After installing "SCS Conversion Helper" make sure that addon is enabled! =Usage=

==# '''''Use conversion tools from Blender==''''' Use "#* First make sure you installed SCS Conversion Helper" addon. This addon actually grabs "SCS Project Base Path" property from Blender Tools see: [[https:Documentation/Tools/github.com/SCSSoftware/BlenderTools/wiki/Global-Settings#path-settings SCS Blender Tools Global Settings/Installation]] and uses conversion tools binaries #* Navigate to convert resources with simple click of a button. After enabling of an addon, additional panel in Blender named "SCS ''Conversion Helper" will appear '' panel in ''Output'' properties window under "Scene" tab. [[File:Scs conversion helper.jpg]] Panel features: #*Set '''"Conversion Tools Path" property''' - specified path pointing to extracted conversion tools binaries mentioned abovefolder.#*'''"Clean 'rsrc' folder" property''' - using this option any content in <code>conversion_tools/rsrc</code> Now conversion tools will first be removed then conversion used when you will take place*'''"CONVERT CURRENT SCS PROJECT" operator''' - will write current "SCS Project Base Path" to <code>extra_mount.txt</code> and run the use operators of conversion.NOTEhelper (for more info see: This kind of usage will convert only resources which are in "conversion_tools[[Documentation/Tools/base" and resources from "SCS Project Base Path". After conversion is done, content inside <code>conversion_toolsBlender Tools/rsrc</code> folder can be ZIP-ed and placed into the mod folder of the game as usualConversion Helper]]). ==# '''''Use binaries directly (for advanced users)=='''''#: Direct usage of conversion tools is done from command line with execution of <code>&quot;conversion_tools/convert.cmd</code> &quot; script. Running this script will take any mid-format resources founded in <code>&quot;conversion_tools/base</code> &quot; folder, correctly convert them into binary format files and place them into <code>&quot;conversion_tools/rsrc</code> &quot; folder. NOTE#: Usage After completed conversion all the content will be in inside &quot;conversion_tools/rsrc/base/@cache&quot;. To create a mod you can ZIP &quot;conversion_tools/rsrc/base/@cache&quot; folder and place into the mod folder of the game as usual. In case of &quot;conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt&quot; usage each entry from extra mount will have it's own converted folder entry inside &quot;conversion_tools/rsrc&quot; 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".<codeblockquote>{{Note|Usage of &quot;conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt</code> &quot; file with specified additional <code>base</code> sibling folder paths of &quot;base&quot; in each line of the file may also be used. This will cause conversion tools to mount all of the paths the same as <code>&quot;conversion_tools/base</code> &quot; folder. With extra mounted directories conversion tools will convert all resources from <code>base}}</codeblockquote> and all additional paths! After completed conversion all the content in <codeblockquote>conversion_tools/rsrc</code> folder can be ZIP-ed and placed into the mod folder of the game as usual. NOTE: if {{Note|If something goes wrong during the conversion, you can find additional information in conversion tools log file <code>(&quot;bin/win_x86/mass_convert.log&quot;).}}</codeblockquote>.
