Modding Tools?

[Caelum]

Anyone know which kind of modding tools work with the game yet? I want to dive into the files and mod Sprite palletes asap

I have no idea what I'm doing and it was the first time I tried anything like it but Quickbms can unpack a lot of the .dat files if you use the nispack.bms script someone made or know what you are doing.

If you unpack Start_JP.dat you can get a Textures.dat that can then be further unpacked into a bunch of .txf files which should be what you are looking for. Checking them on a hex editor they appear to be using NIS' usual YKCMP_V1 compressing method but I was not smart enough to figure out how to get anything out of them using the tools I found.

I see. A good place to start, thanks!
