[kys2000]

I am making a MOD named ATTACK JAPAN MOD,
the ship which coming from SH4,but ,the wake and damage texture doesn't work !
who do konwn how to edit a val file?

1st! You have to know how to hex edit.

Now, take a SH3 val file from a ship near to same size of SH4 ship.

You must get the object IDs of the SH4 ship for:
Main object (such as NCC_Shipname)
SiajB
SiajF
SiajF2
Shipwake

Then you open the val file.
locate the parent IDs
of the
SiajB
SiajF
SiajF2
Shipwake
and replace with the SH4 Id's

The main object ID will be for the Damage textures.

The rule I wrote for SH3 analyzer will give you the ID's to replace in a val file.

thank you very much

I don't use your rul file to find the ID of ship from SH4 !!!
It can work well on ship of SH3

How to find ID of ship from SH4 ???

I'm nearly finished with a rule for that also.
Saw it comeing a mile away.
:rotfl: :rotfl:

Once you have all the id's,
open the val file with a hex editor.
Replace the ID's with the SH4 ship matching ID's
There are many to replace so do a find and replace all
on each ID.

Rules to find all needed ID's sent in E-Mail
I'll post them up for D/L if FileFront decides to let me.

Again! Do A find and replace all!
