other than bmps and wavs - shin hanazumi - 09-13-2011
Is there any trick to use unbmp for sprite or unwav for sound effect??
That thing really bother me, because i don't have pic editor/converter and sound converter. Thanks

And why is this topic in Data Changing?
For music HEX solution
For bmp search for lf2.exe with transparency.

Thing is that Marti went the way with least resistance. As for wav-files, one does not need any DLLs or similar to play it (unlike mp3, for example). A similar thing applies for bitmaps: those images are not optimized in any way, the exe doesn't need to "decrypt" the image to find out what's going where, it's fairly intuitive instead (for a computer, at least).
There was once a patcher for LF2 that enabled reading PNG-files. The good thing is: your sprite-folder is only 10% of the original size. The bad thing: loading is super-slow (internally, the png's are being converted back to bmp to treat those accordingly). I guess, a similar thing would apply if one enabled non-wav-support for sounds: reading *.xyz, converting to *.wav, and working with that.
The only way to play wma-files is by using the "music"-tag. The downside is, though, that it interrupts any playing background music.
So, I guess you can bury your ideas as they're simply unpractical. Also, DCing-section is, indeed, a bit inadequate.... therefore, --> hex

so, all file except wav for sound effect and all file except bmp for image can't work for LF2 2.0a? I think only because my old laptop :P.

Don't worry, my laptop matches the speed of my internet, ergo: slowwwwwwwww
Well, thing is that, with tons of hacking, you can enable support for different formats, but they'd severely impact the gameplay in terms of speed (awkward loading times mainly).
