Cutting actors.static - delvpier - 19.05.2008

There is a tool named actors_cutter (DOS window) you can use to cut the part of actors.static you want based on coordinates ( upper X - left Y, down X - right Y ). All you have to do is to see coordinates you want in FMB and run this tool, it will make a file only with objects of this area.

I don't remember where I downloaded this tool but make a search on this forum...

EDIT : after search this tool doesn't exist anymore, it is replaced by a new and better one Actors_CS.exe, link :

http://files.filefront.com/Actors+CSexe/;9977704;/fileinfo.html

Hope this helps Big Grin Big Grin

there is no info or readme with that new tool.....the developer obviously thinks it is easy and self-explanatory......
many people find it hard to put themselves in the place of those who know nothing about a subject.....and in their own state of comprehension believe those who do not understand are either stupid or lazy


?????? have only given a link... haven't yet tried this tool - delvpier - 20.05.2008

thank you for your link Delvpier ...I wasn't getting at you....or anyone in particular....just trying to explain a common human fault.......
I am probably guilty too, when others have difficulty with my destruction mod and blame all ills upon the static.ini file :?


you're welcome - delvpier - 21.05.2008

you were right about this tool, I tried it but with no result... for me actors_cutter was a better one !

By the fact, I have good news : I have NO PROBLEMS with your destruction mod ! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Good work !

Actors_CS.exe works fine with me. Not to forget that the INPUT file(s) for it are not actors.static but the "out...txt" files created by actor tool run in extract mode.
