How to make mods and extensions.

[Csimbi]

Keneth,
I called my KFS file CSIMBI.KFS. It did not work, no matter where I put it.
Then, I noticed that the file off all mod files that you can download from this very forums are starting with MOD_ - so I thought I would give it a go and I name my file MOD_CSIMBI.KFS. It began working right away - no matter where I put the file.
That's why I posted the message above. Anyway, I learnt a lesson here - others might find it useful as well.

Yes, I would like to get those tools. How can I get them? Should I PM my email addy to either one of you?

One more question.
I looked into the text files, some of them contain HEX-coded pieces. Here is an example of what I mean from the wives.txt:

    onuse=100000001000000020000000C000000424547494E5F4449414C4F470200000005000000030000000100000075239C9877010000007306000000736E61705F30

Do you have a tool to (de)compile these as well (additionally to the act, .chat, .hero, .loc, .lu, .qst files)?
Thank you.

Using kfs archives that don't start with mod_ works fine for me, don't know what the problem on your box is. And yes, the tool can also decompile the blocks of hexcode, or at least most of them anyway, I can email it to you if you wish.

Hmmm. I tried again, and you're right: it does work without that tag in the file name. I am not sure why it was not working in the first place.

Anyway, please mail me those tools. Thank you. Sent my email address in a PM.
