Originator Adds Extraction Features for Arena, WC4, Secret Ops and More

Today we've got another exciting update to AllTinker's Originator tool! It includes a number of welcome additions from around the franchise. The program will now be able to peer into the code of the magazine-distributed version of Wing Commander Arena, adds new abilities for reading files from Wing Commander 4 on PC/Playstation, plus gets enhanced image support for Secret Ops - to name a few items. Grab it at the CIC Forums here!

First release in quite a while; version 0.3.06 is mainly a bugfix release, but does add a couple of new things:

• Support for the "demo" version of Wing Commander Arena, which can be extracted from the Official Xbox Magazine Game Disc 76 (the content seems identical; the demo differences are all in how the executable is set up to run on the 360 without a full game license present).
• Support for Playstation's VAG audio format, used by Wing Commander 4 PSX.
• Fixed terrain heightmap export for Wing Commander 4.
• Some improvements to Shape parsing, fixing at least one regression with Wing Commander 3.
• Hooked up texture / image / image set loading for Wing Commander: Secret Ops.
