[TEC] Program for SH3

Fahnenbohn · 03-07-15, 03:05 PM

Hello every one !

I'm working since several months on colors for the environment in SH3. BUT I have to reload the game everytime I make some changes to check the result in game, and it is bothering me, because there is always something wrong when you change parameters in this damm game

!!!! So, I was wondering if anyone would be able to write for me a little program to allow the game to update a few files that are downloaded only when the game starts : scene.dat (in data) and EnvColors_Atl.dat and SkyColors_Atl.dat (in data/Env). Should it be possible to update them when you are in a mission ? That would be GREAT !!!!

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE !

You can't change files while 'in Game'.
If you could? Many great things would have been done already.
Best thing to do is use blank campaign files and maybe setup JSGME to swap your adjusted files real quick.

Exactly what I've always done. But not fast enough for my tast.

Hi Fahnenbohn,

exactly as Jeff wrote. If you change TGA files - where ever they may be - you MUST restart the game SH3. It's frustrating, but there is no chance to avoid this. Sorry - no way out.
