.bin files would need to be merged (this is what the game engine does) to construct a full character; otherwise, you'll end up with zombie-like animation that lack certain body parts.  

The anim.bin files also differ in that most consist of: (a) animations that rapidly cycle through the frames for a compiled body part (left eye, right eye, etc.) of a section (head, body, etc.), and (b) one or more "complete" animations for that section, but these reference multiple partial animations from (a).  So, most animations are just a slideshow for all the poses of an individual body part and "complete" animations aren't fully represented in a single Spriter file (see example below).  

For example, if we look at the lrg_shroog_build anim.bin file.  There are 4 animations within this file: character, head_swap, back, and eye.

Spoiler

   

As you can probably tell, the "character" animation is incomplete because it actually references partial animations from head_swap, back, and eye. But, unfortunately, this isn't something that Spriter can natively do.  Not to mention that Spriter also doesn't support free-form deformations, so not all animations will be accurately representable.

And, here is a similar incomplete example with the "character" animation from med_sal_build (Sal's body):

Spoiler

 

And a more "completed" version that includes the partial animations from med_sal_build - arm, neck, collar

Since this is a data-mining thread, here are some additional animations (including boss_oolo_slide that was mentioned in the above posts):

Spoiler

birds_across

boss_oolo_slide

  

logo_text_anim

lumin_rat

  

med_flead_larvae

  

world_campfire

 

EDIT:  Got clarification from Klei, see this post for the tools.

I've seen the tools used for Don't Starve and ONI animations posted here before so it should be fine, I think. I don't know if I'll ever use them myself but I'm sure it would be appreciated. (I'm mostly curious as to how the files work so I'd love to see how you cracked them open LOL)

Also, I had this downloaded when I was a game ripping newb and I didn't really know what I was doing—anyone heard of Dragonbones? Very similar program, a little newer than Spriter, I think. I wonder if it would be able to handle the different animation files all at once.

If it did, I don't see it anywhere. It's not even defined in the code. (I could just go into a Rook run and check but I don't have the time at the moment lol)

Anyway, new stuff, new stuff!

A preview of the Grifts system (from grift_defs.lua):

Spoiler

-- Grifts are achievement-style milestones that bestow Perk Points when completed.

And here are the current milestones:

"Win 10 Battles"
"Win 50 Battles"
"Win 250 Battles"
"Win 10 Negotiations"
"Win 50 Negotiations"
"Win 250 Negotiations"
"Install 10 Grafts"
"Install 100 Grafts"
"Beat Sparky"
"Beat Jeol"
"Upgrade 5 cards"
"Upgrade 25 cards"
"Upgrade 100 cards"
"Upgrade 300 cards"
"Deal 500 damage"
"Deal 1000 damage"
"Deal 250 resolve damage"
"Deal 750 resolve damage"

 

It looks like it's related to the new graft type. Speaking of that, here's what they do (from perk_grafts.lua):

holy hesh I can't wait to try these out. Also I guess I have an excuse to add the functionality to export the graft icons to my script, so let me go do that...

[pacovf]

Some of those effects are really powerful. I don’t know how I feel about the rogue-legacy mechanics though. It’s not like the game is so hard you need extra help to finish it.

I don't think it'd be a problem, seeing as there's no precedent for them not being okay with people posting how to rummage through their files (aside from DST's .dyn files for rather obvious reasons).

Are you forgetting about Prestige and Mutators?

[SpicyNiceCream]

tbh even prestige 15 isn't really that hard.

[pacovf]

Not forgetting about Prestige. Even at Prestige 15, it’s just not a very hard game. Mutators can make the game arbitrarily hard, sure, but then it’s about the player deciding how much harder (or easier) they want the game to be for them to have fun. Arguing that extra advantages for the player are necessary to handle nightmare mutator combinations just doesn’t make sense. The only reason someone would put themselves through that it’s precisely because it’s super hard. So it defeats the purpose.

You want to ask @JoeW for specifics, but we do have a policy document for this somewhere. Steam workshop maybe? I think it mostly boils down to "If you're not doing something you obviously shouldn't do then have fun!"

Examples of things that aren't cool is "mods" that give you a DLC without paying for it, or just generally illegal / horrible stuff.

I specifically encourage security research into our network protocols / servers / etc - see our security.txt for details if you find something cool.

Some of those new cards got some shiny final icons so here:

And a Smith one, specifically that item you get from that mission so I'll put it in a spoiler to be safe:

[Instant-Noodles]

Thanks to @JoeW and @nome for the clarification.  I've just made a Github repository for the tools here:  https://github.com/instant-noodles/gltools

Both are command line tools and will require Python (with the Pillow library) installed.  To use, download everything in the src folder, then from command line (change "python" to the appropriate command for your OS; for Windows, it is "py" and for Linux, it is "python3"), type:

Tex to PNG Conversion (glt2p.py)
To convert a single .tex file:

python glt2p.py <path-to-file>

To convert all .tex files in a folder:

python glt2p.py <path-to-folder>

Note: Some .tex files (such as most of the ones from the plax folder) require data from a separate .tex file.  You will need to place the second .tex file in the same folder to proceed.  The tool will prompt you if it can't locate the second .tex file.

Bin Files to SCML Conversion (glb2s.py)
To convert anim.bin, atlas0.tex, and build.bin:

python glb2s.py <path-to-folder>

Note: As mentioned in my previous post, some of the animations in the converted scml file may be incomplete (i.e. missing parts or blank).  This is because those animations are actually referencing frames from other animations within the same Spriter project and Spriter is unable to do this natively.  Likewise, as Spriter does not support free-form deformations, some animations may differ slightly to what's shown in the game.

EDIT: Turns out the Pro version of Spriter actually does support referencing other animations within the same project and it's also backwards compatible with the free version.  So, I've just updated the tools to Version 1.1 to make use of this feature.  Converted scml files will now display parts that were previously missing due to this reason.

Hello,Sei !

I'm a DST modder (You know,a Don't Starve Together modder),and I'm obsessed with GriftLand's SFX,animation and its music.

Maybe it sounds too greed,but I do want EVERY unpacked game animation and sound data of this game.I mean,just think how much favor they will do to me in my DST mod designing,only if I can get them !

And I try to unpack game's  TEX files with DST TEX Tool,however,I failed.

I hear that you have unpacked some of the game resources(maybe all of them ?).So........would you mind to help me,and give me a zip of the unpacked game resources ?

Thanks a lot !

[Liquid Ocelot]

wait a minute.I found your tool in this topic,I'll try latter!

[Liquid Ocelot]

Ah,thanks to your tool,I can finally unpack these game resources.

But here comes another question ---------- I find no tool to unpack sound files (.bank files)......
