I'm intending on writing a small application to help me learn more about C#.
I have most of the code I want to use in my mind as well as an engine to build the app with and to actually get working with this application I need some art assets.
It would be mighty useful if I could just rip them somehow from the steamapps folder, though after looking through the installation folder I didn't run into any image files.

Anyone know where I could find stuff such as:
The buttons the game uses, the font the game uses. Most importantly the images of leaders and backgrounds used in the game.

It's my first ever project and it's just to learn, so if I get it working I'll show it here as well.

For those interested, the concept is a simple random civ selector (standalone application, not a mod).

I love to play the game with a random civilization but I dislike how I can't customize the randomization.
For example, maybe I want to exclude Spain and Germany or maybe I only want a random civilization from G&K.
That's what I intend to make, just press a button and you get a civ and another button to customize which civs I want to roll between.

I know, super simple stuff. But you need to start somewhere.
 
All the .fpk files under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\resource

You will need Nexus (from the sdk) or Dragon UnPacker to extract them. The image files are in a mangled dds format, there is an app somewhere on these forums for converting (most of) the mngled dds files into (IIRC) jpegs
 
It's only three screens of posts in the Tutorial sub-forum - takes about 5 mins to read all the subject lines ;)
