RF Tools

There are a number of applications that come with RF. Most noticeable is the World Editor, which will be looked at in the next chapter. There are several additional tools that we will briefly look at:

RF INI Editor: This INI editor allows you to change and set options defined in the RealityFactory.INI file. You can use this to define the game level, the player actor, and the menu.

Actor Studio: Reality Factory models are referred to as actors and are in a custom format with an .act extension. This tool can create the ACT files from other formats.

Actor Viewer: This allows the user to view ACT files and animations.

Font Maker: The Font Maker can generate fonts that can then be used in RF. It uses the standard windows TrueType fonts that are installed.

TXL File Editor: Reality Factory levels use a format for the textures with the TXL extension. If you are familiar with Doom, these are similar to the WAD file. You can use this editor for the creation of these files.
