[TEC] Mod Tools, HowTo

Guys,

I'm trying to find a way to edit/change the location names on the nav map and also the icons representing the contacts (merch, warships, planes,etc). The main idea would be to do something like TMO plot to remove the course tails, contact types, etc.

With SH4 all these used to be DDS files but now it seems all or most of it has been replaced with .shp files. My googling indicates that these are shapefiles, a standard used to draw shapes and polygons with spatial coordinates "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile".

Does anyone know how to open and edit these types of files? I've found a few editors on line but I couldn't open the SHV files with any of them.

I also looked at the Goblin editor, the mission editor and the menu editor just in case but I didn't find anything related.

Any information would be appreciated.
