Error when converting Steam game files from .dat to .png
Posted: 17 Nov 2023 19:52
Trying to rip some sprites for a small personal project I'm working on.
When I try to convert the .dat files (pulled from the Steam game files), the trackst.dat worked fine, but others gave the error message '____.dat is not a .dat file'.
In this topic someone said these files are protected and mentioned there being a method for avoiding this protection.
Could someone point me toward the tool or process I need to do this?
I'm sure this has been answered somewhere but I couldn't find it.
