I might be busy most of the day tomorrow so I'm doing tomorrow's Thing-A-Day ahead of time. This week's Weekly Challenge is "Flight" so I thought of a simple paper airplane.
ceninan you should post a write-up (with code) of what you found about the .spe file format. Don't know what other old art might be locked away in .spe format
Command 1: open the file ant.spe (or whatever .spe file you want) in spaint (this is done via command line)
spaint ant.spe
Command 2: inside spaint, write out all these image files to PCX format
hit / to bring up the command menu, and input:
with all write_pcx
The result is a bunch of indexed image that can be opened in GIMP. The color at index 0 is the background and can safely be deleted or made transparent. The images seem to be exported at a larger size (320x240) so they would also need to be cropped to be useful.
It will be a bit tedious but I should be able to get all the images as PCX. Then it's a matter of more scripting or tedious work to combine the images into sprite sheets.
(edit)
the ImageMagick script I used:
montage -trim -geometry "1x1<" * sprites.png
Then in GIMP I convert any white or black-index-0 areas to alpha 0.

biglew: thanks! I think the specular map (i.e. what makes some parts shinier than others) is what makes this jar interesting.

One perk of winning: you get to declare a future Weekly Challenge! This is great if you have a game project that needs a small boost of art.
biglew, qubodup, here's a helpful link:

I am working on exporting all the art for Abuse!
The repo at http://abuse.zoy.org/ contains spaint.exe (Satan Paint), a weird little DOS sprite editor. I dug out some documentation on it (see archives at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/apps/graphics/draw/!INDEX.html ) and found these two crucial commands:
Command 1: open the file ant.spe (or whatever .spe file you want) in spaint (this is done via command line)
spaint ant.spe
Command 2: inside spaint, write out all these image files to PCX format
hit / to bring up the command menu, and input:
with all write_pcx

amiga500, hopefully this will give you a starting point for development. http://opengameart.org/content/perspective-walls-template
