Overview

========

OMFMod is a utility which provides full access to all game artwork stored in B17's OMF files.

Images may be viewed, exported as TGAs, edited by an appropriate editor, then re-imported into the OMF for use in the game.

No artwork can be added that is not originally part of the game. But all existing game artwork ( nose art, texture maps, crew photos, background screens etc ) may be modified.

Installing OMFMod

=================

Download and apply the B-17 1.0 patch.

Copy OMFMOD.EXE and COREPARTS.DLL to the directory in which B17.EXE was installed. It requires access to DLLs shipped as part of the game and will not run without them.

Running OMFMod

==============

OMFMod may be run from the command line with a single parameter specifying the .OMF file to edit. Open a command shell window, change to the directory containing OMFMOD.EXE and run it with the name of the OMF to edit

e.g.

cd \Games\B17

OMFMod Resources\Media\Aircraft.omf

Or, by adding the directory into which OMFMOD.EXE was installed to your system's path and associating OMFMOD.EXE with the .OMF file type. OMFMod may then be run to edit an OMF by double clicking on an OMF file icon.
