When this is finished, it will cover every aspect of modding hopefully.
Anybody is free to help with this, just make a tutorial in html and send me the page. You will get credit
HOW TO READ: Download and open the attached html file
| Currently Covers |
The Freeroam App.
FE Setup
AE Setup
New game.bin entries
Removing Old Age Effects (by Tanro)
Changing Weapon Damage (by Tanro)
Character Swapping
Packing your mod
General Modeling for Fable
Blender Weapon Modeling
|
Still a WIP though.
UPDATE: Tue, 08 January 2008: fixed the freeroam tutorial.
UPDATE: Now includes backing up game files, FE and AE setup.
UPDATE: Now covers new game.bin entries (old removed at 44 downloads)
UPDATE: Fixed the Freeroam tutorial, added old age effects (by Tanro)
UPDATE: Made more usable + added Changing Weapon Damage by Tanro
UPDATE: Added character swapping (old download removed at 104 downloads)
UPDATE: Added more stuff
UPDATE: Re-did the whole thing by hand, typed it from scratch instead of using a WYSIWYG editor, so now it looks really nice and the code doesn't look like ****.
UPDATE: Added a ton of stuff to the modeling section, further cleaned the page
UPDATE: More formatting fixes and removed modeling tutorial, just read Noob to Pro, because mine's not so great. Old removed at 937 downloads.

and make sure you're not just clicking the picture of the icon in my tutorial, as you need to click the actual thing in your My Documents or wherever you saved it

I don't think it's even necessary to play with the names.bin.
And the beginning is simple enough, download FE, open it.
Definition edits take place in the game.bin.
Model edits happen in the graphics.big.
Texture edits go on in the textures.big.
Scripting edits have their place in the script.bin.
Map editing involves either the wad file or the levs and tngs.
That's the beginning, from there you "make your own destiny" by picking something and messing around with it.

Are definition edits like damage and stuff, becuase I've been trying to change the damage of some weapons but failed miserably. lol.

I didn't think that you could edit names.bin 
I can't even open it
p.s. you shouldn't double-post, just edit your message. Unless it's been a few days and you really need to get a message across

That means FE couldn't pull open names.bin. Did you by chance right-click|Close the names.bin? Or rename/move/delete it? That's the only causes I can think of.
While you can't manually edit the names.bin, FE is dependent on it and needs it open to make other edits work.
If you know for sure that it is in the right place, you can click File|Open, go to the Fable directory\data\CompiledDefs\names.bin (that's where it should be) and open it.

No I do that. I can open names.bin. I open that first then games.bin. Its just when I right click and save as the two files and chuck them back into the game the modifications don't take any effect.

then that's different, open names.bin, then game.bin, make your changes (make sure you click "apply changes" every change you m ake) then save mods & run fable, then re-compile files to original state (I believe bin's stay as bin's correct?)

Despite any cable you have hooked up from the pc to the xbox there is no physical way for fe to run anything on it.
There is nothing in the Void.
There is no point to it's being.
I wish there was a reason.
There is nothing in the Void,
But what we put there.

Well what I do. Is once I changed the damage of a weapon I put the name back in because on default the name goes blank. Then I click apply changes and then I go up to where the names.bin and games.bin are and I right click on them and press save as. I do that for both of them and then I put the files back into the game. Clear my cake on the xbox which are X,Y and Z files. Just one question I get the games.bin and names.bin file from the folder called Compiled Defs. Is that where I'm supposed to get it from ?

Awesome progress man. Just one thing. You should write what file you need to open e.g. game.bin and stuff and how to convert them to .big. If you've already written that I'm sorry and take this back I haven't read everything yet.

Just looked at the guide, pretty good. Just one thing, changing weapon damage... I've set damage to 9999999999 before an it has never crashed the game.
