PFM Updates? ( Tables still red ) TW3k
Hi all, ever since the assembly tool kit was released I have yet to see anymore updates on PFM schemas.

I understand we can use the assembly kit to see all the tables however I am unable to see certain tables on mods I've downloaded on PFM such as the "composed_entities_Tables" still red, but other modders use it in their mod.

Did everyone just stopped using PFM?
I think pfm is still a much faster way to edit database and manage mods than the assembly kit.

Assembly kit is good but it does not have any guide on how to browse for files, so you're essentially stuck with a default file path and making changes takes such a long time.

Sorry about the slowness of schema updates. I've been quite busy lately between the demands of family and looking for a job. When I have time I've been working on making a tool to do most of the job of automatically decoding table schemas since experience tells me that if I had time to work on decoding schemas near full time (which I don't) it would take ~1 month by hand.

There is no need to be sorry, forgive me for not mention the fact I appreciate or rather we appreciate the entire pfm you or you guys have created.

I am just wondering how are modders decoding it or updating their own schemas etc

Most of the reason I say sorry with relation to the schemas is because I mostly just disappeared without saying anything about 1.6 months ago (also, wow, I did not realize it had been that long). If you want to help with decoding schemas for PFM, I wrote a tutorial on the TWC forums[www.twcenter.net]. If you don't want to spend time working on the schemas when I intend to fill them in with a tool soon-ish and don't want to wait, I'm pretty sure Rust Pack File Manager (RPFM) has had their own tool they used to decode the schemas completely a while ago.

Thank you, I didnt know RPFM was something different than PFM...

Quick question not sure if you can help, for CEO_DATA.CCD do you have any clue how we can open that and modify? Currently I have to adjust changes in Assembly kit and then re-build CEO everytime, with like 4 step process to get it into.pack.

I'd have to look at it. My understanding is they made the ceo data a lot more complex or made a new file format for it that would require some work to parse and generate reliably. Regardless, I won't know until I look at it, which I don't think I will have time for soon.
