Every time I update the Turtle Pack. Always need to seek help from their friends - for text translation.

Trisolo (scenario_t_c) help me to do a lot of work I am very grateful to him.

To seek help from others, I feel a headache so I could no longer continue to update this software.

Pulkit Commendable job, remember to keep updating this.

A few features that are sorely missed from SLP Editor:

1. Extract bitmap with custom background colour. The default background is white: rather unsuitable for image editing.

2. Enter anchor points for all frames in one go. Currently, the user needs to enter the anchors for each frame individually.

Is there a way to separate the 3 applications, so that we can assign the SLP Editor as the default application for .SLP files in Windows?

to pulkit:
Slp file is open, the order to press Ctrl + A, ctrl + I, can be realized on the second question.

Other issues be resolved in the next update. Thank you for your suggestion.

This is the google translation of the content...
Pulkit Ctrl+A, Ctrl+I will assign the same anchor to all frames. I meant giving different anchors to each frame. In MPS or Mod Workshop, for example, we can provide a text file with all anchors written down.

Also, I just noticed SLP Editor automatically sets good anchors on importing BMP files. That is excellent!

Turle pack has been updated, please re-download it.
Keisari Tapsa This definitely is a good pile of programs.

I'd like to be able to resize horizontally the preview area in DRS Editor 1.2.8. Some images are too wide to be fully displayed.

hi, Keisari Tapsa

If you agree, I want to Turtle Pack updates and maintenance work entrusted to you. Will the Turtle Pack all the source code sent to you - if you use the DELPHI ...
Keisari Tapsa You can send them if you wish, but I don't promise I'll develop it further. Perhaps I can use google translate to get it from China into English if your translator is sometimes out of reach.

The Turtle Pack is a combination of several Beta Modding tools. This utility is extremely useful for 64 Bit Windows users, who want to do graphical modding without having to install a virtual system first. The DRS Editor is of good quality, with its SLP Preview mode its easy to find the graphics you are looking for without having to use a drs graphics list. One shortcome though is, that you cannot cannot extract a single frame as a BMP file, you first have to extract the SLP, and then open it with the SLP Editor, to save it as Bitmap. The SLP Editor is the same as uploaded here in the AoKH Blacksmith, so i won't go more indepth about it. The Animation Preview is the probaly the Highlight of this Pack besides that you can run the entire thing on 64 Bit Computers. You can just import the SLPs and command your unit, wich is very useful if you want to see how the grapics of the different SLP's are working together.

Additional Comments:

A high quality utility i'd say, a must download for Modders who are using a 64 bit System.

This is one of the most important modding tools in AOK history. No longer do we have to use long and tedious methods to insert slps into the drs file, or even edit slp's themselves.

With a very easy and quick to learn interface, you'll be turning those custom images into mods in no time.

I fully recommend downloading this tool. It practically replaces most other modding tools out there.

It's absolutely brilliant. It even allows you to edit the binary text files stored in the drs files, which is really important if you want to get into the nitty gritty parts of modding.

It also allows you to edit the sound files (even in the interface.drs!!!

Quality/Instructions: 5

The quality and ease of use of this programme is exceptional. Everything is so easy to do. A right click on an slp or a sound and you get options such as add new file, replace file, delete file or extract file.

It doesn't stop there though. It pretty much has everything you'll ever need to mod the game.

***Changed Review Scoring.

I have updated my score to represent the new edition of this programme. I would like to thank the authors and developers for first of all not only listening to my suggestions but also implementing them in a very speedy manner. This is a really brilliant programme and I advice anyone who mods to download it.

Apart from data modelling (which AGE 2 is for) it simply does EVERYTHING you need it to and makes creating mods very very easy. It truely is the best modding tool ever created for AOK.

Additional Comments:

Overall. If you're a modder then DOWNLOAD IT! It's the best modding programme I've ever used and it's probably the best tool ever created for AOK (even better than mod pack studio).

I truely thank the authors for spending the time to create this programme.
