      Hello there,i came here to contact Herb Fargus about some program he made a documentation about several years ago for this particular game,according to what people have told me he is quite hard to find and so far i haven't seen any methods of contacting him privately so here i am.

      Recently i have been struggling with mmatyas's sprite ripping tool...according to what Herb Fargus' documentation was about,i assume the tool was meant for Linux,so i ran Linux on a virtual machine,i had a bit of knowledge of how bash works but the thing is i still have less experience with Bash

      I compiled the tool itself but,in the documentation is says that i should run the tool by typing "./ab_aniex FILENAME.ANI",which is kinda confusing,when i type that into bash,it just tells me that "it's a directory",was i supposed to have an executable by the name of ab_aniex or am i missing something?

        @Naps Some reference links to what tool you're referring might help, since this is not a general/understood topic here in the forums.

            FILENAME.ANI is a generic name, you need to find the .ANI files from an Atomic Bomberman installation and run it against those files - with their real name.

            First get the original .ani files from Atomic Bomberman and place them in a folder somewhere.

              That's something i understood, i tried to run a sprite by the name of "ALIENS1.ANI"
              "./ab_aniex ALIENS1.ANI" in the location of where the ab_aniex folder is but
              it keeps telling me that it is a directory and it won't run

              which i don't doubt it's a directory,the main problem is that,i do not know what am i supposed to run the sprites with

                @Naps Have you compiled the project from https://github.com/mmatyas/ab_aniex ? It should produce a program in the src sub-folder, which you can execute with the command from the documentation.
