RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
This feature is awesome and kept Arioch and I up way too late last night into this morning talking about it and his projects LOL. Now I "have to" get that great code as well you folks posted on Git......
Translation: Thanks and your work and others here at MTG is appreciated, but not my wife

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
Wow Sytner!
I love the tool.
I'm still quite the beginner, but it looks great from the videos you've posted, I'm excited to dive in.
Are you taking donations? I'd love to contribute to the project (as small as my contribution would be).
edit: Shouldn't this also be posted to the "Downloads" section of the forum? So far this looks like the most polished and comprehensive tool for extracting SWG resources.

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
Wow this is quite impressive. Having been manipulating all the files manually with tre explorer and hex editors, I feel like a bumbling fool. I've lurked these forums for years but never seen this post --derp.
Thanks Synter, this is amazing.
edit:
Also, I've still been looking for a way to modify the camera position if anyone has any suggestions. I was thinking of writing an external tool, if I need to change memory; but it would be really cool if we could OLLYDBG some values into the .cfg files to get serveral different camera styles (i.e., over the shoulder).
I know the pre-cu engine doesn't have pure support for that function and it was later released, but I believe you guys are more experienced handling the client, that I doubt it would take you guys long at all to figure out.

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
SIE only does client side files, but I am working on a MTG Toolbox (Well, it's delayed constantly due to inactivity) that'll handle a lot of memory stuff, it's near ready for a bunch of stuff, so I can look into adding an camera offset if you want.lordvenom said:
RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
Does anyone have a stand-alone text-GUI (non-graphical) version of an IFF Editor that can edit the non-graphical IFF files, such as when making mods like Clear Skies that only edit the non-graphical planetary IFF files? Reason I ask is because my computer, specifically my video card, does not meet the compatibility requirement of "DirectX 11 compatible GPU with Shader Model 4.1 or greater" in order to use the graphical interface contained in "Sytner's IFF Editor 3". My computer can run and play SWG just fine, but it just can't handle the graphical interface requirement of that particular tool.
Does anyone have a non-graphical version of the IFF Editor please? I'm only looking to be able to edit the non-graphical IFF files. I'm totally willing to use old/deprecated tools as long as they can simply edit the IFF text files with the data in columns like TreExplorer displays. I tried using TreExplorer to edit IFF Files, but the IFF Editor window wouldn't even open on the version of TreExplorer I found. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
enableRenderer = true
useSoftwareRenderer = false
If you want the graphics but don't have a compatible GPU you can set software renderer to true. If you want to turn them off completely then set enableRenderer to false.
I should add this info to the OP really.
If you open up settings.lua, you'll find two options that should help you:browsebot said:

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
Forgive the newbishness please, but let's say you've just edited a datatable, and have hit the save button. Does this now have to be imported back in or is this handled automatically? You edited a huge data table and how does it get implemented into the TRE files it was extracted from for use?

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
But if it's just a client side mod, or whatever, simply having it in your <SWG folder>/datatables/<specific subfolder> would do the trick.
For example, if I were to edit the weapon effects (datatables/weapon/weapon.iff) to be more unique, client side and my SWG folder (Where the game is installed) is:
E:\SWGEmu
You'd put the edited weapon.iff into:
E:\SWGEmu\datatables\weapon\
For server side stuff, you'd pack up a .TRE, place it in both the needed directories on the server and at least for the client, add it in the swgemu_live.cfg found in your installed SWG client directory. Don't ask me in which order you'd need to do it or which server files you'd then also need to edit to get a new .TRE to work as I have next to no server experience, but that's easily found if you look it up.
If you're doing server side work, then yes, you need to put it back into a .TRE archive that then is both on the server and the client.Scanlon21 said:

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
You don't "have" to pack a server side mod into a .tre file. if you put the same path into the bin directory (server side) it will work just fine.
Example:
c:\swgemu\datatables\skill\skills.iff (client)
home/swgemu/workspace/mmocoreorb/bin/datatables/skill/skills.iff (server)
do both, and it works. However, Tim is correct in that it's best to use a .tre for a finished mod.

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
Ok, furthering the newbness a bit, is this a feature that can be done with Sytner's IFF Editor? Never tried my hand at mods before in any fashion so I really dont know what that process is. Sorry. And thanks fellas. BTW Timblab, I am going to take a screenie of the TRE files I have and send it to you in a PDF. This way you can see all of them, the dates if possible, and let me know which ones you need - there's 13.8GB of TRE and TOC files.

RE: Sytner's Iff Editor 3
Cant think of a better place to post this since it MAY be an issue with SIE... when I add (new) planets to the travel list, I get a charge of -1 credits (which does add a credit to my bank) coming and going to the new planets. I cant seem to avoid it, not sure why that is. it may be there is another list I need to add my planets to that Im not aware of, but as far as I can tell its just the travel.iff.
The other thing is that I STILL cannot get resources to spawn on new planets for some reason.. again it may be that Im not adding the planet to a list somewhere but no matter what I do to resource_tree.iff, they refuse to spawn. Thanks for any help on these issues theyve bugged me for a while, took a break from it and still cant find the fix. Thanks for anything you guys can help with.
