WC Armada .TRE making and .VGA viewer
Hello.
At first, thanks to WC-CIC web site and many of MOD creators for reading and editing tools.
Well, I've played the W.C.Armada(WCA) ago, which was similar as Homeworld strategy series, the great games for me.
Now I've found the great DOSBOX and WCA's ship-editor, so I've got a wonderful time again.
I've managed to extract WCA's DATA.TRE with using a Positoron's WCA ship-editor tool, and found some movie files in C:\WCA\DATA\GAMEFLOWS, each name as "intro.TGV", "*.VGA", "midgame*.VGA".
I'd like to see what this all "midgame*.VGA" contain, because I want see this *.VGA movie, but I could not find out the tool of viewing these ".VGA" file.
It might exist the another method to see the *.VGA;
rename each *.VGA's file name, and re-pack(or re-build) to the DATA.TRE.
I've tried or searched the re-create DATA.TRE for WCA.
I've used some of *.TRE creating mods, with using TRE-creator desighed for WC4/WCSO, or TREMERGE.exe with "/" option (this exe is inclueded in the WCA ship editor's zip, I don't know the option switch command w/o readme).
But, all failed in the game booting with error messages.
The error message means, maybe, the DATA.TRE is not created regularly.
So, I've tried the ripper5, but nothing to get from these *.VGA file.
Does anyone know how to watch or extract these *.VGA files ?
or, how to re-build the DATA.TRE for the WCA ?
I've searched the website and this forum, but I could not found the related info abut this.
Sorry, I'm not good at writing in english.
Well, In 1990-1999, I've bought WC3,4,5, WCA, Privateer2(Dos and WindowsCD). Also bought, Homeworld 1-2, StrikeCommander & plus, Descent 1-3, FreeSpace 1-2. It may be the golden decade for the famous sci-fi pc games. Where about WC6? Descent4? Homeworld3? FreeSpace3? ...I'd like to buy and play these series continuous...
Thanks

extract the file and shove it into the necessary data folder and rename it, and HOPEFULLY it will play it instead of the intro, i know armada does read decompressed data.tre's but i can't help more without having a play!
