Frenkel Smeijers		 22.5 Legend of Seven Paladins (LSP3D) Extractor for use in DOS.

This program extracts levels, pictures, sounds, music's and palettes from Legend of Seven Paladins. It works with Lmart000.dat and Lvart000.dat (Archives storing most of the game's data files).

L0art000.dat and L1art000.dat (Textures and Sprites) can't be extracted, because they are just Tiles000.art with a different name. So you can edit them with Editart which you can get from the Duke Nukem 3D CD or something like that. Or, if you are really cheap, you can get Editart from the Fate demo.

The levels can't be edited immediately. You need to convert them first with Ken Silverman's Converters. Legend of Seven Paladins uses version 4. Build (from Duke Nukem 3D for example) can only use version 7. So you need to convert them from version 4 to version 5, 5 to 6 and 6 to 7.

 

 
Flic Format FAQ
Mike Haaland
 3.56 Flic Files (.FLI) Format description:

The details of a FLI file are moderately complex, but the
idea behind it is simple: don't bother storing the parts of a
frame that are the same as the last frame. Not only does this
save space, but it's very quick. It's faster to leave a pixel
alone than to set it.

A FLI file has a 128-byte header followed by a sequence of
frames. The first frame is compressed using a bytewise run-length
compression scheme. Subsequent frames are stored as the
difference from the previous frame....

?Autodesk?		 5.11M A DOS-based professional (1993) animation tool. It could create full motion animations using VGA 320*200 256 color resolutions. It supports a number of animation techniques, and includes a freely redistributable animation player. It saves animations to the .FLI or "QuickFlick" format.
