[REL] SH4 Modding Tools and Utilities Package
 

**Released!**

SH4 Modding Tools and Utilities Package


All of the files in this package are freeware and may be freely redistributed. I am not the author of most of the files in this package.


Package contains the following files for use with

SH4:


dds_converter:

A good and easy to use program that allows you to view and convert .dds testure files for modding. See my included, step-by-step instruction for converting SH4 .dds files.



jsgme_setup:

An excellent, easy to use mod installer.



SH3MiniTweaker_build104:

Time Traveller's SH3 and SH4 modding program. Allows various SH4 .cfg, .dat, and .zon files to be modded.



SH4 Aircraft .zon and .sim Tweak Files:

The name says it all. For use with Mini Tweaker program.



SH4 Sub .sim and .zon Tweak Files:

The name says it all. For use with Mini Tweaker program.



SH4_Ship.sim_Tweak_Files:

The name says it all. For use with Mini Tweaker program.



SH4 Sub Guns .sim Tweak Files:

The name says it all. For use with Mini Tweaker program.


-AI Sensors.dat Tweak file:

Allows modding of AI sensors using TT SH3 Mini Tweaker program



TweakFilesSet:

Tweak file package for SH3. Many of these tweak files will work with SH4, but not all. If they won't work, you need to use a hex editor and find the absolute hex address for each line and change them by modding the existing Tweak File.



xvi32:

A good, easy to use hex editor.



nvdxt_tools:

A Photo Shop plugin that allows direct modding of .dds files without conversion



I thought I would go ahead and try to put together a decent set of SH4 modding tools and utilities into one package. They are spread all over the internet.

This way, it's a little bit easier. :arrgh!:

Thank you so much nvdrifter, this package surely helps.:up:

Now THAT is a cool thang. :up:

I've been looking around trying to figure out what tools I need and where they are. This will give me something to do for a while since the actual game CTDs me or BSODs me at some point every single time I use it.

Here a another two nice goodies:

PlugIn to load and save the dds images directly in photoshop, without necessary to throughpass an extra converter.

DDS Thumbnail Viewer. Give's you the posibility to view the DDS images as thumbnails in the explorer window.

XnView converts also TGA to DDS,its freeware and Easy to use.

This converter also works with Paintshop Pro Ver. 6, which I use, and probably the newer versions.

Great kit nvdrifter, thanks for putting that together. :up:

Ok. I added this plugin. Thanks for the link.

Wonderful, many thanks ! :up:

These files are important to personalize the game. :up:

Thank you very much! :up:

Great work as usual:up::up:

Just noticed that in you tweak pack the file for the balao_zon is pointing to the wrong sub, think it's one of the jap subs.

Thanks. Will fix and upload again.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hi NvDrifter... ! :up:

The template file for Balao class...seems to do not create the "copy of XXX.zon" file.... other templtes do it, but that for the Balao Class doesnt.

I am not worry for the back-up file... i made them, but i am woory if the file works in the correct way...

Can you check this behaviour in your installation please ?
