This document describes how to use the Skies of Arcadia Legends Editor program. For help with a particular part of the editor, follow the links below.
This section demonstrates how to set up your Skies of Arcadia files so that you can edit them.
Step 1: Extracting the files
Included with the SOALEditor download is a program called "GCRebuilder". It's located inside the gcr_1.0 folder. This program was written by BSV, and will be used both to extract files from a GameCube disc image, and later rebuild the image with your modified game files. Double click on gcr_v1.0.exe to get started. If needed, you can view the GCRebuilder readme file for more detailed instructions.
In GCRebuilder, select Image > Open... from the menu, then browse to where you have an SOAL disc image.
Click Open. GCRebuilder will then display something similar to the following window:
Right click on "root", then select Export. Browse for a folder where you want to save the extracted game files,
then click OK.
Step 2: Run the SOALEditor program
The next step is to run the SOALEditor program and start editing the game files. Follow the links at the top of the page for more specific information.
Note: In order to run the program, you will need the .NET framework installed.
If it runs successfully, you should see this window:
Step 3: Rebuild the disc image with GCRebuilder
Once you've modified all the game files you want, launch GCRebuilder again. This time select Root > Open... from the menu. Browse to the root folder of your modified SOAL game files and click OK.
Once it's loaded, select Root > Save... to select a location where your newly built disc image will be saved. Then select Root > Rebuild to initiate the image rebuilding process. When it's all done you'll have a disc image ready to play in the Dolphin emulator.
