Okay gang. I fixed the file filtering that was going on and added a few other goodies. You can great the 2.1 version or there’s a patch there that will update 2.0 to 2.1 if you’re so inclined. Here’s a rundown of what’s changed:

Added

+Attribute column to file list

+HTML Viewer for web pages

+FAM viewer for family files

+Support for more image types (JPG, TGA)

+Simple MP3 player for MP3 files (ugly but works)

+File list is now sorted by clicking on the column header

+Rotation Control for viewing objects

+EXPi (Exported Family Info) resoure type

+uChr (Bodystring Resource) resource type

Fixed

!Image export available for SPR and IFF files

Changed

*All file types are shown for selection

*Delete now disabled if no file selected

*0 byte files are not displayed in view

Removed

-Two extra columns (Modified and Attributes) from Far file lists

Enjoy!

Hi guys. Just a quick update about SimExplorer. I’m releasing a patch tonight (gotta love those 1 day releases huh?). This will do the following:

• Added rotation control for viewing objects
• Changed mask to allow viewing all file types (skins, etc.)
• Added HTML viewer
• Added MP3 player
• Added more image formats
• Added sorting by clicking on the file list headers

That’s what I have so far. We’ll see how much we get done by the end of today then I’ll release a new version and a patch (for those that don’t want to download the full fileset).

Also some people have mentioned that they’re keeping the old version until all the features are added. Well, that’s your choice but it’s like waiting for every known feature to be added to a car before you buy it. Personally I think the new one should be installed so you don’t have to do it later. Oh well, maybe that’s just me. Catcha later.

Greets!

I just released the new utility ObjectViewer. ObjectViewer is a simple viewing utility to view object files. Similar to SimExplorer, it lets you browse all object files in the game, from various angles and optionally export the images to standard graphic file formats.

Features include:

• View objects quickly and easily
• Automatically detects and locates your Sim objects
• Displays full filename where object is located to view duplicate objects
• Supports multi-tile objects and assembles the images together
• Unique rotation control to view objects from 4 different angles
• Select near, medium or far zoom levels
• Customizable background color
• Export to standard graphic file formats
• Supports The Sims, Living Large and House Party objects

Below is the screenshot from the final version. Enjoy. Note: If you downloaded it before midnight and get a message about a missing DLL file, grab it again. It’s fixed (duh!)
