Thank you for updating the modding the tools.

 

I must admit that I haven't been able to use this (previous) tool to its full potential, because some things are unknown. For example, where is the "samples.uib" for and how is it all linked?

 

Would you perhaps consider adding a short text with information on how to use your modding tool(s) on the download page?

 

Lol, I'm not the brightest of minds, I just realised UI stands for user interface.......

I'm taking care of how tools have to be used in the tuts I make :D

Very nice, I'll check it as soon as I open the PC.

You're very welcome :-)

 

Samples.UIB holds mappings of keys to .aud files in GAMESFX and the wav files contained within SOUNDS.RS (which you can open using the Sound Effect Tool at D2K+)

 

I'm not sure how helpful this is, since Templates.bin (which holds what units use what sounds, for example) uses the sound index rather than key. There is also a set of keys inside the .dat file.

 

It may be that the UIL files use the keys.
