Fireseed is a Model and Animation Editor for Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.

Help:

  • Select the files you want to edit from a folder by clicking on the change folder button located in the top left of the skinned mesh/animation/static mesh windows. Once you open a file a list of it’s contents are displayed in a Tree on the left side of the window. You can click on certain items in the tree to display their properties that will show in the right side of the window. Most of the data is mesh related and you shouldn’t change. The things you most likely want to do are change Hot Points for skinned meshes (You can add/remove them by right clicking them in the Tree view) and Key Frame Actions for Animations. (You can add/remove them by right clicking them in the Tree view)
  • Right click on any number field to bring up a list of “What is this?” options. This will for example tell you what sound 1364 is with a description.
