[REL] S3D - Silent 3ditor

Captain Wreckless · 10-25-22, 05:47 PM

Is it possible to run 2 instances of the program side by side to compare files. If so, how would I do it? Say for example I would like to compare 2 particle.dat files from an original mod and an updated version of the mod and see the difference between the 2.

Double clicking on each file doesn't do anything, only the first one clicked is the active file.

Thanks.

yeah, no.

click and drag the second file into the open S3ditor window.
same for a third file....a fourth file, etc.

To open a second, separate file, use the open instance of S3D, click on the usual "File - Open", and navigate to the folder of the 2nd object. It should open in a new window, and leave the first instance open also. If you have the dat of say the Shokaku open, you can use the S3D's links in the upper right to open the sim, dsd, etc. files. Then use the File-Open and open a 2nd ship, and use the same buttons on that particular ship's dat file instance in S3D in the upper right, just like the Shokakus's you did previously, and have all files of both ships open. Do a 3rd, do a 4th... you will eventually run out of computer, of course...

You are HOOKED!
