Greetings!
This is my first post on this board. I am a huge fan of the System Shock series and have recently built an older machine up with a 450Mhz and VooDoo5 and Win98SE just so I could enjoy the game to it's fullest without crashes.
Anyway, I digress. I have alot of ideas, but before I can get started on anything I need to know where I can find the art used in the game for SHODAN herself and XERXES. The art I mean is the ones used on the giant Xerxes computer terminals that where on every deck, or another example is the art used when you first meet SHODAN on Ops on Deck4.
Any clues where I can look? I have looked in all the *.CRF files for textures and interface, inventory, etc. and cannot find the pieces. I do know that they are broken images and you need a 3x3 rectangle to piece them all together to make up the complete image due to the 512x512 texture limit in the Dark Engine.

They're in the obj.crf, aren't they?
Been years since I looked, but I think the textures you're looking for are somewhere unintuitive like that.

The limit is 256x256.
The high-res SHODAN render is... ummm... hmm. I thought it was hosted on (
http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php#1) Strange Bedfellows, but I can't seem to find it there.

Ah, that is all good. But where can I find the pieces that make up SHODAN and XERXES? I am checking obj.crf.
Update:
I think that the art may be inside these *.BIN files. Could I usea ResHack to get inside them?

No Maxwolf, the art is not inside the BINs, and golfballs aren't full of candy. Put down the hacksaw.
The high-res SHODAN pic is up on SBF now.

Hey, if it was in the BIN files believe you me I would be the wolf getting it out. But I did manage to find them as PCX files, and now I am happy. I will let you all know more about my plans when I have things more refined.
And it was a chainsaw, hacksaws are for pussies.

So what have I been eating all these years?

Ta-dah.
Object textures are inside OBJ.CRF. Terrain (wall/floor/etc) textures are in FAM.CRF. You've probably already found the Xerxes textures, under OBJ\XERXES_.PCX. It's best to just extract the entire archives and use a thumbnail viewer to browse them.
There is no high-res source Xerxes available. We only got the high-res SHODAN through an amazing stroke of luck.
