Description

  • ReNovator
    wraps the use of ModPacker: When you want to create your mod (.rbm file), ReNovator creates a temporary directory, copies all files there and runs ModPacker. Once ModPacker has finished packing the RBM, ReNovator removes the directory.
  • Removi:
    • Removi – the preview window – displays all your components like ReBirth does, so you no longer need to run ReBirth to check your latest adjustments.
    • Removi lets you can turn the knobs, click buttons etc. to fully test your graphics.
    • You can listen to the drums by clicking on them in Removi.
    • For fun, you can set all knobs, sliders and buttons to their minimum or maximum positions — and there’s even a randomize function!
  • You can keep using BMPS and WAV files — ReNovator does all the necessary conversion for ModPacker.
  • Using ModPacker-names ("12500.jpg", etc) or ReNovator-names ("303 Panel.jpg") is treated transparently — use what you like — or any other filename. We believe it’s more convenient to use filenames that are descriptive.
    And if you have (for example) a library with drum samples, you won’t have to rename and copy them – just drag’n’drop the file on the corresponding drum in ReNovator. It will do everything necessary to create the RBM.
  • In the image viewer, images can be resized so that they fit into its window – or do you prefer that image viewer’s size adapts to the image to be displayed? – You can do both!
  • The file browser (right list) is a full clone of the explorer. You can also Copy/Paste and drag’n’drop with the explorer.
  • We added many new options: For example now you can define a standard image and wave editing program that will be launched by double-clicking on an image or drum.
  • A simple wizard helps anyone who isn’t familiar with the basics of mod creation in ReNovator.
  • See the FAQ for some frequently asked questions.

1. Why use ReNovator ?

Some people just use ModPacker and say that that’s easy enough for making mods. ReNovator adds some comfort to this:
  • You can use images and drums from directories of your choice, so you no longer need to copy files.
  • The names of the files don’t have to be cryptic like with ModPacker. You can use your own names or take ReNovator’s name scheme.
  • PC users often work with WAV samples. ReNovator lets you use these instead of AIFF files and converts them automatically. You can even mix formats.
  • JPEG images have the disadvantage of losing quality when you alter them. Instead, you should use BMPs in 16 million colors, which keep their quality when you modify them. ReNovator treats BMPs and JPEGs equally and automatically converts BMPs to JPEG when creating the mod.
  • REMOVi – this previewer is indispensable for mod creation – at least that’s what my beta testers said. See below for a short description.
  • Last, but not least, you have a fully integrated program that helps you through every step of mod creation. The quick preview functionality for images and drums makes it especially easy!
