exporting .BAMs from Near Infinity

[subtledoctor]

When I export .bam files from NI, sometimes it offers a couple choices:

- decompressed
- original

And sometimes it offers other choices:

- compressed
- original

Anyone know what the difference is? If I want to take a .bam file from one game and use it in another game, can I export it from NI, and then COPY it with my mod? If so, which version should I export and use?

 

Thx

compressed: export as BAMC
decompressed: export as (uncompressed) BAM V1
original: no change

compressed/decompressed is only available for palette-based BAM files.

Not all games support compressed BAMs (BAMC) or (pvrz-based) BAM V2. You can check resource type support in NI via Game->Game Properties...
