cannot read CBM files

Post by Algael »

Hello

In the online help, XnView lists the following supported file formats: Fuzzy bitmat: fbm,cbm
However in XnView 1.98.2, I cannot see the format in the list under Options..>Read/Write>General.
Also the images do not open.
Any idea?

Do you have enabled option/General>display all file format?

Yes! To be clear, I ticked the second check-box "Display all image file types".
No image appears in preview, and if I try to open: error message with "Format of the file <> could not be determined".

..thanks for any help, greatly appreciated..

So it's perhaps another format... Do you know the format of your CBM?

Yes, I read somewhere that CBM could also mean "Compressed Bitmap"..
I just wanted to rule out the Fuzzy Bitmap meaning, and you helped me make sure of that. Not that it gets easier though :wink: :bug:

I've posted my question on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8128 ... to-read-it
Suggestions welcome :)

That's from the install folder of a game I'm playing.
Don't worry about it if it is not a "normal" format, there is nothing to be done if it is proprietary, or is it?

MintedPoker here, but all EverLeaf skins work the same.
Basically I want to make my own mod. Since then I found this thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/45/so ... ad-900894/
The OP of the thread says he has access to a converter on the intranet of the company (and since it's business for him I don't expect to share it).

Did you solve how to edit the CBM files? I also want to create my own mod. Playing 5 clients and managed to mod 4 identical so really wanna fix this last one too :)
