Fearless_Jedi Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Know first that I have the deepest respect for the Holowan community and all the modders who added days of replayability and fun to 2 already great games. I post here simply because I have been trying to mod another game and have so far failed. Though this game isn't Star Wars related it was also developed so that modding it is nearly impossible. I simply have a few thoughts I hope the modders here can help me with. How can I modify a .str file? I know there are programs out there that can help but the file is rather large (1.8 gigs) and I am afraid I do not have enough RAM to accomidate. I have heard of programs that can turn .str files into .ini files so if someone can point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it. Thank You Mod note: Moved to the general games forum since it's not about the KOTOR series. ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier to offer any help if you said what game this is about. File extensions can be fairly generic and re-used by several different programs even if the data format inside is different.

Jae Onasi Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 While I'm sure we don't mind helping you out if we know the answer, I'd also recommend going to the forums for that particular game--it's far more likely to find people who are familiar with the game and how to mod it.

Fearless_Jedi Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 The game is Hitman Blood Money, and so far I cant find anyone from their forums who has come up with a solution or some sort of unpacker program that can turn this 1.8 gig .str file into something more editable. That is mainly my reason for coming here because I remember back in the old days how unmoddable KotOR was then a bunch of innovative modders came along and made it work. I for one dont mind putting in the work to find a way to beat this monster but my knowledge of certain file extensions is rather limited and so far my searches on the .str extension has yielding many different possibilities. What I know for sure is that the information in this file is somewhat similar to what you might find in a .big file and it needs to be unpacked to be able to get to the goods inside. p.s: Thanks for moving the thread I wasn't sure where to put this in the first place.

I had a quick look around and found this program (Extractor) that supposedly is able to extract resources from a STR archive file for Hitman:Blood Money, but since I don't have that game I don't know anything more about how/if it works than I have read. If no one more familiar with the game has a better suggestion to offer it might be worth having a look at at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
