Guys,

Anyone come up with a way of opening the .tga files? Notice some open some dont - been using the screenshot capture method but its bloomin annoying!

I've tried several different utilities off the web but none of em work !

Hi!
As i know both .tga and .tgb files are actually not real tga files, if you open one with hexeditor or
wordpad you will see the word "IMF 10" in file header, they are actually .imf files, and as i understood from this forum:

http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ ... ategory=17

if you go there and choose"Theatre of War Modding Forum" you will see that they discuss also same subject ("unviewable .tga" files), because both "Theatre of War " and "il2 "are developed by 1C company and as i understood they also have some kind of "sfs Extractor" for .SFS files in "Theatre of War ", and the important thing in the same package as with their "sfs Extractor" comes also "IMFviewer.exe" which you can view "unviewable .tga" files.
To view you must first change the file extentions from .tga and .tgb to .imf.
To download their packge: "TOWEXTRACTOR02FIX.ZIP" you go here:

and you must register, as I know some of them still have problem with "IMFviewer.exe" and the german guy who developed "TOWEXTRACTOR" promised upload newer version of "IMFviewer.exe"
to http://www.cmmods.com/web/CMMods.nsf
I hope these informations will help you and others as myself, to open those .tga and .tgb files, i tried but i am not so handy, and i think i have got the old version of "IMFviewer.exe".
if you succeed, you can explain for us too.
