Where to find tools?

Where can I download Windows modding tools, please?

Fear and Loathing come with the 1.6 installer (you have to select them during the install process). Other tools can be found at The Tain.

I'm sorry I didn't state this in my first post; but, I meant I was looking for tools for Myth TFL. Sorry again

Those tools are for Macs only, AFAIK.

There were never PC TFL tools. You're better off modding Myth II, since there will be more people around to play your plugins.

If I have already installed 1.6 without selecting Fear and Loathing, can I simply run the 1.6 update again and install it on top of my current install. Would that delete any files or cause any problems ?

There were 3rd party mapmaking tools for TFL for Windows. But making TFL maps was a very elite hackish activity and I'm not sure why you would want to go to the immense trouble nowdays as nobody plays it anymore.

RPatrick, install the 1.6 update into an empty folder and copy the files you want across into your Myth2 directory.

I just want to extract the sprites in order to create forum avatars.

I won't guarantee all the links are still active, but for a fairly complete list of Myth TFL mapmaking tools, you might try:

--> I got the link from a page of common mapmaking related searches I thought people might find useful. You can find it here.

You should be able to do that with MythPacker and Tahoe.

I was able to get the sprites! Thanks!

One question: I noticed that Tahoe has an option to replace color tables when previewing the sprites. Is there a set of alternate color tables I can use that I can extract from the packages?
