Follow thee to the tutorials forum for it, or alternatively you can use Lord Fjords tutorial into editing THN files. No offense, but another case of "try searching first"

So - here is Lord Fjords (*cause it includes a link to bob's tutorial, which includes the utility to decode the files )

Clicky here

Hmm - oh well, there is one by Bob Mcdob? i think it is, in tutorials.......but Lord Fjord writes about the best tutorials you can get . I was writing a system one once, when someone told me he had a good one. After reading his, i ditched mine........cause i couldn't improve on it

Hehe, Chips
reminds me to get some of them up to date with latest knowledge and fix some errors.
there are a few things where i just think: was it me who wrote that?

to the thn files:
you need a lot of patience.
best is to take an existing scene and modify it step by step, thats how i did it.
I havent created one from scratch or finished a new scene (its maybe 30% done but its rather low-priority for me), but i took a closer look at the files and how they work.
there are like 10 things that i would like to test or to verify (changing FOV of cams), change cams during scene, rotating cams, change facing of cam while it moves, ...

setting up a nice fleet scene, ...

the thing is that this all needs very good preperation and even better timing.
if someone finds a visual tool to make these scenes, pls tell me... i cant imagine they did this with notepad (as i do...)
