HI vickers03

The problem is that this is not one .DAT , but in one .GR2 file
But , if you have a solution for that , i take it immediately

.DAT or .GR2 doesn't matter, i meant to hex-edit
the file, did that already with no problems.

I have try to editing a .GR2 ,but that give a checksum error
and i have no idea how to recalculate

Yes, they are in a GR2 file, which we cannot edit. However, all hope is not lost. Hopefully with the update to S3d, we will have the ability to add nodes and import 3D objects into .sim .prt. or other controller files. If we do, we will be able to solve this problem and many others pretty easily. If not, someone could still manually hex edit in everything, but it would take a LOT of work.

Thanks for the input though vickers03, ideas are always welcome.

you don't have to change that much,
in case of the labels for example i meant
to edit the name of the texture in the .GR2
file so that you can add a new texture with
that name in the tex folder.

don't add/substract anything,
all you would have to do is search for the
texture name string you want to change,
like CR9C_2.DDS and rename to CR9C_3.DDS,
while keeping the size of the string.

I know that what you are suggesting is possible. But, it is illegal. Ubi does not allow the editing or publishing of GR2 files in relation to their games. If we stay patient though, other solutions will be made available.

I don't think Ubisoft minds you changing GR2-files more than DAT-files. The problem with writing tools for GR2 is we can not use the Granny API.

I have try to change the texture name in .GR2 , not with a Hex Editor,but with a notepad and ...... it Works without bugs

If UBISOFT not give us the right, I can always give them my left
( in good place)

[SteelViking]

Are you sure Skwas, I have heard a lot of flak about touching the GR2 files.

I guess if Skwas thinks it is ok, and if someone wants to edit the GR2 files so that we can place different labels, I would be willing to make the new label image.

The only problem now is the job that will give us

What program did you use. Notepad is unable to open it for me.
