The CTools Pack is a series of programs created by Chadderz to enable the editing of Mario Kart Wii's files and similar files. The program is under development, and the current code and status of the project is available at http://code.google.com/p/ctoolswii/.
Programs
The programs of the CTools pack are linked together with the CTools library dll, which provides features for checking for updates, and managing the programs.
SZS Explorer
The SZS explorer has the ability to change and expand the structure of SZS files and the files within SZS files.
BMG editor
The BMG editor is the second tool to be released in the pack, and it allows the user to edit and expand BMG files.
Image Editor
The image editor is a tool to allow modification of TPL and BTI images. It was added in version 1.00.0005.
BRRES editor
The BRRES editor has the ability to change and expand the structure of BRRES files, including the models and textures. In order to create models, users can now create a new BRRES file, and then use the File>Import>Wavefront OBJ button to import a .obj model. These models can be generated by many different programs. The user then has options of how to import the model, and whether or not to prepare it for use as a course or a map model. In order to replace an object, for example dokan_sfc.brres, the name of the model file within 3DModels(NW4R) must match the name of the model in the file it replaced, in this case dokan_sfc. Currently this program is a bit buggy, but it is being improved.
