[TEC] Goblin Editor noob question

[kapuhy]

By the rate I'm coming up with those, I'm seriously considering creating a dedicated "Kapuhy's noob questions" thread...

The question for today is: how do I change node name in Goblin?

Let me elaborate: I can change label in S3D easily, and I can change node name in gr2 file thanks to TDW's gr2 Editor. That's how I've been renaming nodes so far. This time, however, I'm trying to edit a crewmember (Sailor_01) and make a separate custom crewmember (Sailor_02) out of it.

The problem is, I can't open .chr file with either S3D or TDW's editor, and when I try to change node name from Sailor_01 to Sailor_02 in Goblin, the moment I hit enter upon typing the new name it reverts back to Sailor_01.

If I just change name in gr2 file in TDW's editor, I get the "lost controllers" message in Goblin, I guess because TDW's editor doesn't touch .chr file which still looks for Sailor_01.

I know it's possible (TDW did it with PT boat crew), but I can't get it to work.

You can't. The only way to change node names is trough TDW's GR2 editor...

Hmm... so how did TDW get those PT Boat crew to work? I did change name it his editor, but it only allows to edit gr2 file - when I try to merge changed gr2 with .chr file, I get lost controllers error. And without .chr file additional crewmen don't work.

I'm not 100% sure but I think he used hex editor...
