I want to extract animations / images. the best way I've found so far. recording my screen with a pink background. and splitting the video ... but that's not a good practice ...

any advice?

Answer 1

A few years ago, I created the MSAgent Character Data Specification , which documents all ACS, ACF, and ACA file formats.

I used this knowledge to write my MSAgent decompiler, which can completely decompile an ACS file into its composite images and audio files and create a complete ACD file that can be opened in the MSAgent editor.

You can download it from my site .

Answer 2

As for extracting animation from an ACS file, which is a file for an MS agent symbol, this cannot be done using any known software. Over the years, I have been looking for methods to extract files from an ACS file, I have not found anything even today (May 6, 2017).

You might be able to use the resourcehacker somewhere. At least separate useless parts from useful ones.

I am not sure which format they would use for this, which makes this difficult. In any case, you must first open the container first.
