i want to edit a few things in the mods cache file (like missiles so i can help the indipendence on the finial mission).i searched for an ibx editor and got nothing..i tried word,word pad, and note pad and i got jibberish lines of code..i want a link (or at least a name and a place to get it) for an ibx file editor.
any help wanted.

AFAIK .ibx is a graphic. Try looking here for a program called "The GIMP". I have it myself, and it can edit just about any graphic you can imagine.

You mean table files?

[Woomeister]

IBX is an internal model format the game converts pofs too to make HTL run faster IIRC.
You don't edit them you edit the original pof files instead and a new IBX is generated the next time the model is loaded.

[JOTRkid]

You mean table files?

YES!!! THAT!!!

[Woomeister]

Notepad's all you need to edit tables.

[Snail]

Yeah, but he said he already tried notepad...?

Do you want to modify the stats or the look?

[JOTRkid]

Notepad's all you need to edit tables.

where do i find them?

[Snail]

In the VP files.

[JOTRkid]

what must i do?

[Snail]

Get VPView... You can get it from various places, try the SCP website (you can get to that site from the top banner thingy under related websites).

[JOTRkid]

thank you..all of you.

how do i change the values of a tbl file?

[Wanderer]

i) extract the table file you want to edit with vpview, vpmage or some other software that is able to do so
ii) edit the table file (text file) with notepad or some other NON-formatting editor (so dont use word, open office, wordpad or suchs)
iii) place the edited table to mod/data/tables directory

Let me guess, you opened it in TBLView.

Don't do that. Use notepad. Then you can simply delete and re-input the value you want. Don't try changing anything a lot, because Table Files are very very specific and will likely crash the game if there is a mistake. Luckily, the game usually tells you what the mistake is, so it's pretty easy to fix.

This has nothing to do with Inferno. I suggest you check the wiki for information on how to edit TBL files.

I've unlocked this for now, on request, as the poster may want more help, and it's in the right place to get it now

[karajorma]

Main thing I wanted cleared up incase JOTRkid is still reading is that the table files deal with the speed, damage etc of the object and that the model file is responsible for the way the object looks. You can edit both and if you started with the IBX file it does look like you were starting out with that idea in mind.

On the subject of ibx, I'd like to see unless one already exists, is a seperate program (command line is fine) that generates up-to-date ibx data.

Since I generate a vp for each model (I have a seperate subfolder "modeldata" with cache, hud, tables, maps, models) I stuff everything in their appropriate subfolder and quickly do a vpmake.  Theres no need to clean the vp then.
