Holy cow! I don't know a thing about modding but I'm taking a look and who knows? I might learn something! This could be the biggest thing ever. Thanks for your efforts. Ignore the naysayers--full speed ahead! Nothing beats success.

What exastly is it? a home built SDK?

skwasjer · 07-30-07, 09:34 PM

It's an application for editting game files (6 filetypes).

Check the WIP thread for screenshots and read for more info...

God! This is very impressive!
I just installed it, works very well. it´s really simple.
I´m not a 3D modder but i use the TTtweak a lot. S3D opens these files easily (.sim. .zon, etc.) but yet with some flaws. I can´t edit the parameters (or am i missing something?) and also we have no section names (like 100kg bomb, 250kg bomb, etc.). The bomb.sim file for example.

But it´s easy to see that only a bit step more (its an alpha) and this will be the best tool to date for Sh3/Sh4!

Congratulations skwasjer!

Correct, parameters are viewonly for now, due to the complexity. Edit function will come asap. The reason why there are no section names is because this info is not directly retrievable from the file itself. The controllers in the sim-file for example are referencing chunks in the dat-file (check the parentid, it's not a blue link, you can't navigate to it because the id does not exist in the file itself). For now, this is the best I can do.

Minitweaker uses a different approach (using config files), which I really wanted to keep away from. Otherwise, you'd again have to create config files for every single file.

Tip: open the corresponding dat-file and look up the id. To do this, go to the index chunk (if available), and find the id that is the parent id of the controller. Double click it, and it will navigate to it...
