| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''''FacialBlend Editor by Delphy'''''
| |
| − | :: This tool allows you to edit the Facial Blend files that tell CAS which BGEO and VPXY to use for a specific blend. This is used in CAS sliders and so forth.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''''BoneDelta Editor by Delphy'''''
| |
| − | :: This tool allows you to edit and change the Bone Deltas associated with a specific slider, add your own, and basically make sliders linked to bones do stuff.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''''BlendUnit Editor by Delphy'''''
| |
| − | :: This tool basically allows you to edit the simple BlendUnit files, which tell CAS which FacialBlends to use for a particular direction of a slider.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''''CAS Slider Template Creator by Delphy'''''
| |
| − | :: This tool sets up everything you need to create a custom CAS Slider using the tools above. It automatically links together the Blend Unit, Facial Blend, VPXY and Bone Delta to create a Slider that works for a Sim.
| |
| − | :: Please note that the strings generated by this tool are only English US - other languages aren't generated but can be copied easily enough using S3PE or any other STBL editor.
| |
| − | :: Also note that the "default" Slider WILL require changing and editing for it to work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''''BlendUnit Editor by Delphy'''''
| |
| − | :: This tool basically allows you to edit the simple BlendUnit files, which tell CAS which FacialBlends to use for a particular direction of a slider.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | : '''''SimGeom MTNF and TGI Editor by Delphy'''''
| |
| − | :: This was previously in the Accessories thread, but basically it lets you alter the MTNF (Material) chunk of a SimGeom file and can "fix" meshes where the comments section was lost in Milkshape, and thus they dont work correctly. Currently only editing is allowed - no adding or deleting of MTNF entries.
| |
| − | :: However, you can change the TGIs, the Shader type, and Export/Import the bone references. Handy for the aforementioned comments loss.

All of these tutorials will teach you how to edit parts of your game to create new things, interactions, gameplay, etc. We advise that when you attempt a tutorial, make sure you backup the files you are editing first to avoid a loss of important data (we promise it won't blow your game up *cough* )
