I take it this is the equivalent of the Dev. Board for Ares, so here goes....

Are there any NovaTool-esque editors for Ares? What about plain ol' Templates? Anything that could let me view the sprite files is what I'm looking for....

Your choices for Ares-editing are hera and resedit.

*ResEdit is not really a choice

I made a template for the races once, but you really can't do anything decent with it, since the resources are too complex.

hera is the GUI editor for ares scenario files. It's included in the Ares 1.2.0 folder, oddly named "hera" Posted Image

If you want to somehow copy the sprites, you'll either need to:

1. write a SMIV display plugin for ResEdit
2. write an application that can read and display SMIV resources
3. copy them frame-by-frame using screenshots from within Hera or ares.

look! its a signature!
