Here's another update to FE.
This version now supports tng's inside of fmp's. However for these to work you need to be using the wad file and not the extracted files from freeroam app.
A number of bugs have been fixed and other functionality tweaked and so on.
And as always, you need Directx 9.0c and .Net Framework 2.0
Enjoy.
*Update 03/13/07: New build to fix environments bug. No need to get a clean game.bin, just recompile your existing one and your environments should be working again.
Note: There is also a new ability to preview and export animations inside of FE. To use it open a model, such as MODEL_HERO, and drag an animation for that model onto the preview window, such as ANIM_HERO_RUN. To export the animation you are currently viewing just export the model and the current animation will be embedded with the model in the x-file. This functionality has a known bug that causes FE to crash when closing the preview window. Use this feature AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Development Halted
I thought this was pretty much publicly known, but here it is anyway. I am no longer currently working on Fable Explorer or any fable modding. If you are interested in continuing FE development let me know and I will get you setup with access to the source code. FE was written in C++ and C#. If you plan on looking into developing FE you should be familiar with these languages or be interested in learning them.
As for me, I may return to working on fable modding and tools in the future, but most likely that will not happen unless Fable 2 goes to PC.
def.xml updatesFixed xml bug for Expressions (id="490EB7EE" was removed because of name collisions "ExpressionNumber") id restored for quick fix
Another fix. Script.bin fixed Arena data. - Silver
Edited xml to make all UI entries work. Controls for 534F6B34, E23F5B70 and B24937F2 made into arrays.
90788BC7 and F5F55B34 made into ints, links to namesbinoffset now. - JohnDoe
Edited xml again, all cutscene entries work now. Controls for CE30D4ED and 5800D39A made into arrays. - JohnDoe
05/08/2010 - Added CTavernGameCardBaseDef, CTavernGameCoinGolfDef, CTavernGameDef, CTavernGameShoveHaPennyDef, and CTavernGameSpotTheAdditionDef to the list of supported entries. Enjoy. - JohnDoe

Probably.  There's a button in model entries marked "load", would you like to hazard a guess at what it does ?
If you want to add an entirely new mesh to the game you will need to:
- Go to graphics.big > right click on title "graphics.big" > new entry.
- Give the item a symbol name and assign it the right model type. You can determine this by finding a similar model in the listing and checking it's type.
- Import data & sub header from another model.
- Hit the load button and select your replacement mesh.
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.

Hello I'm new to this forum and also new to hacking fable. I have had experience in modding GTA SA and making FTP connections, so I think that will help me. I was just wondering if there was a tutorial on this site explaining how to mod Fable TLC and how to use Fable explorer. I have Fable TLC on my my modded xbox. Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Max Kreeger

Here is an updated Xbox xml for Fable Explorer. You will need this if you plan on editing TLC for xbox or using mods (must be labeled as such for xbox!) Just download Fable Explorer Beta 4 - http://fabletlcmod.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=1330& ;amp ;amp ;amp ;amp ;amp ;amp ;amp ;start=0& and replace the def.xml with the one below.
There are 2 mismatch errors here. One wasn't finished in xml release and I broke it on purpose. If you edit an unfinished entry like this it would kill your game. The second is blank for xbox and doesn't even matter (I didn't feel like deleting the entire entry).
If you want to mod your scripts.bin you will need to get a Hex editor and try this below. Hex edit script.bin and look at the images below.
 <-- Original Edit the selected bytes.
 <-- Change to the following, Open in Fable Explorer and mod it. When you are done you must change the bytes back to original ones before transferring them to Xbox. This is basically just tricking Fable Explorer to reading it as game.bin. The xml was converted for script.bin as well.
So original bytes - 76B92D45
Change to - AA454448 and then vice versa.
When you are editting Cdefs for Xbox you must name them! If you fail to do so your fmp will crash on load. Cdefs for Xbox are by default blank. So editting existing ones will throw a fit.
I started this thread for xbox mods etc. Please keep the conversation as such and don't spam it.

Some more. You will need to do the following. Get textures.big, graphics.big, text.big, names.bin, and game.bin. Do all the biz <-> big conversions via Fable Tools or something zlib.
Now for Katana and JOB Mask to import correctly you will need to download XboxTool below, open and hit Convert textures.big. Select your textures.big file and that is it for now. Open everything in Fable Explorer and load the fmps. Before you compress do the same thing above (Open XboxTool hit Convert - textures.big) Then Compress and upload back to xbox.
It will do the script.bin thing above and convert back the next time you load it up. The .biz -> .big stuff was blocked because I wanted to speed it up some more. Just use Fable Tools for now.

...All you really have to do is grab all your xbox files. Decompress all the .biz with Fable tools (link above). Keep these and just hit convert textures big with XboxTools. Keep these files and when you need to create another directory when you hit recompile (.bigs) and save as .bin. Then compress all your .bigs back to .biz (make sure to convert textures.big above back to xbox).
Now when you close FE and open it again just select your originals (not the recompiled ones) and they are brand new and the others will have the mods.

kind of a necropost, but rules for opening game files:
1. open names.bin
2. open the rest of the files except script.bin
3. do what Silver says in the first post
4. import script.bin
5. apply mods, close.
6. reverse any hex edits or conversions.

Then here for how to use fable explorer, but after insalling FE replace the def.xml in the FE root directory with the one attached to this post: http://fabletlcmod.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&&th=143 6&goto=13135#msg_13135
Does that explain it for you? It's kinda hard until you figure it out. Just make sure you open names.bin first
btw all the quotes are from that thread
"All of the work, and none of the play, will surely provide for a speedy decay"

Well, I know this post might be useless, but since there are still people that likely continue bits of work over Fable Explorer, I have to say that it works perfectly on Windows 7 - 64bit.

Thread locked and epically cleansed due to idiots and morons and imbeciles. This wouldn't have been necessary if you twats only knew how to read. There were only a few simple issues in the 250+ deleted posts in this thread alone, and I've collected these common problems and solutions for your convenience. If you have a different problem not listed here when running FE, post about it in the tool discussion forum. That's why it's there.
Common Problems and Solutions
Problem
When starting the app, the splash screen shows up and it hangs or 'freezes' not doing anything, OR you get an 'Access Denied' error.
Solution
Read this AND the guides at the bottom, I didn't plug DarkenedSoul for no reason - he knows what he's talking about.
If you're not a Vista or Windows 7 user, then you're an idiot and you need to undo the 'Read-only' flag on the files.
Problem
You get an 0xC0000135 OR an 0xC000007B OR an HRESULT: 0x8007007E error.
Solution
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
Problem
You open FE and none of the files show up.
Solution
Either the files aren't there, the registry information is missing, or the registry information is wrong.
In any case, a reinstall of Fable is the easiest way to fix this problem.
Problem
When loading the program, you get an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error.
Solution
Make sure you have the game installed, a no-brainer but then again some of our members obviously don't have brains.
Make sure you're not doing something stupid like trying to open FE by double-clicking an .FMP file.
Make sure you didn't delete or move any of the DLLs and that they're in the same directory as the FableExplorer.exe.
Make sure you downloaded the XML and have that in the same directory as the FableExplorer.exe.
Still get the error? Try installing these: This; this and this.
Are they all needed? No, but these are all good things to have anyway.
Still get the error?
Well, you could try getting DirectX 9.0c, never know.
It's better to get the DirectX Runtimes though, you'll need it for ChocolateBox anyway.
Still get the error?
Tough shit.
