Description

Eventor allows you very quickly and easily edit in-game events.

It will automatically unpack/decompress and pack/compress any event archives that you want to modify.

For any file not directly supported by the tool you can export / import data from that file.

Prerequisites

An extracted version of Luigi's Mansion.
- You can find the tutorial on how to obtain this here.

How to use

First-time setup

The first time you open the tool, you will need select the folder that houses your event archives.
- To do so, select File, then load. Then, select the folder that has your events inside (usually root/files/Event)
- After you have loaded the Event folder, Eventor will remember it (If you want to set a new Event folder, you just do step 1 over again)

Editing events

To edit an event, you simply need to select it from the drop-down at the bottom and it will load up.
- Here are the tabs you may see at the top of the window and what they correlate to:
  - Logic is the event code.
  - Dialog are the lines that can be spoken using <SPEAK>.
  - Others such as .cmn (Camera) files may appear as tabs as well, but are not editable within Eventor.
To save any changes for the currently loaded event, you click File > Save. The program will automatically pack the modified event to an .szp file and overwrite the original.

Defining names for custom events

If no name is defined for a custom event, Eventor will display "NO DESCRIPTION...". To fix this:

Open the definitions.opx file found in the Eventor folder.
Scroll to the bottom of the file.
Add a line following this formatting: <EVENT NAME>:::<EVENT DESCRIPTION>
1. For example, if I wanted to add event106 to the list, with the name "My custom event name here", I would add the line:
```
event106:::My custom event name here
```
Save the file.
