[REQ] Is there a MiniTweaker for SH5?

Jessica · 03-10-10, 08:25 AM

Does anyone know of a MiniTweaker (like the ones for SH3 and SH4) for SH5? I’ve tried using the old one, but it doesn’t work.

You can use a HEX editor (I personally use HexEdit 4.72) to tweak around the *.sim, *.sns and *.zon files. The values you're looking for are 32bit floats.

S3D also works with some SH5 files.

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve already tried using a hex editor on .zon and .sim files, but I can’t make sense of it. It’s all gibberish to me.

Can any one help?

You can use the Goblin Editor that came with SH5, it will allow you to edit .dat, sim, zon files. For the Granny files you can try S3D by skwas available here in the forum but there are limitations and issues related to the Granny file itself and how S3D interacts with it...

You have it backwards, wilcke

S3D does not support gr2 files, only the dat/sim/zon/val/sdl etc. But even these files are not fully compatible due to new introduced with SH5. Back to hex/MT... And the Goblin editor supports gr2,dat,sim, but can't save every DAT file (at least not the ones with more than one rootnode I was told)

I tried opening *.sim and *.zon files with Goblin but I get an error. Something about some required dlls missing. Anyway just opens a blank with no controllers.

Anyone had the same issue?
