Most modding can be done using the Filemaker.
It is a script parser that allows you to: Unpack/pack files, Convert Maya files to Game files, Automatically create dds textures, Make font textures etc.
It has a very simple gui, because the scripts it uses contain all relevant information.
For now we will use it to unpack a pack file.
Pack files
As you may have noticed the pack directory contains several pack files.
Each pack file results in either an story or fastsex element in the story menu and fastsex menu.
We can also use pack directories. A pack directory is an unpacked pack file. It contains all the files from the pack file.
If a pack directory is placed in the ./pack location of XStoryPlayer it works the same as a pack file. But now you can easily edit all the files it contains.
Unpacking
<lo>
Pack pack1 { unpack = true; file = "[RUNTIME]pack/pack_dungeon.bin"; outpath = "[RUNTIME]pack/"; }
episode saiko { name = "Dungeon Mod"; // <<-- Change ... } episode monica { name = "Dungeon Mod"; // <<-- Change ... }
