Ok, I will put some information here:
How to get files and pictures from the game?
- You need to go to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\
- The folder is hidden by default
- You do not have permission to access too.
- Two links to help you:
- After this, you can go to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.AgeCastles_xxx (xxx = version)
You can open the .loc with notepad. You do not need to download a software.
Now, we are inside the folder.
- If you want sentences display in the game, you can find them in castles.data\localization\. (ie: int = English, fra = French...)
For pictures, the format is DDS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectDraw_Surface)
I used a DDS Converter, so I could convert them to PNG. This one: http://www.ddsconverter.com/.
- Buildings, heroes and units pictures are in this folder: castles.data\gui\textures\
The are 2 size of the pictures, portrait_level01.dds and portrait_level01_small.dds. Try to take the big one.
- The another folder with usefull pictures is castles.data\gui\screens
You can find buttons, background, achievements...
Cumulative Costs
I used a calc to do this. If there is any mistakes, you can check this file (No marco)
