Tutorial:Creating Puzzle Pieces

Creating puzzle pieces. What you need 1. Basic understanding of the reader 2.

Because the file RUL files are so large they can’t be modified in the reader, so we have to export them and open them in notepad. To do this we first open the NetworkAddonMod_Controller.dat file (NAM Controller) in the reader. You should see 4 files, 1 DIR and 3 RUL like below

Right click on the RUL file with the Instance ID (IID) of 10000000 (this is the puzzle piece RUL). This will bring up a fairly long context menu. Click “Save decoded file”, the second option from the top. And this box will appear. Which tells you the name of the file and that it has been saved.

Now in Windows, browse to your Network Addon Mod folder and you should see the file you just saved along with another one with the same name except it has “.TGI” on the end. Rename the file circled in red to “Puzzle Piece.rul” And the file circled in green to “Puzzle Piece.rul.TGI” The two file names must always match except for the “.TGI” on the TGI file.

Now we’ve exported the RUL file we can get onto the better stuff: Creating the puzzle piece First you need to open the Puzzle Piece.rul file in notepad, it will look like this:
