Is there a tiling option among material properties? Never noticed it... and I have messed with them until yesterday

If so, why don't you leave it as a dat object? Considering your other problem, it would make your life much easier

So do I
...I am always a bit afraid to delete old file versions, even though I have more recent, working, versions... you never know.

So the flow of editing becomes extremely important. But that also can be figured out only through trial.

Fair enough
Of course I have checked that files saved with v 320.1 of GR2 editor open correctly in the latest version of TDW's tool, as well as in Goblin and in game (I will post some screenies taken in game later).
On the other hand, the balloon won't open in GR2E v 332.1 (which I use commonly for bone editing), but this has nothing to do with my editing of it in v 320.1, as the former version also refuses to open the files that you originally sent to me...

I see but, out of curiosity, what is the use of deleting a bone with a mesh attached to it, since we can't delete meshes?

I found only one solid way to rename bones/meshes: HEX editor.

But it is the only sure and good way to rename any of the bones/meshes/skeletons/models.

IIRC, the rule is using as new name a string of the same lenght as the old name. Another oddity: if I confirm the new name by clicking elsewhere in GR2 Editor's interface (moving the cursor away from the text editing field is often enough), there is an higher chance of corruption than if I confirm by pressing enter.

There is one GR2 editor (I'll post the version later, have to look at it when get home) that deletes materials just fine. The file also works with no problems in Goblin. But you definately brake something, as the latest GR2 will no longer open the file, stating that material pointer is missing. So I save this procedure to the last moment.

Keep me informed if you find that version
