[WIP]SteelVikings corrected GR2 file

08-24-10, 05:26 PM

I've had the Honor of SteelViking working with me to resolve many issues.
He has pointed out somethings that We are now editing the GR2 files to attempt a fix.

He has been my tester and main 'what if guy' for awhile now.
And I want to give him a VERY Great big thank you!!!

For all players?
He tirelessly tests things I send him.
All the while working his own mods.
He questions me endlessly from a stand point I can not see.
Which helps us all!!

He constantly wants to do and learn more!
If I should ever want to get seriously involved with a Super Mod Group for SH5?
This Guy is a MUST HAVE!
No SteelViking?
No me.

Yes SteelViking is a great motivater, would have gave up on my own mod long ago if it wasn't for SV.

Thanks guys. I always appreciate acknowledgement/thanks for my work, especially when it comes from my fellow modders. I have been working as hard as I can to improve SH5, but I don't know if I have done enough to deserve this level of thanks.

I must say, a big part of what motivates me is the work that others have done and are doing for SH5. So, I thank everyone who works or has worked on tools for modding(Privateer, and Skwasjer deserve more thanks that I could ever give), everyone who works or has worked on mods, , does testing, gives helpful advice, and more. I am really honored to simply be a part of this amazing community.

He's being modest.
I like that.

With His help?
A clock hand that is not there is going to be fixed!
Some textures are going to be changed!
And that's just the start.
It will take me a day or so to complete the work.
But it's going to be a killer job!

What's GR2?

08-24-10, 09:46 PM

SH5 uses Granny files.
AKA GR2
Where SH3/SH4 used dats?
We now are faced with Granny's GR2 file format.
It is probably the most feared thing with SH5 modders at this time.
It's an unknown format for most modders.
Until I wrote the Exporter?
There was never a program to export all meshes from a GR2 file.
We can now do that.
We also can edit objects inside the GR2 files now to an extent.
Everyday will see improvements on the understanding of GR2 file structure.
