The 7th Guest: Tools & Modding
The 7th Guest modding and development directory: planned tools, resource replacement, script editing, custom content and reproducible mod workflows.
This is the directory for practical modification work on The 7th Guest. Planned topics connect archive and format research to tasks such as resource replacement, script editing, image and audio conversion, and testing a changed game. The aim is to document workflows that can be repeated and understood.
Queries about mods, game hacks, development and reverse engineering often overlap, but a working change still needs a specific input release, a description of the transformation and a test of the result. Entries remain planned until that material is written. No complete mod pack, patcher or recompilation is implied by a catalogue title.
This catalogue currently has 26 entries. 0 are published; the remaining entries are planned documentation, not completed guides.
