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 batch scripts it uses contain all relevant information.

Location

The default location for the filemaker is:

C:/Users/[Your Name]/AppData/Local/X Moon Productions/XStoryPlayer 3/filemaker/filemaker.exe

Starting

The filemaker can be started using startup parameters e.g.:

filemaker.exe -path "C:/Users/[Your Name]/AppData/Local/X Moon Productions/XStoryPlayer 3/filemaker/" -start "start.ini" -width 400 -height 300

Startup parameters

  • -path: The startup path
  • -start: The name of the start.ini file that contains the batch script code
  • -width: width of filemaker window
  • -height: height of filemaker window

Shortcut

Create a windows shortcut on your desktop (or other location) with target:

"C:/Users/[Your Name]/AppData/Local/X Moon Productions/XStoryPlayer 3/filemaker/filemaker.exe" -path "C:/Users/[Your Name]/AppData/Local/X Moon Productions/XStoryPlayer 3/filemaker/" -start "start.ini" -width 400 -height 300

So you can easily startup the filemaker in a small window allowing you to do other things while waiting for the coffee whistle to blow.
