So, my disclaimer is I've got no earthly idea what I'm doing. I've used the Color Magic and Mesh Tools to export packages. When I load them in S4pe every item comes back with an error. (Screenshot below.) I've tried this three times. What am I doing wrong?

I believe this is because when S4PE asks you to "commit changes" to ~whateveryou'rechanging~ you want to hit "no" and it looks like you've hit yes (which results in this error). I've had this happen quite a lot when viewing the preview for HEX values of a particular item. If you switch to one of the other options it stops happening. Wasn't sure until now if this was something only I was experiencing so I will report it in the tool's thread.

This could be the extraction problem - if you extract the s4pe files with the built-in Windows unzip for some reason the helper functions don't work. Try extracting the files with 7-zip.

I always use 7-zip, so I'm not sure that's why I was getting the error. But I found it easy enough to work around.

Ahh, yes that is what it was! I needed to extract with 7zip. Thanks a ton!

Will there be a fix to this to extract with WinZIP and there won't be any issue? I downloaded quite a bit of cc and got into this problem. I don't want to have to go through downloading all my cc again and go to each site just because I zipped with WinZIP and not 7.

The problem relates to unzipping the S4PE program itself... not to any other files.

As for a fix to S4PE, comments should go to the creator where you downloaded it

Thank you :D

Moving to Tools.
