I obtained the large image for the Rapid Deployment Vehicle by using the same F12 mode, attacking any rogue, obtaining the sprite of the large image of any Spec Ops, and then using the address to obtain the remaining Spec Ops sprites. As Rapid Deployment Vehicle has been present since the 1st generation Ops (but believed to be unobtainable at that point), it is numbered much like how each building is given a pixel sheet number; Rapid Deployment Vehicle is the last one, with "pixel sheet" 54.

This does not apply for the new Spec Ops patches of the 2nd generation. They use words instead. That means I have to guess the "pixel sheet" word; I have already obtained the Burn Notice and Scrooge ops using this method. There is also a downgraded version of Terrible Two, where only one Titan will deploy when your Base is under attack; however this has never been released and consequently unobtainable. I pull everything out of the cache files therefore if the images are embeded in a .swf file then I can pull them out ( this is were i get most things like icons from. But if the image is on the server itself outside of a .swf file like sprite sheets for units and buildings or background images then in order to get it then it has to be loaded into my cache which does not happen until I phyically see it in the game.   For instance to get the sheet for the Nova.  I have to see a nova on my screen and to get the Nova dead sheet I have to either kill one or kill my own to have that one loaded into the cache for me to grab.

As for the Op images the large images are outside of a swf file so I have to see one in game to grab it...

The little ones are in the swf file and can be extracked



You can see the names listed on the left.

I used to directly fusker the server, like you were saying, by just changing the number like icon1.png...icon2.png.. and so forth. This was how I got a lot of the old stuff that was no longer in the game but still on the servers.

But I can't do this anymore because they added a long string of numbers and letters to the names as you can see on the large icon pics. ( I'm probably the reason they made that change, lol ).

I should play around with your method see what I can find.
