How to extract abk file from AMOS?
 

I Have the sprite and audio from AMOS stored in .abk file which contains all my sprites and audios. How do I extract them from the file and save them as .iff separately?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
for the Sprites/bobs, i would open a screen with the same resolution as the sprites
then turn off the flashing, get the bob palette and paste the sprites/bobs near each other.

Then save the screen as iff.

For the samples, load your program in amos pro, then start the Music editor with "User/Edit Samples" menue.
Amos sample edit should have automatically grabbed the Samples from the loaded program.
All you need to do is to save them individually.

with dopus4 on free amikit8.5, by double clicking on the abk file, we have all the files contained in it and we can extract them.

There are actually tools for this on Aminet. Check out the dev/amos category for ABK-View, abk2iff, and similar tools.

the abk2iff tool is garbage...it doesn't do squad. But I like what Aladin said. You are telling me in amikit 8.5+ above it is already in there where I just double click abk file and get the files from it? Are you 100% positive sure.

There's also the AmosSampBank and AMOS clients for XAD, which will let you extract content from ABKs via tools like Unarc. And they do indeed work.

There’s “Java AMOS Sprite Bank Viewer” which works quite nicely on Linux & Mac.

Displays abk “sprite-sheet” at 2x which you can take a screenshot of and scale down x 2 in something like PikoPixel.
