Going to start modding...

[(Wusi)Trooper X]

Hello fellow SWBF Gamers and I am proud to say I want to start modding SWBF and start of by creating a map or two. But before I start running off and downloading the tools and programs, I was wondering if I need any patches for the mod tools, so that it may run with Windows 8? So my question for you all is: Are there any patches or extra steps I may need to do to run the mod tools with Windows 8? Thanks for the help and I cant wait to get started!

Here are my computer specs:
OS: Win 8
Processor: AMD Fx-4300 Quad Core Processor 3.80 GHz
Ram 8.00 GB
System: Type 64-bit

P.S.: Here's a list of my computer specs, if you see anything that may need a patch or extra steps to run the mod tools, feel free to leave a comment to.

From what I understand, the 64-bit fix should work on windows 8/8.1  with the exception of Soundmunge.

The 64 bit fix is included in the updated modtools that I have uploaded with patches.

That said, if you can run a virtualized windows XP, then I think you will have the best experience.  I run XP mode on windows 7 professional but I think there is also a way to run it on windows 8.

It's always good to have more modders around!

If you ever feel like getting into some light model/mesh work for buildings in a map, feel free the message me about it. Most mappers just rely on stock assets but even just a little bit of workable modeling knowledge can go a long way.

Yeah, same goes for me. I'm a bit busy these days but if you need any help just ask!
