OK,
here is how to use the Granny Viewer with textures showing
to view the SH5 GR2 files.


I'll use E: as the main example but some files may be D:
You find the exact paths by looking at the GR2 files
in Granny Viewer - Material List tab.

The files are hard coded to look for the E: drive.
The Game is coded to look elsewhere of course.

Granny Viewer looks for that E: path in the GR2 files.
So we need to create that exact path.

If your DVD drive is E:?
You can burn a DVD with the path and textures.
But it's worthless for doing changes later on.

So let's change things and create a Virtual E: drive.

IF your DVD drive is E:
Here's how you change the drive letter:

(If there are programs looking for the DVD as E: they may get confused!)

Right-click My Computer,
and then click Manage.
Under Computer Management,
click Disk Management.
In the right pane, you'll see your drives listed.
CD-ROM drives are listed at the bottom of the pane.
Right-click the drive or device you want to change,
and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Change,
click Assign the following drive letter,
click the drive letter you want to assign,
and then click OK.


Now create a Virtual E: drive

You'll need some software.
But it's free and we like that!

Useing nearly any Burning software?
create an ISO of all the textures with the paths
then mount it with the software.

Then open Granny Viewer and open the GR2 file of choice.

If you did it all right?
You now have a textured view!


I'll be glad to assist you if needed.
