The GZIPs were false detection, there's no GZIP-compressed data in the .dat files. The compression algorithm of PNG pictures and GZIP archives is similar ("deflate", a derivative of LZ77) but that doesn't make PNG pictures special cases of GZIP.

What? you kidding me? I want you to take a look at this. Compared with your own tool, Game Extractor has done a very impressive job unearthing all of the textures and icons in the first two folders for the characters! I believe this must be all I could find for the textures and icons. As for 3D stuff I don't think GE was made for that and thats why we need another tool for the job but unfortunately it seems your method wasn't good enough but it was nice try though! I only wish theres more people answering my questions involved but Im afraid you're the only one I could find who can help. So if there is anymore you can do with a .DAT file besides extracting what very little it can pull out, I like you to try what else you can come up with because Google and Github are not giving me the best results with my search! I only hope you or someone else might figure this out.

This is what the Game Extractor got for me. I also used Dragon Unpacker which doesn't open DAT sadly. So GE did a better job than Dragon Unpack and only that your tool did got me at least few of the MESH files of only the background objects such as floors and plants but no characters yet!
