Can we open the file without a tool or do we need something to unlock the files? I am interested in study8ing the textures and possibly the models. I see Rick's Tools is a SDK but was not sure if we needed it for unlocking any files...


 




At the outset i am really just interested in texture study and some basic modding, not ready for any  scripting etc. thanks for info on this, perhaps there is a tutorial here on basics? thanks and thanks for the great resources.

To get textures you need to extract them from SDS files.

OK thanks so i assume the tool set will do that... at least i am hopeful it will.
