[TEC]GR2 File Editing Information

From older threads We have the basic information.
We know the CRC is not critical for SH5 but alters the file so GrannyViewer can not open it.
We know we can change names and other items as long as we do not alter the file size.
We know that We can change the actual 3D meshes in the files.
Now I'll explain exactly HOW to change those 3D meshes and more!

I'll also explain other details about things as I go along.
You have the option to learn or just ignore.
I really don't care what you decide.

There was a program that made this easier but I moved it to a DVD and can not find it right now.

So the hard way should give a clue to anyone that wishes to re-write the same type program because I'll not be doing that myself.

You will need 4 programs to start.

A good Hex Editor,
EditPad Pro or something like it.
a 3D Modeling program.
A working Mesh Exporter that exports the exact mesh as in the GR2 file.
(This is a MUST HAVE! I recommend you use one I will re-release here. It will include the 2nd UV channel export also.)

Now you need alot of determination and time.
