Modding Help Beginner's Guide to XNB Node and Graphics Editing

Sorry to bug you but for some reason when I tried to start up XNB Node it loads for a moment then closes for no reason, I even tried to re-downloading it but it happened again. Not even trying XNB Extract doesn't work. I have Windows 10(I had Windows 7 before but that was before having to get a new laptop) & I'm not sure if that's the problem or not. Sorry if I'm wasting someone's time or this was already asked or something.

Nevermind found XNB Node Master & that works.>_>;

 

xnb-node is a console application, you need to open the console and run it through that, there should be instructions on *the google* you can follow.

 

Thanks for telling me

 

I'm a bit confused. I have multiple craftable.xnbs I'm trying to combine they try to replace each other when put together in a folder for extraction how can I stop this? If I rename them to stop them trying to replace each other will I just be able to change the name back to the original name to get it to work again?

 

yep, just change names temporarily

 

Thank you so much! One more question I finished editing in gimp but now gimp has turned it into an xfb file. How do I change this back into a .png?

 

you need to export it, not save it, it's wierd....
and you want to uncheck the option for 'save background colors'

 

Thanks for all the help! Everything seems to be in order!

 

I tried to pack an unpacked .tbin into a folder, and all I got was this:

throw e;

Thank you for the guide, this has helped me a lot with modding so i can freely edit the sprites

 

im a little dumb and new to the entire thing so i can't really understand any of this in terms of coding and some of the images in the guide won't load, could someone help? i'm trying to use the peach body type/hair (https://blog.naver.com/PostView.nav...t=Dlog&widgetTypeCall=true&directAccess=false) but i got confused at the "merge them" and i've ended up here

 

I also faced the .png bug when using XNB Node. I tried to export certain pngs using XNB Node 0.2.1.7. today (for the new SV 1.6 version), and it did result in some problems for me:

Using XNB Node 0.2.2 (as suggested in the first post now) solved the issue.
