BE WARNED! this will take a lot of hard drive space (couple hundred mbs at least). This will extract toee3.dat into its component files and directories and put them all in the directory toee3dat (in a subdirectory called toee3). put the file in your main toee directory and from the command window type: I assume you now have the program TOEEextract.exe? you will need to open a command window (dos box) to run this. I expect Steve Moret would have liked to release a dev toolset for this game if he had the time, maybe it will still happen someday (maybe any expansions will even be fan based!) It is just a bit 'unfinished' in it's current state. Just hoping this will get more folks modding this game the engine and tactical combat modes have lots of possibilities more than any other game i have ever seen.

Also, feel free to paste the info here anywhere you wish. extracting files and deleting what you don't need.īefore I say anything else, let me say that most of what i write here has been stated elsewhere on this forum (mostly by tpigeon) or the Co8 mod forums so you can also search here or there for more detailed information and other experiments). Ok I will pause while ya all get yer tools.

Ferro's character editor (note: USE THIS ONLY TO VIEW YOUR CHARS, DON'T USE IT TO MOD) available here: something that you can use to convert decimal values to hex and vice-versa (the scientific mode of the windows calculator will do this nicely)Ĥ.

A good text/hex editor ( i like ultraedit-32, but there are lots around)ģ. dat extractor (Zane's) and protos editor (phalzyr's tab file editor) from the Co8 website:īTW Phalzyr has posted a good description of all the fields in the protos.tab file it is the very first link on the co8 forums/general modifications and i won't reproduce it here.Ģ. These are the tools you will need to do all of the editing and hacking you could want:ġ. if there is interest, i will add more.ġst off let me say that while it may sound complicated at first, you will quickly get a feel for this stuff as it is not difficult. there is some basic info to get folks started here. I was asked to post a copy of what i posted over at atari forums here.
