Part 1
Extracting files
PLEASE DO NOT COPY !
This links with my other topic to 5.6 bams , Loads of people have asked me how do you get pview , extract .mf files. Well im going to show you all in one.
1. Download Panda3D v.1.1.0 from here
Start Picture Totorial Again, ugggh !
1. Navigate your way to where you installed Panda3D ( It is usually : C:\Panda3D-1.1.0 )

2. Open the bin folder in the Panda3d directory

3. Find and copy Multify.exe and PView.exe

4. Paste the Files to the desktop

5. Navigate your way to C:\Documents and settings\YOURNAME

6. Drag and drop the files off the desktop into the folder

7.Minimise the folder and Navigate your way to the toontown Open Server folder

8.Copy all the phase files ( from phase_3.5mf to phase_10.mf )

I know i have been very stupid and i forgot to copy al the phase files but anyone following this tutorial copy ALL the phase files !!
9.Paste the Files into C:\Documents and settings\YOURNAME ( or wherever you put PView and multify )

10.Go to run in the start menu and type cmd


Part 2 to come after ! I ran out of space , lol

11.It should load like this :

12.Type in Multify.exe -x -f Phase_######x.mf ( Change ######x to the number of the phase file you want to load ) And Hit Enter

13.The .mf file should extract into a folder


Phew, You have now extracted the toontown phase files, now you need to recode them .
This will show you how to open the lawbot files. Good Luck !!

Part 2
Opening 5.6 bams
PLEASE DO NOT COPY !
Me and Cool Spike are the only ones on this forum that know how to open them !
Thanks to a Cool Spike for sparking some ideas i finally worked out how to open the new Panda3D .bam files ( Version 5.6 bams ) !
Im making this a Step-by-Step guide for you to follow easily :mickey2:
( I asume you have extracted the new toontown phase files in this guide and that you have PView in the folder you want to view the .bam files )
OK , lets go .
1. Find a File Hex editor called : HDD Hex editor or do a search on MSNsearch for HDD hex editor ( Free ) !
Start Picture tutorial !
Ok, When the Hex Editior is installed , open it !

Once the program had loaded go to Open on the file menu.

Navigate your way to the NEW toontown phase files

( Im going to show you how to open the Lawbot HQ files , Loads of people will want to look at these ) So Go to Phase 10 and find the LBHQ folder and open any .bam file.

Look at the first line of Hex codes

Change the 06 to 04 ( See below )

The number should turn to a red 04 if typed correctly



Ran out of space again , please wait for part 3 !

Go to file and click Save

Close the program

Navigate to the phase_10 Folder and then to LBHQ

Click and drag and drop the file onto PView.exe

The File should open in PView

If Done correctly all I can say is CONGRATS ! You have just followed my guide correctly and now have the knowledge to open ANY 5.6 bams !
This Guide will work with any file , i was just showng LBHQ .
Happy Bamming !

What is a .bam file? Why would we need to open one? From the looks of the available pictures, it looks like reverse engineering a software application.

By looking at the software website, it looks like Panda 3D is for designing 3D games and such. Is this what a .bam file contains? 3D imagery data?

It may help to explain more details about what we are doing instead of just giving step by step instructions to do something. We need to know WHY we do this because the concept is unfamiliar to many people (I think).
Please also note that some of your images do not work.

Why not ? I love step-by-step instructions, so probably do some other people. At least when the images work, so you should at least review your tutorial in order to re-put the missing images.
But I absolutely agree with FirefoxRocks on the main point : what are these .bam files ? Besides this advertisement for free videos download site ?

Well I mean step-by-step instructions are awesome, but I think that the images distract from the content because there are too many, some of them are missing, and some of them are just plain ads for videos and images.
