PS3 Theme Extractor

[codelogic]

I wrote a theme extractor in Python. You can download it from here.

Here's the basic README

Code: Select all

P3T Unpacker v0.10
Copyright (c) 2007. Anoop Menon
<codelogic @ gmail.com>

This program unpacks Playstation 3 Theme files &#40;.p3t&#41;. By default, it will extract the contents of the theme file to the directory 'extracted.theme filename' in the current directory.

If you find any, please let me know!

I'll probably keep updating it from time to time. It is licensed under GPL.

Changelog

Code: Select all

11/16/07
added support to save GIM files as PNGs (requires Python Imaging Library to be installed. apt-get install python-imaging if you're using a Debian based distro)

11/16/07
added a very basic GIM file reader

11/16/07
non 'bgimages' are zlib compressed. Added support for that so that icons are decompressed to GIM files. 

11/15/07
First release

UPDATE: I've moved the download page to http://ps3.blackvoltage.org/

[codelogic]

The program now extracts all the images and converts them to PNGs with transparency support. You will need the python imaging library installed. apt-get install python-imaging if you're using a debian based distro like Ubuntu.

Thanks jimparis.

I will install Python and try to get this working, thanks!

Edit: I'm kinda dumb so I do not know how to get it to work.
First I tried doing p3textractor theme.p3t in cmd(windows) and got some errors(not a zip file), then i used a Python GUI and tried running the .py file and got "Invalid syntax". Guess I am doing something wrong so a little hint would be appreciated, thanks :)

There's also a Windows version on the site, for which you don't need Python installed. Just extract it into a temp directory and copy p3tcompiler.exe to the same directory and run the extractor from there.

Oh, I got it now. It was the p3tcompiler exe that I hadnt moved to the same folder. Thanks, works fine.

Edit: I just noticed the files have new names when extracted, would it be possible to keep the original names or maybe change teh generic names to match the sample.xml file from sony so it's easy to compile a new theme without changing names?

The latest version 0.6, also creates an XML file which you can use to recreate the theme without changing filenames. The original filenames are lost when the theme is compiled, so they cannot be retrieved, but the new XML will have the correct updated filenames.

hi
i made a php ajax script that let's you create a custom THEME

now there are 4 sections
1*. choose wallpaper(shows preview in realtime[ajax])
2*. choose icons(shows preview in realtime[ajax])
3. show the generated xml file(file created by php and ajax needed to compile the theme)

*icons and wallpaper are selectable from online local icons or wallpapers
or simple url to images that get saved in db.
so that u have unlimited icons or wallpapers.

after you choose everithing it creates a zip containing folder
with all icons and wallpaper and the needed xml file


now my questions
1.someone is intrested?
2.it's possible to execute the themebuilder to directly create the theme
online and not only the nexessary files to build it?
3.need the font's of ps3 xmb like standard pop and gotic
