# '''''Use conversion tools from Blender'''''
#* First make sure you installed SCS Blender Tools see: [[https:Documentation/Tools/github.com/SCSSoftware/BlenderTools/wiki SCS Blender Tools/Installation]]#* Navigate to ''Conversion Helper '' panel in Scene ''Output'' properties tab.#* Set "''Conversion Tools Path" '' pointing to extracted conversion tools folder (the same folder as this readme file is in).#* Now conversion tools will be used when you will use operators of conversion helper<br />(for more info see: https:[[Documentation/Tools/github.com/SCSSoftware/BlenderTools/wikiSCS Blender Tools/Conversion-Helper]]).
# '''''Use binaries directly (for advanced users)'''''
#: Direct usage of conversion tools is done from command line<br />with execution of "conversion_tools/convert.cmd" script. Running this script will take any mid-format resources founded in<br />"conversion_tools/base" folder, correctly convert them into<br />binary format files and place them into "conversion_tools/rsrc" folder.#: After completed conversion all the content will be in inside "conversion_tools/rsrc/base/@cache". To create a mod you can ZIP "conversion_tools/rsrc/base/@cache" folder and place into the mod folder of the game as usual. In case of "conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt" usage each entry from extra mount will have it's own converted folder entry inside "conversion_tools/rsrc" So to pack a mod you will have to take result from each respective converted folder and put it together in same ZIP file (e.g. extra mount entry "my_mod" will have conversion result in "conversion_tools/rsrc/my_mod/@cache".<blockquote>NOTE: {{Note|Usage of "conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt" file with specified additional<br />sibling folder paths of "base" folder paths in each line of the file may also be used. This will cause<br />conversion tools to mount all of the paths the same as "conversion_tools/base"<br />folder. With extra mounted directories conversion tools will convert<br />all resources from "base" and all additional paths!}}</blockquote>After completed conversion all the content in "conversion_tools/rsrc"<br />folder can be ZIP-ed and placed into the mod folder of the game as usual. <blockquote>NOTE: if {{Note|If something goes wrong during the conversion, you can find additional<br />information in conversion tools log file ("bin/win_x86/mass_convert.log").}}</blockquote>
