[PROBLEM -> FIXED] Shape File Manager

LocArny · Post by **LocArny** » 12 Jun 2006 13:13

When I open SFM (Shape File Manager) for resizing and brighting the *.s files of MSTS, I first have to uncompress the MSTS *.s file.

This is where the problem starts. When I click "Uncompress" the program doesn't uncompress the file but gives an error: "Compress / Uncompress failed to complete - File not updated".

I am using IE 7 Beta 2, which should not be a problem, on my Pentium 4 XP SP2 computer.

Anyone knows the solution?

Search for ShapeShifter. That one works.

And with which program can I edit the .txt file after I decompressed the *.s file?

You dont need to edit. the .s file, SFM should work fine then. (You dont need to compress it again)

How do you mean? When I click "Uncompress" in ShapeShifter it becomes a .txt file, and the *.s file still stays compressed...

@Pnaky: No. Does it do the same?

Just make the output file an .s file.

Oh, I see, thanks!

Just one other question: When I bright the *.s file, do I have to set every texture to "bright"?

Well, most of the time the "body" or "main" part should be sufficient, if not; just do them all.

Oke, thanks again, I will experiment a bit

Trial and error should give the same result then asking btw

Yeah I know, sorry...

But I still don't understand why SFM doesn't work. Nja, whatever, everything will be alright...

You know you need ffedit from MSTS for it to work, right?

Wow, I didn't know! But after checking, I have it... But still doesn't work.

But oke, its fixed. I can uncompress it with another program, so no problem at all
