Read everything, including the README file in the zip.

there is no read me. r u sure that script covers cmdlg.ocx? coz the "helpme" dosnt.

All you have to do is unzip it into the same folder as the Image Extractor. It's really simple.

comdlg.ocx is in the same directory as the image extractor... its right next to it! i said 2 extract everything into the same directory but now it thinks that comdlg.ocx is missing when it is right next to it, it also says that comdlg.ocx may be outdated and that would i please use the version that comes with the extractor. how do i choose which version i use???

0 - What do we need?

If we don't have these allready,

We need this tool.

We need Warcraft III. (Go buy it!)

We need the Storm.dll from the
Warcraft III dir (copy it to the
dir that this tool is residing in)

We need ijl15.dll from the Warcraft
III directory. (same as above)

We need Visual Basic Dll files
(search the internet :P)

We need 32Bit colors! (maybe 24Bit will do)
Check your desktop resolution and
color depth!

The other usual stuff, keyboard, mouse,
monitor and computer (sound is not needed yet)

if the computer says it need all those things mentioned above then so be it... At the moment it only needs comdlg.ocx and that is where the problem is, I have it, it is in the same dir as the extractor but the extractor can't see it.

================================

1 - Viewing an image

If you installed Warcraft III correctly,
the images from the main warcraft archive
would load up automatically.

If not, you will have to open up the main
archive (or any other mpq archive with
images) by using the 'Open' menu, and
then selecting 'Archive' (or by using
the hot-key Ctl-A)

Now there will be a (by default) treeview
image of the contents, there you can
browse through the images with ease.
You might prefer a ListView of the images,
this can be chosen by opening the View
menu and selecting ListView (or by using
the hot-key Ctl-L).

Just click an image to show it in the
preview box.

================================

2 - Extracting an image

Load up an image by using the method
described under '1 - Viewing an image'.
Open up the Save menu and select 'Image'
(or use the hot-key Ctl-S).
Now select the path to extract too and the
format (from the drop-down combobox).
This also works in a sortwise manner when
selecting multiple images while viewing
in ListView.
Note: if you choose .jpg as extraction
format, you will be prompted for the
desired JPG compression quality (higher
is better but requires more HD space).
================================

3 - Converting a .tga to .blp (advanced)

Load the Targa file by opening up the
'Open' menu and selecting 'Image'
(hot-key Ctl-O). Now you may browse
to the place where your Targa Image
resides.
Click on it.
Now the Targa Image is loaded, open
the 'Save' menu and selecting 'Image'
(hot-key Ctl-S).
Now select the path to save to, and
select the .blp format. You will now
be prompted for the desired JPG
compression quality (higher is better
but requires more HD space and system
memory).

NOW SHUTUP

Ok, here's an idea.

Download the latest version of WINMPQ from Shadowflare's site.

Also make sure you download all of the Visual Basic stuff that it says you need from the same place. Now install all of those things first, then reset your comp. Now try the Image Extractor...

your point is???
i have read the help me already, u r seriouly confusing me u know? (to the guy before Draco)

hay Draco, I got WinMPQ but (not to be rude) r there other dls that i need, like i dled one thing but do u need others 4 it to work? coz it says " The application failed to start coz VB40032.DLL was not found. Re-nstalling the application may fix the problem. I didn't install the programme in the first place but do u dl VB40032.DLL?

You gotta try my idea about Visual basic now. Go to Shadowflare's site. Probably a link to it in the WINMPQ download section. Install all of the Visual Basic and stuff it says you need to run WINMPQ.

THX!!! IT WORKS!!! YAHOOOO!!!
say sorry to the maker of the Extractor 4 me being rude if u see him.

thx very much...

well, if u ever have problems with comdlg.ocx then don't bother with the image extractor... get WinMPQ then search google 4 VB40032.DLL, unzip it into the folder where u put WinMPQ and the problem is solved!

Yay!!

P.S. Sorry about calling you a moron earlier... Sometimes, people get angry for no good reason. ;)

I quite understand. there r many examplesd of people like that! (eg: me,me,me,me and....um did i mention me?). I regrette what i called DJBnJack now. How do u put that little pic on the left side of your email?
