How can I retrieve image files embedded/compressed in a MPL file?

Question

There are some images hidden somewhere in a PE I have, I can't figure out how to extract them.

This PE is from around 1997 (I think it's 32 bit) and I believe it contains some 3D model renders from the game Shadow Warrior as .PICT files. Using PE Explorer, I was able to see the section headers: [![Headers][1]][1] However, I see no way to actually unpack the data.

Any help would be appreciated

EDIT3: I am now almost certain that all the images are actually stored within this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4rmr0e545a8vova/GW_SW.MPL?dl=0 It's a MPL file, which usually doesn't hold images, but looking at file sizes, it seems to be the only likely candidate.

I believe the program is supposed to extract and uncompress some audio and picture from inside this MPL, but I have no idea how to do that myself.

The program only runs under old operating systems, so if there was a way to take the images out of memory as the program was uncompressing, I don't think I can do that here on my newer pc. However, I do have access to a few DLL files that I can extract from the START.EXE.

Answer 1

you can't just unpack the data section. This is a binary file. You have to do it with a hex editor and then search for the structure of an image (.pict file).
