 #* 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 &quot;''Conversion Tools Path&quot; '' 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]]). 

 #: Direct usage of conversion tools is done from command line<br />with execution of &quot;conversion_tools/convert.cmd&quot; script. Running this script will take any mid-format resources founded in<br />&quot;conversion_tools/base&quot; folder, correctly convert them into<br />binary format files and place them into &quot;conversion_tools/rsrc&quot; folder.#: 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".<blockquote>NOTE: {{Note|Usage of &quot;conversion_tools/extra_mount.txt&quot; file with specified additional<br />sibling folder paths of &quot;base&quot; 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 &quot;conversion_tools/base&quot;<br />folder. With extra mounted directories conversion tools will convert<br />all resources from &quot;base&quot; and all additional paths!}}</blockquote>After completed conversion all the content in &quot;conversion_tools/rsrc&quot;<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 (&quot;bin/win_x86/mass_convert.log&quot;).}}</blockquote>
