The ability to save/restore filter settings is very useful when doing searches such as ...
Fixed auto-edit for next Id after pressing enter in "Clothing" mode.
Added "Split into files" option for "Standalone Clothing" mode.
"Standalone Clothing" mode takes one or more .package files containing GZPS/3IDR resource pairs and locates all their required STR#, TXMT and TXTR and copies them into the same .package files as required, effectively "de-repo'ing" them.
If the "Split into files" option is checked, each GZPS/3IDR pair and associated STR#, TXMT and TXTR resources are then written into individual files.
We can also use this feature to split combined recolours into individual .package files, effectively "de-merging" them.
For example, using this technique on the "cornyregans-default-afbodymaternityshirtpants.package" file, which contains nine maternity defaults ...
... we end up with nine files containing a single default and a tenth file containing the mesh.
Presumably because we only wanted a few of the defaults, and not all of them.
Note: This is not intended as a way to "de-merge" after using CCMerger. The best way to do that is to restore from backups. It may work, it may not. It really depends on how much and what has been combined.
Added support for diff'ing BHAVs.
Shows lines inserted/removed
And for changed lines the operands and/or exit routes changed
Note: Exit routes have been changed into relative offsets. Keeping them as absolute destinations means that every line has been changed after an insertion/deletion!
Like any code diff, the more changes between the two versions the greater the chance that it all goes horribly wrong!
A spreadsheet of (almost) all Maxis Meshes (CRES resources) - useful for tracking down which Maxis mesh is used by a recolour when all that's known is a TGIR value.
Added the ability to save the displayed results as CSV, via the "Save As CSV" File menu action.
Also, can now select two .package files with Windows Explorer and open both as one drag/drop action. If they are the wrong way around in the left/right tree views, just use the Switch icon to flip them.
DBPF Compare is a utility for helping to identify the differences between two .package files.
It can be used to answer questions such as:
DBPF Compare can also copy resources from one .package file into the other
Conventional applications such as Beyond Compare and WinDiff struggle with .package files as
DBPF Compare understands the internal format of .package files and overcomes these peculiarities.
If you do not know why you would want to compare the resources within two .package files, this application is not for you!
The Accessory Bin numeric entry area has been changed to a combo-box. In addition to entering a numeric value (and pressing Enter to make it stick) you can now add your own named values via the new Resources/XML/config.xml file - see Resources/XML/config_example.xml for details. Additionally, the mouse-over tooltip for the Accessory Bin column will display any associated name for the value in the cell.
Added an Advanced Mode to hide numeric layers, meshes and townify options/buttons if not selected.
Added support for Default Replacements when Advanced mode is enabled - these display with a prefix of "DR - " in the Type column, eg "DR - Clothes - Full". Default replacements CANNOT have their Sort value changed, and default replacement accessories CANNOT have their Jewelry(Bin) or Destination values changed.
Fixed a bug where a custom career that had already appeared in the job search (newspaper or computer) would still appear even after adding the code to make it unselectable.
Gives teens with a D+ grade (or lower) and no job, a negative memory of failing school as they grow up to become a (young) adult.
Requires Age Transition Messages.
I'm surprised I need to post this, because it should be obvious if you pause and think about it …
If you have altered a mod to make it compatible with something else, or you have followed the instructions on configuring a mod and your changes don't work, just posting "it doesn't work what have I done wrong" WITHOUT also posting a link to the .package file you have altered means I have to get my crystal ball out - and as that is currently broken you're out of luck.
… but apparently there are people out there who don't think. Presumably they also call a car mechanic to ask them what's causing the strange sound in the back of their car, or ring the vet to enquire why their pet has a limp.
Without your modified .package file, there is nothing I can do to help.
Edit: The actual .package file, not a %$#&ing screen grab!
All future PM's, comments, etc along these lines without the .package file(s) you have modified will now be deleted.
Please also read Part 1
PS: I do not download anything from MediaFire.
Added an option to extract .package files from .zip files within the Scan Folder.
Probably more use to modders trying to figure out which package file(s) in another mod's multiple download zip files conflict with one of their own.
Compatibility patch available for the conflict with LimeyYoshi's More Bathroom Intelligence! mod
I've gather all my SImAntics and SimPe notes together for easy reference
Updated to include menu items to display the Sim's interests and hobbies
Fixed the bug when an object's description was missing.
Mouse-over tooltips for array entries now display any associated object name
Lot Objects now sort numerically again
