- Navigate to the file you want to extract and click "Extract File" or just click "Extract All"
- Select an output folder
- Wait
- Once a file is laoded, extract all to the same folder the IGA is in.
- Navigate to File > Build.
- From the build window you can save the settings as a CSV, once you save you can close IGAE.
- Edit the extracted files with your desired changes.
- Once happy with your edits, reopen IGAE, navigate to File > Build, and load the CSV.
- Click Build, select your destination, and you'll have an IGA file.
- Once a file is loaded, find a texture or level.bld and double click it, alternatively, open an igz/level.bld directly.
- You'll be presented with the igz viewer, find an object of type igImage2 and you'll see a preview and an option to extract.
- Once a file is loaded, find a texture or level.bld and double click it, alternatively, open an igz/level.bld directly.
- You'll be presented with the igz viewer, find an object of type igImage2 and you'll see a preview and an option to replace.
- If you opened an iga initially, save the igz and replace the original level.bld and rebuild.
- If you opened an igz directly, your changes save automatically.
If you're on mac or linux use wine but idk if that works
