DESCRIPTION
VIV Wizard is a utility to create and modify VIV files from Need For Speed 3. A VIV file is a
bunch of files packed into a big one... Kinda like a zipped file. The files contained within the VIV
file will from hereon be referred to as objects. Currently the program is under development and
therefore has some limitations in reliability and functions. At this time, VIV Wizard can add,
remove and extract the objects that resides within the VIV file. It can also view, extract and
replace and edit TGA, FSH and QFS, FEDATA.* and CARP.TXT objects. Perhaps even
some sound altering and 3D stuff will be added...
No more command-line decoding/encoding with 16+ parameters and numerous different
programs just to alter a cars performance. That is a thing of the past...
