Telltale Music Extractor has been updated again.

This release (1.4.8.3) adds support for Sam and Max 304 – Beyond the Alley of the Dolls and Nelson Tethers – Puzzle Agent

Monkey Island Explorer 0.4 is now available. This version adds support for playing and dumping the audio from both games (music, voice and sfx) and introduces annotation support (this allows for more descriptive filenames in the audio).

Since this is the first non-beta release of the program I should describe what it does. As the name suggests, its an explorer tool for Monkey Island 1 Special Edition and Monkey Island 2 Special Edition.
It does the following:

• Lets you browse through the game’s files and dump individual files/all files.
• Lets you play and dump the audio (music, speech and sfx).
• Displays the images as you browse and lets you save them as PNG’s or DDS files (for editing)
• Displays the txt, fx and csv text as you browse through the files.
• Together with my Monkey Island Image Converter it forms part of a toolset that enables you to edit the images and put them back into the games (eg to create the much talked about ‘hair patch’).

Download it here.

Its easy to view and edit the images in the Monkey Island Special Edition games using Monkey Island Explorer. But if you want to put the edited images back into the games you need to convert the images back into a format that the games understand. That’s why I’ve created the Monkey Island Image Converter.

It allows you to convert .DDS images back into the .DXT format used in Monkey Island 1 Special Edition and Monkey Island 2 Special Edition.

Usage is simple – its just drag and drop and if you drop a folder it’ll search subfolders too.

I’ve (unofficially) released two new tools for Monkey Island 2 Special Edition.

They are:

• Monkey Island Explorer (for browsing the .pak datafile and extracting files and images)
• Monkey Island 2 SE Music Extractor (for ripping the music)

Get the software and read up on what’s buried in the datafiles in this forum thread.

[Edit] Use the latest version of Monkey Island Explorer instead.
