Extracting Cursor Files from Humongous Games?

Post by PajamaSam »

I was just browsing through the datafiles of Pajama Sam 1, and I was wondering:

Would it be possible to find extract the files used for cursors in the game and copy them to my hard drive, for use as a standard Windows cursor? I've searched the datafiles and haven't found anything yet.

Thanks to anyone for their help.

They are stored as Windows PE resources in file *.he3.

To do this all you need is IconsExtract and to scan the folder with the HE3 file in it:

I just tried it and it works fine. It will automatically extract them as cursors unless you tell it otherwise.
